I've never been on a flight with in-flight movies.  :bluesad:

Yeah, now there's a depressing movie and a half.  Eesh.

Things I remember seeing on a plane:

- The Armour of God - Jackie Chan movie, and appropriately enough on a trip to Hong Kong in about 1988 or so.  I had already seen in fives times, but to see it in a plane was great.

- Masquerade - at least, I think it was.  Kim Cattrall movie in which she appears bare breasted on a bed, this time on a boat, surprise surprise.

- Mission to Mars - what a waste of a movie.  Remake of 2001, only on Mars.  Duh.

- Georgia Rule - Lindsay Lohan movie in which she plays a messed up slut.  Whoa, what a stretch.

- Anvil: The Story of Anvil - fantastic rockmentary about an 80's heavy metal band that never made it big like Poison or Motley Crue.  I highly recommend this one.

- Salt - not the Angelina Jolie movie, but another documentary, this time about the great Australian landscape photographer Murray Fredericks, and how he spent five weeks a year, for six years, camped in a salt lake in Australia.  His photography is stunning, and the movie is definitely worth watching.

I don't fly, but on a recent bus trip to NYC, the showed Daylight on the way up AND on the return trip.

Yeah, bus trips.  I traveled on two overnight bus trips between Melbourne and Sydney.  On the way down we watched Twilight; the Japanese tourist sitting next to me barely spoke English and couldn't really understand the film (which no doubt spared him the true horror that is Twilight). 

The second movie was The Ramen Girl with Brittany Murphy, which was a surprisingly good movie about a girl who followed her boyfriend to Japan, only to be dumped by him.  She was utterly despondent, and somehow managed to apprentice herself to a ramen chef who could not speak English, much to both their chagrin.

Never been on a plane that seated more than 30 or 40 people. My flying experience is limited to small charter flights and private planes.

None.

And I am not talking about the title of a film. And there are a number of reasons why.

(1) I have already seen it, and I have no interest in seeing it again.

(2) I have not seen it, but I have no interest in seeing it the first time.

(3) And they often edit the film for content, and I will not watch a film that has been edited for content.
