I flew from Malaysia to the UK in 99 and they forgot to load any films but one had been left behind. The 1998 Kris Kristofferson "classic" Dance With Me. They played it four or five times. That it was on one of those drop down screens and the projector was ideal as it meant I couldn't really see it.

Also... anyone else remember the strange headphones which were just tubes? Or is that some sort of fever dream?

Like stethoscopes. They were real.

Thank fuck... I was starting to doubt my sanity (but clearly didnt bother to google anything). A bit of a google after your link says Delta stopped using them in 2003 despite their planes being capable of electronic headphones since '82.
