Jun 17, 2024 · Mamma Mia. According to staff writer Danielle Cohen, “Plane movies should involve an element of lifestyle porn to distract you from the ickiness of your current environs. With Mamma Mia, that escape can be a fictional Greek island where the most dramatic wedding of all time is unfolding to the soothing bops of ABBA.

In this film, Ray Liotta stars as a convicted murderer who hijacks a plane. It's a pretty typical airplane action movie with all the tropes in place, which is probably why the movie has a whopping 16 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. There's lots of acting that really chews at the scenery and some interesting (though mostly implausible) technical airplan...
Liam Neeson stars as an alcoholic U.S. Marshal who must find a killer after receiving text messages that another passenger will die if the killer's demands are not met. It's one of those action thrillers viewers have come to expect from the "Taken" star, and if you're willing to get around the loose ends and glaring implausibilities, you'll definit...
Back in the early 2000s, Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in a number of odd, screwball romantic comedies. In this film, Paltrow stars as a trailer park girl who dreams of being a classy flight attendant— and she has the brains and drive to achieve it. Is all that personal success worth sacrificing for a young Mark Ruffalo? We're not sure. But this movie h...
This movie may not have won any prestigious awards, but it's become something of a cult classic, if only for the famous line, "Put the bunny back in the box." The script is sometimes quite hard to listen to, and Nicolas Cage has a very tough time nailing down that Alabama accent, but with all of its entertainingly over-the-top performances and expl...
Let's just say this is not a movie you want to watch on an airplane. As a society, we might've been worn out by the teen horror flicks of the '90s, but this 2000 film actually has quite a surprising and clever premise that goes beyond the typical slasher movie. While it may not have gotten great reviews at the time, audiences still enjoy it, earnin...
This cult favorite stars Wesley Snipes as John Cutter who’s on a flight to L.A. to start his new life working for a major airline’s anti-terrorism unit when, fittingly, the flight is hijacked by a famous terrorist. When the FBI agents who apprehended the movie's villain are killed, Cutter is the only person onboard who can save everyone. It's a cla...
This 2005 suspense movie centers around an aircraft designer (played by Jodie Foster) who's daughter randomly goes missing on a flight to New York. The twist? The sky marshal (Peter Sarsgaard) and captain (Sean Bean) on board are telling her that her child never boarded the plane. It's one of those few, amazing female-led suspense movies, because, ...
If you're in the mood for a charming romantic comedy, you can't go wrong with Tom Hanks. This movie is a typical feel-good film and a ringing endorsement for John F. Kennedy International Airport. Who knew someone could feasibly live there? Hanks plays a displaced Eastern European man who has to wait at JFK until the war in his home country is over...
Again, this is definitely not something to watch while traveling at 36,000 feet. The cast is full of your early '90s crushes — including Ethan Hawke and Josh Hamilton — who are playing what is likely some of the darkest roles in their careers. It centers around a Uruguayan soccer team that gets stranded in the Andes after a plane crash, and it's al...
This film came out five years after the tragedy of 9/11. The film is about the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 who crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. Performances by the entire cast, which is largely made up of relatively unknown actors, are nuanced, unsentimental, and incredibly emotional — though the ...
