1,055 Minutes-Emirates, Dubai-Panama

It's up to Winging It to find a movie list for the "Trip". You may be riding from Dubai to Panama for 13,831 km, for those living south of USA’s North Border, it's about 8,594 miles for the Emirates 777-200-LR. This requires using a thumb drive feature for plugging into any portable or fixed screen device in a seat near you. Allow time for taking “amenity breaks” on the flight, a person should consider one movie every two hours while setting aside time for your own special 10 minute breaks between movies. The length of a thumb drive movie should only be consume about 110 minutes out of 120 minutes. The number of movies will be be constrained to a total 1,000 minutes before arriving in Panama from Dubai.

Recommendation: Before a trip build a movie library. Do a thumb drive download of your movies (buy a thumb drive containing a least a terabyte of data room). Ready to plug and play?

Franchise Movies are best for doing thumb-drive downloads, it saves time searching for individual movies when making multiple choices if searching for multiple actors or genre is too time consuming. Keeping it thematic is efficient method for long flights, while it entertains over the long haul it provides having story continuity with your favorite stars following through a grand story to its completion:

This is a guy list naturally. Sorry Ladies, call this a demonstration on building a list using movie themes on a flight lasting for 17 hrs and 35 minutes going to Panama. The beauty of it all, pick a movie that will put you asleep during the trip. A Disney Movie (Polly Anna) works best for for me. A Cary Grant film fest is enjoyable, as he is a mainstay for everybody. K.I.S.S. for the 1,000 minute ride gives self indulgent entertainment.
