Every KLM long-haul flight comes with a seat-back screen, and the film selection on board changes every month. This page tracks the current KLM inflight entertainment catalogue and ranks it by what critics actually thought — Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores for each title, so you can pick before you board rather than scrolling a menu at 38,000 feet. Below are the 50 best-reviewed movies available on KLM in September 2026, newest catalogue first. The full list of films on board runs to several hundred titles across drama, comedy, action, documentary, animation and international cinema; these are the ones worth your flight time.
Yes. Every KLM intercontinental route — North America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America and the Caribbean — is flown by a long-haul widebody, and KLM's Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 fleets have a seat-back entertainment screen at every seat. The film catalogue is the same in every cabin; only the screen size differs.
The list above is KLM's catalogue for the month selected at the top of this page, ranked by critic score, with Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and IMDb ratings on every title. KLM refreshes the selection at the start of each month, and you can also browse the current titles on KLM's own portal at entertainment.klm.com. Films can vary by flight, so treat the list as the month's catalogue rather than a guarantee for one specific aircraft.
On long-haul, yes — a personal seat-back touchscreen at every seat, on both the Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 fleets. On European and other short-haul routes, no: KLM stated in January 2026 that its European fleet does not have in-seat entertainment screens, which is why it made Wi-Fi free on those flights instead. On short-haul you need your own device, ideally with something downloaded before you board.
Monthly. KLM rotates the catalogue at the start of each calendar month: some titles cycle out, others stay for several months, and new releases typically appear 6–12 weeks after their cinema run ends. inflight.guide re-imports the whole catalogue every month and tags each film with the month it is available in, which is what the month buttons at the top of this page switch between — so you can check next month's line-up as soon as KLM publishes it.
No — film is only part of it. Alongside the films, KLM's August 2026 catalogue carries around 140 TV series (roughly 436 episodes, including a dedicated HBO Max section), about 1,400 audio items split between albums, curated playlists, podcasts and audiobooks, and 23 games including Tetris, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Bejeweled. There is a separate Kids hub with its own films, music, games and both English and Dutch children's TV and story sections, plus an interactive 3D moving map. Audio is wired: KLM provides complimentary headphones on long-haul and the seat has a 3.5mm jack, but the system has no native Bluetooth, so bring a Bluetooth transmitter if you want wireless. inflight.guide tracks the film catalogue only.
There is no KLM entertainment app, so there is no offline option through KLM itself. On board you reach the Wi-Fi portal at connect.klm.com, where KLM's messaging tier is free and its Surf and Streaming passes are paid; since January 2026 Flying Blue members also get free Wi-Fi on European flights. You can browse the current catalogue on the ground at entertainment.klm.com before you fly, which is the easiest way to plan. Wi-Fi availability is aircraft-specific and not guaranteed, so download something from Netflix, Disney+ or a similar service before you board as a backup.
