Panasonic DVD-LS5 Portable DVD Player
Recommended
I'm not much of an electronics wiz/enthusiast but I really love this machine.  I do lots of travel by train and air and this device has been my constant companion for the past three months.  I find I don't have much of a chance to watch the movies I want to watch at home (4 kids ages 2-15 tend to keep you busy) so investing in a portable DVD player was a must if I was ever going to see a real movie again.  The picture quality is quite good, I'd recommend buying a good pair of headphones (good sound quality and comfortable!) since you'll need it if you're out in public.
