Has anybody in their flight history experienced an airplane movie? ex: high jacking themes, airplane disaster themes. If not, then does this mean that the airline or gov't prohibit these kind of themes, simply because there are people who cannot stand to watch them because of their acrophobia? Does any airline have regulations about what is suitable, and what isn't for the passengers?</font>
I imagine they are afraid of getting sued for stress, discomfort, heart-attack, whatever else your personal injury lawyer can come up with.

But what if I'm watching my own air disaster movie on a DVD player, and the grandma next to me happens to see it? She asks me turn it off, I refuse, can she ask the FA to make me turn it off? I probably have to comply (I think I have to comply with pretty much everything the FA says), but is such a request legal?
