I don't see any one group of movies being worth $20 extra a month...

For $5 (or more) per new movie, you might as well just rent it from Blockbuster.

Having a premium channel isn't about a rental for me, its about not having to buy the DVD really. They rotate movies all the time, sometimes I'll watch a movie that I've never heard of, and give it a chance without thinking I've spent rental time and money on a bad movie if it sucks. You could buy 4 new movies on DVD a month and it will add up to $100 a month, so you can watch them more than once. (Blockbuster is a waste)

I would add the following (some shown in HD for first time). Encore HD is always a question Mark.

So much Batman. Is it OAR? "Mask of the Phantasm" is a cool movie for those of us that were young enough to enjoy that iteration of the TV cartoon.

 

[Sean Mota]

It is Encore-HD so I guess you have to tune in. I have the DVD of Mask of Phantasm and I wouldn't mind seeing an HD transfer either.

 

[Dvlos]

The LIfe of David Gale at 3:30am? I heard this was a good movie, please tell me there's more repeats!

 

[rudolpht]

The first showing of the thing wasn't OAR or even 16:9, I think the next was at least formated for widescreen.
