The Big Picture In-flight entertainment is slowly but surely on its way out, with people opting to download and watch their own movie selections on their own devices. Major U.S. airlines like American Airlines, United Airlines, and Alaska Air have already removed seatback screens from their aircraft, and the benefits of doing so — less maintenance, thinner seats, and lighter planes, among others — are evidence that most other airlines will follow suit if they haven't already done so.

The In-Flight Movie Goes From Novelty to Universal Success Close The Lost World's debut in the sky went off without a hitch but certainly had the potential to be disastrous. Literally. The plane was a converted WWI bomber, the Handley-Page O 400, made of wood and lined with fabric. Not a problem normally, but since film stock of the period was made of nitrate — highly flammable nitrate — it wouldn't have taken much for the film to go up in flames, taking the plane and passengers with it.
