Leaving for Rome tomorrow and need suggestions for movie downloads for in flight entertainment. I'm basically looking for mindless entertainment. Also need something that I won't have to do and explaining if my 12 year old daughter happens to be looking over at my computer. Thoughts so far

Top Gun
Tombstone
Unforgiven

Snakes on a Plane?

Final Destination?

Fight Club?

Nope. How about Lord of the Rings trilogy...

Lord of the Rings or for you both, a Harry Potter marathon?

I have not followed all of the latest updates on this issue, but will you be able to bring your laptop in the cabin for the return trip?

Hot Fuzz

No devices larger than a cell phone on international flights to the US, from certain countries. That is US policy. UK has a similar one, but a different list of countries. It is being considered to expand the lists, or even ban them on all international flights. Heck, if they can put a bomb in a laptop, to my way of thinking, they should be banned on all flights, or none. A terrorist can just as easily buy a domestic ticket. Why distinguish just international flights? It is being argued that a bomb in the cabin is easier to detonate than one in the cargo hold.

At any rate, I am glad I will never fly again, for many reasons other than just this.
