IMO, they would be much better if they were merely set up by Genre...

  1. HBO - Comedy
  2. HBO - Action
  3. HBO - Romance
  4. HBO - Drama
  5. HBO - Suspense
  6. HBO - War
  7. HBO - Western
  8. HBO - Horror
  9. HBO - Sci Fi
  10. HBO - Martial Arts
  11. HBO - Classics - all movies pre-1970
  12. HBO - Foreign
  13. HBO - Family
  14. HBO - Teen
  15. HBO - Children
  16. HBO - Sports - events, movies, and shows
  17. HBO - Specials (shows like Entourage, Flight of the Conchords, Tru Blood, etc, concerts, etc.)
Do the same for Showtime, Starz, Cinemax, etc.......

I think this would make it easier to find movies you want to watch, as well as get more for your money, if you are paying for movie channels.
 
But what if it's a Scifi-horror-martial-arts movie?

That's a great idea. I wish someone would have thought of this before.......oh wait........Starz/Encore already does this.

They do Starz East and West showing new movies. Starz Edge that shows suspense, Starz Black, Encore east and west that shows films from the 80's and 90's, Encore Love, Encore Western, Encore Mystery, Encore Drama, Encore Action and Encore WAM, which is directed at 8-16 year olds.

Too bad Encore doesn't have any "good" original series.

All those channels are obsolete now as far as I'm concerned. Demand channels are where it's at. HBO on demand, Showtime on Demand, etc etc. They always have all the latest episodes of all the best series, and are running all their current movies there as well, available to start and watch whenever you want.
