Just curious: what movies do you remember seeing on a plane?
I think I've only seen one, and I've been on many flights in my lifetime: Happy Gilmore.  Didn't care for it.

Snakes On A Plane, believe it or not.  :buggedout: :buggedout: :wink:

Pure Country and The Bodyguard are a couple I remember.

National Treasure and um...something with Adam Sandler in it.  :thumbdown:  I think it was Spanglish.

Just a random side note.  I saw a safety video once with a guy in it who I swear was Bruce Campbell.  I looked up and down the internet but there is no documentation of him doing on.

Criswell

That just gave me the worst idea. What if Evil Dead was remade...ON A PLANE. :buggedout:

I have only been on a plane once, and it was a short trip on a cheap airline so no movies for our flight.

ChocolateChipCharlie

I've been to Europe a couple times and those are the only times there have been movies available to watch.  Some of the ones I remember:

Envy - terrible Ben Stiller/Jack Black/Christopher Walken movie
The Big Bounce - Morgan Freeman/Owen Wilson, also not good
My Cousin Vinny - classic.  Ralph Macchio is 49 now....
Lawrence of Arabia - this is a fantastic movie for chewing up long flights, for the same reason it's a great Sunday afternoon movie.  You can put it on, doze off now and then, and it doesn't matter.  It will be good when you're watching but it's not so riveting that you can't fall asleep.
The Third Man - great old movie.  Orson Welles/Joseph Cotten.  Zither music.  Fantastic film.

Also, I once took a flight and only had my laptop available for entertainment, and only had the first couple episodes of LOST to watch.  Probably not the best choice for in-flight viewing.   :bouncegiggle:

The Burgomaster

I've seen quite a few . . . but most of them I had already seen in the theater or on tape or DVD.  I can't remember most of them (I think I watched about 4 movies on my way to China a few years ago and probably 3 or 4 more on my way home . . . damned if I can remember what any of them were).  Here are a few I can think of, but this list is not nearly complete:

* THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE
* RV
* TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
* THE INTERPRETER
* THE RUNDOWN
* MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III

I actually can't remember much of what I've seen in-flight. The last movie I remember is The Prestige.

I did read Stephen King's The Langoliers on a flight once.  :bouncegiggle:
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

Funny!  How fitting!  :bouncegiggle:
Actually Final Destination or maybe Airplane would be good too.

That's nothing. I flew from Cape Town to Johannesburg in 2006 ~ shortly after I'd seen SOAP ~ and Samuel L Jackson was on the plane, along with Kimberley Elise, Alfre Woodard and my man Carlos Santana.  :thumbup:

I have seen a few the last one I can remember though was Big Mommas House 2.

I saw Girl Interrupted on a plane and it was early into a 9 hour flight and I was on my own.

I remember not loving this film, but at one point I accidentally laughed out loud at something really inappropriate and the couple who were next to me who was also watching it, looked at me horrified.

Lets just say we didn't chat much after that. Oh well their loss.

Rev. Powell

I can't recall ever being on a flight that showed a movie I'd be interested in seeing, but sometimes I've been bored enough to watch it anyway.  A lot of my least favorite movies ever I only watched because I was on a plane.

MUST LIKE DOGS (ouch!)
That one with Ed O'Neill where he coaches the pee-wee football league, terrible
The CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY remake

Probably some others that were totally forgettable...

The Burgomaster

Oh, yeah.  Another one is WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING.
