IMHO, video on demand has been the biggest innovation in passenger comfort that airlines have introduced since I've started travelling. Yes, its even more significant than the almost flat SpaceBeds Singapore Airlines touts - or noise cancelling headphones - two of my other favourites!
Being able to choose what movie (from 25+ movies instead of the typical 8-10 channels!), when to start, and being able to pause, rewind and fast-forward dramatically change the in-flight experience. I can now watch a movie, doze off in the middle, wake up - continue where I left off, and then doze off again after the movie finishes. The conventional systems work more like TV - if you doze off in the middle - you have to wait till the next cycle starts, and it's often 90 minutes before you get to the point you dozed off at! Big difference!
I've watched Bad Boys 2, 2 Fast and 2 Furious, Hollywood Homicide, Terminator 3 and part of a Hong Kong flick - Truth or Dare already, and I expect I'll get through a couple of episodes of Friends by the time we land!
