Advantages: Themed seasons, unusual films

Disadvantages: Not always 'easy viewing'

I opted for this channel when I took out a digital subscription, having been enticed by the slick marketing. To be honest though, it's not my cup of tea, and I've hardly watched it, so it's been a complete waste of money for me. There always seems to be something that I'd rather watch on another film channel.

Having said that, Film Four does cater to a certain audience, and I'm sure that there are lots of people who would enjoy this service. The films shown tend not to be mainstream block buster types, but rather a more intellectual kind of cinema.

I've noticed that Film Four run regular theme seasons, where a number of films of the same genre are clustered together. This is great if you happen to be interested in that particular theme.

My advice would be to have a good look at the listings before you buy this channel. If you are a serious film buff then go for it. If you like the odd querky movie, save your money and rent a video instead.

The listings are strange, sometimes I see them and think wow- spot on, other times I look and think what a pile of pants. It does look like a great change from the same old same old that sky provide though.
