  Puzzle films about time, memory and identity, all under two hours. Honest notes on how confusing and how intense each one is.

• Tense movies set on planes, with no horror

  Thrillers and dramas set in the air or around a flight, with no supernatural horror. Runtimes and intensity for each.

• Movies for a group that never agrees
