Film4, as the title suggests, is Channel Fours film channel, playing films pretty much all day long. Most of the films are older and well known and often delivered in weekly and monthly themes, like crime, war or comedy etc. At the moment it's the Eddie Murphy season (what happened to his career!). They do have newer films on although they tend to be foreign. They like to stick to the classics at prime time and also a good section of younger adults stuff around teatime. Don't expect the newest titles though, this not Sky movies showing off territory. Like More4, they also do great documentaries in their mix and one such film is 'General Butt Naked', an extraordinary ...  Read the complete review

Film4 is a freeview channel owned and operated by channel 4 that, surprisingly enough, shows films. Hence the name I guess. Now, considering you have to pay for most movie channels, it's nice to know that channel is showing movies for free. While admittedly the daytime programming is a little dated for my personal taste, and tends to be a little repetitive .I've lost count of the times I've checked whats on in the daytime to see 'Fanny by Gaslight' in the listings, and whilst the film might be a classic of it's age, it does get a little boring to see it there almost every afternoon. However, in the evenings they do do pretty well in my opinion ...  Read the complete review

Film4 is simply a brillant TV channel, and one that I think far outdoes Sky's film channels. It became free a few years ago, and although this means you'll have to sit through adverts during your films, this isn't a problem with Sky+, for you can just start watching the film 15 minutes later and by the time the film ends, you'll be caught up with the live stream! Film4 prides itself not on filling its schedule with the latest from Hollywood, but rather providing a more eclectic and intellectually stimulating selection of films. As a film buff that sees virtually every Hollywood release, Film4 is a Godsend in ensuring that I don't miss any arthouse releases ...  Read the complete review

Film 4 is a free British TV channel, showing films (no real surprise there!) and is found on channel 300 when using freesat, but is also available on freeview and sky. The channel is owned and operated by Channel 4, and so is its partern channel Film 4+1, which shows programs on Film 4 one hour later. What sort of films are shown? The range of films shown is increasingly varied and depends on the time of year and time of day. The films could be 20 years old, but increasingly films are shown from 2004, 2005. The films shown later appeal to older audiences, however those shown during the day (normally the channel commences broadcasting at 12 noon) are not ...  Read the complete review

Film 4 is a channel which currently shows on Freeview and cable television. As the name states, this is a channel that provides films for viewers to watch. I often enjoy the late night movies that this channel offers, and often have some great films, but during the days, I am not really impressed with the choice of films. I often find that during the days, they play old fashioned films that my grandparents probably would have watched, but from late afternoon onwards, the film selection usually improves a bit and there is a greater variety. With the competition of other channels and their films, I would expect this channel to possibly play more recent films, but ...  Read the complete review
