Additionally there is the issue of how to present and allow the user to select 100's of selections. Especially if you assume for an expanded movie selection you would have an expanded TV selections and music selections.

Of course a paid system, might be more extensive but I prefer the system stays free.
I'm not a classical movies buff but was just pointing out some IMO good movies from the AFA top 100. Also I am guessing the licensing fees are lower (non-existent?) for older movies.

I too like to watch new releases, but not just for the sake of them being a new release - if it's no good I'd rather flick on say casablanca and 'play it again'.

I'm also against a paid system, particularly as I have everything I want on storage next to me

Also it would be nice to be able to hook up to those big screens in F/J on many international and PS flights.
