These days, it’s all about the little things in first class. As airlines compete to woo business and leisure travelers, they’re adding more than just room to their first class and business class cabins. Entertainment is the name of the game, and most of the major airlines are providing first class and business class travelers with a range of in-seat entertainment options. So, which airline offers the best first class cabin for the movie buffs out there? I thought we’d start by focusing on two major international carriers, American Airlines and British Airways. Let’s take a look at what’s playing at a first class/business class cabin near you…

Here’s a sample of some of the movies AA and BA are offering to business class and first class travelers on select flights this month. I’ve included quick review (supplied by the airlines), so you can make an informed decision if you should choose a first class or business class flight solely based on the film offerings.
