Had this happen far too often on AA, most recently on a JFK-BNA where the crew were militantly taking almost full drinks off people, preparing the cabin for landing, lights off etc before disappearing down the back. A full 30 minutes later, the captain switched on the seatbelt sign and made the announcement we'd be landing in 20 minutes.
