Have you ever peaked over the person next to you on a flight to see what they are watching. It's always a risky move since you never know what people are into. Some people are okay with watching adult-rated movies and shows while on flights despite who could be looking over their shoulder. Plus, you don't want to binge on anything that might make you anxious during your flight.. Like the pilot episode of 'Lost' or 'Snakes on a Plane'.
If you have travel plans for the upcoming holiday, here's a list of ten popular movies perfect for in-flight viewing.
Crazy Rich Asians
First up, "Crazy Rich Asians," directed by Jon M. Chu, follows Rachel Chu, played by Constance Wu. As an economics professor, she deals with her boyfriend's wealthy family's many quirks. Set in Singapore, the movie captivates audiences with its charming visuals and intense family drama. This romantic comedy is often seen as essential airplane entertainment.

"The Intern," a film by Nancy Meyers, offers a different vibe. Robert De Niro stars as Ben Whittaker, an intern at a fashion startup run by Anne Hathaway's character, Jules Ostin. It's loved for its heartwarming tale and simplicity, making it a great flight option.
When Harry Met Sally...
Rob Reiner's "When Harry Met Sally..." remains a classic. Starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, it examines if men and women can just be friends.
