Sky Movies

As the sky movie package is included amongst the rest of my sky subscription it's hard for me to say exactly how much it costs per month at the moment but I definitely feel it offers value for money and when I first subscribed it was no different to visiting the cinema or renting a film once a week. Of course, the difference between taking a sky movie subscription and regularly renting a film or visiting the cinema (with exception of the large screen, loud speakers and ever increasing cost at a cinema) is that you are always restricted to watching what is available on their broadcast schedule ... more

Sky Movies include a huge range of movies for all ages and that is a fact. They have many different channels to show different films at different start times so that you can watch the film when it convienient for you. Premier's are quick to make it to Sky movies.

Just lately though we are considering unsubscribing due to that fact that there is very little variety now, there isn't much variation in the times they are shown either. We have small children so we have to wait until they're in bed to watch films rated above PG ... more

Thre truely is something for everyone out there, but don't be fooled - it's not this good all year round. Don't get me wrong, there are always great films showing on these channels, but for the main of the year, we average about one premiere a week (on a Saturday night) which is then repeated to death across all nine channels, although the classic movies channels will usually have something of interest .
