The French Movie 'The Intouchables' is great. Surprised at the lack of quality in the world movie section. Plenty out there.


@Anonymous User You can't beat World Cinema in my opinion. 😉

I am quite partial for K drama and J drama myself. 🙂

Wednesdays are the day that the Cinema Pass add a world cinema film as their premiere for the day (today's is Operation Chromite). Admittedly it’s not a huge selection but hopefully with those regular additions over time it will grow. For horror fans there’s been some good world cinema additions lately - When Animals Dream, Alena, Cub, Evolution spring to mind.

 

I’m also a big Asian horror fan and admittedly the selection of that on any of the major streaming services isn’t great, Amazon’s probably slightly better but not by much. That’s where good old DVDs and Blu-rays still come out on top for me.

@Andy I never realised there were "themes" for specific days. 😮

@caseyb1993 Ah alas I don't think there is. I just know that when Sky Movies changed to Sky Cinema they introduced the world cinema premiere each Wednesday to try and encourage more world cinema fans. Better than nothing!

The Girl With All The Gifts was a cracking watch, a zombie (strictly speaking they are infected by a fungus but you get the idea!) film where hybrid children could be the answer to a cure and are being held in secret military facilities for experimentation ... naturally things don't go to plan. Superb acting from all concerned especially the young Sennia Nanua playing Melanie and Glenn Close as a less than benevolent scientist. Plenty of tension and everything moves along at a pace, with some great deserted post-outbreak scenes around London, think 28 Days Later meets Day of the Triffids.

Hi there! My first post here on the Now TV forum! Yay! It's nice to meet everyone! Smiley Happy

 

I was just wondering if it was at all possible to maybe get some Japanese anime movies added to the Sky Cinema Pass line-up with their English subtitles at some point? English subtitled anime movies such as the Studio Ghibli ones (Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Ponyo, etc), A Silent Voice, Your Name, Akira, Perfect Blue, Vexille etc? Smiley Wink

Welcome @Anonymous User! It is always nice to meet another anime fan! 🙂

 

You can't beat Studio Ghibli can you? "Only Yesterday" is my abolute favourite S.G movie. At the moment, I don't think NOWTV are adding anime movies as I have been begging for them myself. 😄

 

Viceland on the entertainment pass currently have some (dubbed) anime which is a great start so we may get some anime movies one day. 😉

 

I will tag my good forum pal @Andy who is getting into anime himself. 😉

@Anonymous User Welcome to the forum! Hey we like anime around here! Well, some of us do anyway! Would be great to see some anime movies on here, I'll be honest though I can't remember seeing much if anything in the past. Basically the NOW TV pass mirrors Sky Cinema so if they get it we should get it. If you have the entertainment pass there some anime from the Viceland channel - Cowboy Bebop and Tokyo Ghoul (just watching that myself!) 

 

Theres also a dedicated anime topic over in the Off Topic section, feel free to join in with our resident forum expert @caseyb1993 😉
