SBS Wprld Mpvies has plenty of American films lately - like Lost in Translation, several “War movies” and “Gangster films”, and that seems to be “okay”, but this forum goes into a small meltdown when an American “comedy” called The Flintstones airs.
Noone raises an eyelid when films like The Blues Brohers and Rare Exports air on NITV. But we only complain for The Flintstones on World movies? Hmmmm
Well i’m only complaining because it was on two months ago. There are thousands of American films that i never see on tv anymore that they could show.
That is fair enough. Sorry for that little dig (i complain alot myself! Lol).
Yes, they should be showing more American films. Preferably away from the mainstream U.S. films too.
Yes, some independent American movies, fine. But not mainstream films. The rule of thumb should be, if it would be screened on 7, 9 or 10, it’s a no go.
According to TV Tonight, these titles are coming to SBS World Movies in the future: Parasite, After Love, T2 Trainspotting, Booksmart, The Family, David Brent: Life on the Road, Tove, Resistance, Riders of Justice, Summer Of ’85.
The channel will celebrate Lunar New Year by airing a selection of Asian movies from this Sunday. Some are Australian TV premieres.

oooookay?
I’m assuming he was pointing to the film’s subject matter and resulting classifications, of which yes, SBS will almost certainly modify for broadcast (and OnDemand) if the recent Nymphomaniac Vol I and II discussion and confirmations upon checking is anything to go by.
But still so random and I’m random 
Expect it to be edited for TV if its R rated.

SBS World Movies is showing encores of drama series Erotic Stories tonight. I thought the channel is exclusively for movies?
Pretty much 99% movies, but a couple of things do sneak in every now and then.
eg old eps of the Movie Show have been found on there.
Erotic stories being an anthology, could be argued they’re mini movies 
In the printed guides, it had “Quo Vadis Aida” (from Bosnia) listed for tonight. It’s not often that this channel makes “last minute decisions” (as such) to get rid of a movie scheduled. Rights ran out, perhaps?
The Movie Show has appeared before, but usually during the daytime to fill in a gap. First time that a non-movie has aired in primetime though?
