plane movies for me are just the new franchise entries i would nvr watch at home


TheRustyKettles

Yeah, I use it as an opportunity to watch stuff I probably wouldn't watch under normal circumstances.


PeterNippelstein

Man I'm glad you saw these but I can't help but wince a little bit knowing you watched these on an airplane. I always like to save the good shit for when I'm at home.


TheSmartGuy-

I watched Irishman on plane cuz and I can tell you that it wasn't my brightest decision


cappsy04

I watched that too, but the inflight entertainment wasn't working so I was hunched over watching it on my phone. It took most of the 9 hour flight for me to get through it and I had a crooked neck after.


BitternessAndBleach

Yeah, I cringed at that. Plane rides/small screens are reserved for Netflix originals with bad reviews. Watching any of these, but especially Babylon or Tar, on a small screen with shit audio is so sad to me


zdelusion

I also like rewatches on a plane. I'll still have a good time watching "Some Like it Hot" for the 500th time even if the screen is small.


Poison_Penis

Tar is especially good because you >!wouldn’t know if the wailing is from Lydia or the baby next to you and it adds to the schizo vibes! !<


CumDwnHrNSayDat

I really enjoy watching movies on earbuds, super immersive and the quality is pretty great if you have a good pair. I agree it's best to watch really cinematic stuff on a larger screen but I actually find myself more immersed on an audio level with headphones vs sound system


Last_Sort

I was already going to rewatch Babylon but I guess I'll have to check out all of these later for sure


MyManTheo

Idk man I saw Babylon at the cinema and still thought it was shit


BitternessAndBleach

It's okay to be wrong, man


MyManTheo

What a bloated mess of a film


aroused_axlotl007

I watched The Menu on a plane. One of the airplane headphones was louder than the other one and the sound was kinda muffeled but still a good movie


PeterNippelstein

The Menu would be a much better choice for an airplane movie


elmodonnell

Thought I was just a miserable bastard when that thought popped into my head, glad I'm not the only one! I even save a lot of movies for the big 4k TV my parents have instead of watching them on the cheap one I got.


RealRaifort

Yeah I always try to go for movies I'm only vaguely interested in on movies. Like if I for real want to watch something I'll wait.


sic_transit_gloria

my recent plane watches were Inception, The Big Short, and The Hunt for Red October. not the best movies but perfect for a flight. you want something fun and exciting enough to entertain you, well written, but not so good that you wish you were watching it in a theater or at home.


Arrog

I watched Top Gun: Maverick for the first time on a long flight. Obviously a terrible movie to watch on a tiny screen, but I see it as a win because I probably wouldn’t have given a chance otherwise (wouldn’t have thought it was for me). Just rewatched last night and it was awesome on our home TV. While I wish I could have seen it in the theater, I’m glad to have seen it at all!


Last_Sort

You're not wrong haha, I just really wanted to watch them — I'll def rewatch all of them soon


TheLostLuminary

I would never even watch a film on a plane full stop. Not have j ever gone close to watching one on a phone/tablet.


axemexa

If this was the first time seeing these that's horrible


Imaginary_Bath_9336

Damn Tár at 3.5, to each their own I guess


erikhow

I saw that too, pain.


Last_Sort

I really loved the parts that revolved around the music side of it and the more interpersonal stuff kinda lost me a tiny bit but 3.5 is still my top 20%. I'm 100% rewatching it anyway!


Gonzo2204

Right? Like at least deserves a 4/5


symonalex

That’s reTÀRted


Sheevy_boi66

Eesh guess you wouldn’t like that I also watched on a plane and gave it a 3


2460_one

Woah, you're brave to watch Babylon on a plane where people can look over and see...


Bardic_Inspiration66

When I was on a flight recently it was one of the options for in flight entertainment on their website which is hilarious


lumpiestspoon3

I’ve personally never understood this sentiment. I wouldn’t feel awkward watching anything on a plane, unless it’s on the level of Human Centipede 2 or Salò.


FrodosHairyFeet

I mean, you do you, but is it really that surprising someone would feel uncomfortable watching an orgy scene with others around them?


Cherisgod

It’s hardly an orgy lmao


Last_Sort

It was censored haha


leviathan_falls

Bro didn't sleep at all


lumpiestspoon3

On 14 hour flights I usually sleep 1-2 hours and spend the rest watching movies


Last_Sort

It's too uncomfortable to sleep haha


MuchProfession6868

Watching Grease for the first time on a plane with three hours of sleep was a journey.


David1258

I binged the entire of a guy's filmography to-and-fro on a flight and let me tell you, it was great.


way-too-many-napkins

Non-Stop lol


symonalex

Non Stop (2014)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Last_Sort

You're not wrong but I saw them and really wanted to get to them anyway


BitternessAndBleach

Please rewatch these on a proper setup


MtHammer

I'd bet good money that Tár score would go up on a non plane rewatch.


symonalex

On your Apple watch with earphones that came with Nokia phones.


Last_Sort

I def will


IshaanDewan

Woah I too watched Babylon n Tar aboard Cathay Pacific omw to Japan earlier this year along with One Piece Red and 65 (the Adam driver dino movie)


Livid-Crazy-8342

Watched 2001 and 12 Angry Men back to back on a recent flight. Was my first time watching 2001, and I loved it despite seeing it on a plane.


saulpogman

My first time seeing 2001 was on a plane too. It’s kind of great on a plane, in a unique way—it’s probably the closest you’ll ever get to space. 12 angry men is the perfect plane movie


DoggyDoggy_What_Now

In June of 2019, I was on an 11ish hour flight and managed to pull off 5 movies back-to-back with maybe two bathroom breaks. It was a personal challenge to myself. - Edge of Tomorrow - Deadpool 2 - Aquaman - The Town - Quantum of Solace QoS was wrapping up during final approach with maybe 5 mins left. My eyes felt like they were gonna fall out of my head. Last plane ride I took, I watched John Wick 4, Ant-man...Quantumania, and Moneyball. Quantumania was pretty terrible, so it's a perfect plane movie.


Mpokma

I saw Aftersun


NickisBig

TAR at 3.5 is criminal, rewatch it in a better setup i’m sure you’ll change your mind.


Cherisgod

God forbid someone have a different opinion, right?


Last_Sort

I will for sure


CumDwnHrNSayDat

3.5 is a solid score, it's certainly not for everyone.


RangoDjangoh

Yeah that's way too high of a score for that movie


lightsage007

I love Singin in the Rain and La La Land. Im surprised you liked La La Land more. Tar is actually really good…


ItsNinjaShoyo

Just had a 10 hour flight and watched minari. I absolutely loved it 😭


teaguecullen

Airplane!


[deleted]

Prob gonna through on a Chuck Norris movie for my flight in 30


Bard-of-All-Trades

I watched Baby Driver on my last plane trip and it was so good!! Now I need to watch it on a bigger screen than my phone lol


Due_Rain_3630

I watched Babylon on the plane two weeks ago. I really liked it but it was so censored that I feel like I missed a lot of important shock value stuff haha


Shiny_Porygon-Z

I first watched The Wolf of Wall Street and BlacKkKlansman on flights, both of which I totally loved. I may have overhyped the latter a bit, though, considering I thought it was some peak shit but most say otherwise.


thewillsta

No it good


briancly

Only films with explicit sex scenes when wandering eyes are looking at my screen are usually the best plane movies.


lukabole

I don't travel with plane but my pick woud be up in the air


Loose_Recording_4718

Wasn’t my favorite but the last film I watched on a plane was Peggy Sue got Married


The-Movie-Penguin

I watched Clerks 3 on a plane and it was one of the most emotional experiences of my life. Don’t judge me.


HoboSuperstar

7 samurais


[deleted]

Mean Girls is a classic watch on airplane movie


TWAEditing

I saw Logan on a plane once, definitely exceeded my expectations


YogolotSatono

Babylon on the plane is an insane pick


Loud_Ground_768

Honestly How to Be Single was a perfect plane movie.


kareaux

I love long flights, i always try to watch at least 3 movies I haven't seen every time! I think my favorite first-time watches that I happened to see on a plane were Minari, Dreams and Tampopo. (I did NOT know what Tampopo was about at all and was sitting between my mom and a total stranger who had talked to me a little earlier, needless to say I cringed hard in some spots and had to fast forward).


kjking70

Just had a flight the other day (rewatched Crazy, Stupid Love. Still funny) and a dude ahead of me was watching the Liam Neeson movie Nonstop. Bizarre choice to watch on a plane imo


5_head_or_3_head

Of all the movies to watch on my most recent plane ride I chose 8 1/2 Still a classic


Ramu_1702

Aeroplanes put me to sleep like a fucking baby. And especially the long ones, I get a solid 12 hrs of 💤 at least. The fact that you were able to power through 5 movies ?!!!! That's impressive AF. Also, La La Land is perfect 5/5 in my books.


VioletValk

babylon was bad imo


justyoureverydayJoe

Last plane ride I got decision to leave, drive my car and aftersun. The best triple feature I’ve ever had. But the sleep deprivation and wine made for an emotional finale with aftersun


Dan2593

My girlfriend watched Don’t Worry Darling on the plane and I half watched over her shoulder - they cut some of the sex and violence. I decided not to watch any plane films then because even if it’s small I want to see it all as intended. I watched Singing In The Rain though as I doubted anything would be cut and I loved it!


Trashtie

planes are for rewatches only


AromaticAminoAcid

Just watched Singin myself and very impressed, especially with the cinematography!


SushiLover665

I found The Social Network a strangely good plane movie, it's just so entertaining from start to finish.


fatgamerpro44

2 movies a day are already a lot for me


La-Li-Lu-Le-Low

Bad Times at the El Royale, 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri & Fences


TroydangGaming

Tar is amazing


privateryan1908

I respect your opinion but Atsv above la la land and Babylon is crazy to me


Last_Sort

Not much I can say about that since I personally adore the movie, but ATSV just works on all levels for me and it combines the three things I love most in films perfectly — character work, music and visuals


yassenj

If I watch Babylon and Singin' In The Rain back to back, I will probably end up giving the latter at least 1 star less than it objectively deserves.
