And again. In the past week, for example, the third instalment of the "High School Musical" has been shown at least 4 times (that I've counted).

Premium Review Sky Movies (508 words)

Once upon a time (before April 2007, to be precise), the Sky Movies package was great. The channels were not split up according to genre and the same movies were not shown ad nauseam; unique films ran non-stop so on any one channel you could watch 12-15 different movies in a day. Then the powers that be had a brainwave and revamped the package - the result is a mediocre product that is definitely not worth the money and that offers a very narrow range of movies that makes the local Vue multiplex edgy and adventurous by comparison. The backbone of the package (ignoring the HD frills) is made up of Movies Premiere and Movies Premiere +1 (which is ...  Read the complete review

Sky movies is a sports package offered by sky, which can be bought as a package, and then you can watch films all day long. New films are added every so often, with brilliant films constantly being added. Around 10 movie channels are in this package, and include, Sky Premier, and Sky Premier +1, with Comedy, Action, Family, Drama, Classics, Indie, Modern greats, and ScifI/Horror, all having their own dedicated channel, so there is always a film for you available. Films can be watched in HD on Premier and Sky Screen 1, however the channels are still in standard definition, however this is likely to change in the coming years, as we make the move to ...  Read the complete review

Sky Movies is another of the Sky packages that I really do enjoy very much and is certainly a package that offers much choice in the different variety of movies that it shows throughout its many different movie channels.

Sky Movies is Sky's very own collection of broadcsted movies. The main channel of the collection of around 15+ is the Sky Movies Premiere and HD channels. On Sky Movies Premiere there is around three new movies broadcast throughtout the week. Once the week is over these movies are spread throughout the other channels such as- Comedy, Action, Horror, Drama etc. Generally movies appear on Sky Movies about a year after they are released in the cinema, so there isn't that long of a wait. The movies shown on Sky Movies are as you would expect, the best there is. Such as - Harry Potter, Pixar Animated Movies, Click, etc If you ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sky Movies in general (255 words)

SKY MOVIES comprises all of the Sky movie channels broadcast on the Sky Digital satellite television system in the UK. Together these are known as the 'Movies Mix' and need to be subscribed to collectively, the viewer cannot subscribe to them as individual channels. The price of subscription differs depending on the complete package you receive, but personally I receive the 'Movies Mix' and the 'Variety Mix' and pay £34 each month, although the 'Variety Mix' alone would cost £16 per month. I am therefore paying £18 per month for the privilege of receiving the Sky Movies package. The 'Movies Mix' consists of a variety of channels, including those devoted to ...  Read the complete review
