Totally agree.
I've noticed that the majority of posters in this thread either have V+, TiVo or SKY+. If people take time out, and review the week ahead on free to air TV, they can record plenty of quality films which will certainly surpass the content on Picturebox and will really give Lovefilm and Netflix a run for their money. I don't understand why people would pay to watch movies that are no better than those offered on free to view TV. I can understand about TV boxsets on Lovefilm and Netflix but not the limited selection of movies.

That's a list of 70 films not including all the old black and white movies I've left off the list. The majority of the above films are also available in HD. Over the 7 days that's on average 10 decent films per day. Over a month you're looking at almost 300.
