What it does
`Seatback Cinema` is a dataset of the in-flight film catalogs of 11 airlines (Emirates, Cathay Pacific, American, British Airways, United, KLM, Lufthansa, Singapore, Qantas, ANA, JAL) with every film matched to IMDb, plus the `inflight-movie-picker` skill. The README states 7,331 films, 6,862 of them with an IMDb id (October 2026 data). The agent asks for the airline, flight length, who is watching and the mood, then gives three films and a backup for a long-haul flight, one or two under 110 minutes for a short one and family titles only when kids are watching. Each pick carries an IMDb link. An IMDb or Letterboxd export can supply taste. The skill reads the catalog through the `seatback.len5ky.com` API, with a dependency-free script and a connector for the Claude app.
Who it is for. Long-haul passengers who want to know beforehand what is worth watching in their airline's catalog.
Good fit when
- Before an Emirates flight you pick which films from the month's catalog to watch
- A list for a short flight, one or two films under 110 minutes
- Kids are on board and family films from the catalog are needed
- Taste is set with an IMDb or Letterboxd ratings export
Not a fit when
- You need the catalog of an airline outside the 11
- You have no network access, since the skill reads data through an API
- You want films from streaming services rather than the in-flight catalog
Example request
What should I watch on my 14-hour Emirates flight? Use this month's catalog, take my Letterboxd export into account and give three films and a backup.Limitations
The data covers October 2026 and 11 airlines. The share matched to IMDb varies, from 87.2% for Qantas to 97.0% for Lufthansa. Unmatched and low-confidence films are excluded from picks. The skill reads the catalog from `seatback.len5ky.com`, so Claude Code without network tools needs the separate `skill/inflight-movie-picker` variant with a local script on Bun, Node 22.6 or Deno. Catalogs change monthly, and the list on your flight may differ.
How to disable. In Claude Code run `/plugin uninstall seatback-cinema`. In the Claude app remove the plugin in settings. Downloaded tables stay with you.
FAQ
How do I install it in Claude Code?
With `/plugin install seatback-cinema --marketplace len5ky/seatback-cinema`; the plugin brings the connector. For Codex and Cursor run `npx skills add len5ky/seatback-cinema`.
Which airlines are covered?
Emirates, Cathay Pacific, American Airlines, British Airways, United, KLM, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Qantas, ANA and Japan Airlines.
How does it use taste?
It reads an IMDb or Letterboxd export. Without one it asks for five loved films and two hated ones, then ranks the catalog.
Does it work in the Claude app?
Yes on paid plans: in Customize add the `len5ky/seatback-cinema` marketplace and install the plugin. For plans without plugins there is a skill ZIP.
Can I use it without an agent?
Yes, the project's own CLI prints a table of picks: `bun run cli picks --airline emirates --min-year 2025 --top 3`.
