( Movies24 certainly isn't a ' movie' channel. None of their made for tv feel good crap has been anywhere near a cinema..)

Its length and being a single entity, not a series, is what makes it a movie not whether it has been in a cinema.

The increase in made for TV movies may be more a symptom of the lack of interest in going to the cinema than the quality. Over the last couple of years my cinema visits have had audiences countable on both hands. That can't be making money. TV movies will have a guaranteed income from the likes of movies 24.

Tv 'movies' are universally dire, Movies24 output particularly so.

Bring back TCM.....

I thought that Death Train starring Pierce Brosnan and Patrick Stewart was alright.

That's TV have a licence to launch That's Cinema on satellite, presumably to cater for the former viewers of TCM.

That's DO NOT have licence to launch That's Cinema on satellite.

That's TV ask OFCOM to give them a right to reuse That's Cinema's licence for sister channel "That's 90s" last month.

If anyone is missing TCM why don't you give Talking Pictures a try on Channel 445.

What films have they got is the question? If it's anything like the tv output, it'll be downmarket UK seventies stuff. (I'd be up for that ;) )
