I don't think the airlines will be playing Flight 93 or Flightplan in the near or far future.

<i>Flightplan</i> was on during the month of March on LAN Chile.

I was surprised to see Flightplan on the Virgin Atlantic video system a couple weeks ago as well. I always flash back to Airplane! where they're watching a movie with an airplane crashing. Classic.

What are the odds of catching &quot;Snakes on a Plane&quot; on my next transatlantic?

Fear of snakes, so I hope I won't be forced to watch that one....

I don't want to see any problems with any airplanes during my flight.

Not a movie, but....United has XM Satellite radio (actually recorded versions of...) on its planes now. On a flight to Hawaii a few weeks ago, I decided to save the battery on my Ipod and try it out - until I realized that I was listening to Tom Petty's <i>Free Fallin'</i> at 35,000 feet over the Pacific.

Won't see <i>When Do We Eat?</i>

Movies you probably will see in flight: <i>Titanic</i> and <i>Poseidon</i>

I saw <i>Memoirs of a Geisha</i> on a flight to Japan recently. Other appropriate flight/movie combos:

On most Delta flights: <i>ATL</i>

On flights from NYC to SFO: <i>Transamerica</i>
(because it is a cross-country flight, or maybe because Transamerica is HQ'd in San Francisco, or some other reason)

They actually were showing &quot;Poseidon Adventure&quot; (the first one) during an incredibly turbulent flight over the ocean. There wasn't enough dramamine in the world to deal with that one....

What about &quot;Airplane,&quot; with Leslie Neilson?? That's my all-time favorite airplane movie.
