It's too early for ID Resurgence, it takes around 4-6 months from DVD release for movies to appear on Sky. The big premieres over Xmas are The Jungle Book, Deadpool and Captain America Civil War. You can see the other premieres coming up here

More importantly, what classic films will be on and when are they coming?

I am getting a lot of grief from my 12 year old that Now is not showing Elf or Home Alone.  Home Alone 2 and 3 (not that that 3 matters) are there, but not the original.

PS Pleased to see Trading Places and Scrooged are there but what about Die Hard?  The ultimate Christmas movie! Yippee ki yay, Mother......

They've added Gremlins so it's officially Xmas as far as I'm concerned!

Won't even bo on DVD until January.  Odd decision, I would have thought a rush release in December would have been the smart move.

Independence Day: Resurgence

It came out on DVD/Blu-Ray a couple of weeks ago.

It did, good!  That date was from my Love Film rental list, so it is available to buy before it can be rented.

@Anonymous User Ah, sorry, I see you were linking to the Lovefilm rental release, rather than buying in the shops.

@Andy no problem.  It is available on Amazon stream for £3.45 SD/£4.45 HD.  Odd that the rental date is later, maybe just to get kids to buy it for their dads as a present.  [That is not a hint to my kids 🙂 ]
