Trip
You’ve been planning your dream trip for months, researching everything from the best time to visit to where to stay. But there’s one last detail to plan: what to watch on the plane. Here’s how to pick the perfect movie for your trip.
Whether you’re flying for business or pleasure, there’s nothing like kicking back with a good movie to make the time pass more quickly. But with so many movies to choose from these days, it can be tough to decide which one is right for you. Here are a few factors to consider when picking the perfect movie for your trip.
Length: If you’re only flying for a couple of hours, you don’t want to start a three-hour movie only to have it end as you’re taxiing to the gate. On the other hand, if you’ve got a long flight ahead of you, you might want something that will last the whole trip.
Genre: Are you in the mood for a light comedy or a heart-pounding thriller? If you’re not sure what you’re in the mood for, check out the Critics’ Picks section on Rotten Tomatoes for some suggestions.
Cast: Do you have a favorite actor or actress that you just have to see in a movie? If so, narrow your search to movies that feature them.
Synopsis: Don’t have time to read a full movie description? Just check out the one-sentence synopsis on Rotten Tomatoes. It’ll give you a good idea of what the movie is about without giving too much away.
Once you’ve considered all of these factors, it’s time to make your selection. To help you out, we’ve gathered a list of the best movies to watch on a plane, no matter what kind of trip you’re taking.
For a quick trip:
-The Lion King: This beloved Disney classic is the perfect length for a short flight, and it’s sure to put a smile on your face.
-Sicario: If you’re looking for a gripping thriller that won’t take up too much of your time, Sicario is a great choice. Just be warned, it’s a little intense.
For a longer trip:
-The Godfather: This timeless Mafia classic is the perfect movie to settle in with for a long flight. It’s long, but it’s so engrossing that you won’t even notice the time passing.
-The Lord of the Rings: Trilogy: If you’ve got a lengthy trip ahead of you, why not kill two birds with one stone and watch all three Lord of the Rings movies? You’ll be entertained for hours, and you can check one more thing off your bucket list.
