I just checked too.... that is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS 
And I thought it was impossible for them to get any cheaper on their IFE... now I have to stand corrected

I'm pretty sure those are from May 2006. I took a trip to SYD on my days off, and remember watching 2 of those.
If that *were* the list... wow. Some *serious* cost-cutting going on!

Whoa! I just looked at the website too, and that sure is what it says!
Um...maybe this is a mistake? I distinctly remember seeing some of those movies!!
If not, I'm so sorry, guys.

Looks like only Chinese language section is correct:
United States to Hong Kong / Shanghai / Beijing
Arthur and the Invisibles J/C
Catch and Release J/C/K
Children of Men C
Freedom Writers J/C/K
Letters From Iwo Jima J
Music and Lyrics J/C/K
The Pursuit of Happyness C/K
Hong Kong / Shanghai / Beijing to United States
Because I Said So J/C/K
Bridge to Terabithia J/C
The Holiday J/C/K
Miss Potter J/C/K
Norbit C/K
The Painted Veil C/K
Pan's Labyrinth S
These are all fairly recent releases - and even a couple of good ones in there

On today's NRT-SFO we had Freedom Writers, Night at the Museum, Casino Royale. Didn't watch any but they were obvious do spot ... so the website must be in error.

I noticed in the list that the 4 domestic movies for May do not appear in the international flights, as they do every month. I'd agree this has to be some sort of foul up.

Next month, it'll be nothing but black and white movies. With the obligatory 5-10 minutes of fuzzy images and noise at the beginning.

Where would the May movies for FCO-IAD be listed? Same as France? (I'll be on it May 8th, seat 15B.)
