Studio CX - Movie/Programming Selection.

Hi,

I am just looking at the CX website, at the onboard entertainment section.

Some good movies that I want to see are listed for October, so I know there will be at least 3 I wish to watch.

I am curious though. In terms of choice, is there just what is listed for each month? Or, is there a "back catalogue" of older films to watch too? Same question but for other Drama/Comedy/Documentaries etc...

Thanks for any comments.

Regards,

BBB

I always find that CX only puts on a select few options on their website. Their "Recent Hits" and back catalogue are significantly larger than stated on their site. For example most of their new releases from the previous month, if not still on the new releases menu, will be transferred to the recent hits catalogue.

Lovely, thank you. I was hoping to hear that. I have a couple of long sectors coming up and was worried 3 films would not keep me going...

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.
If u haven't used studiocx before you will be quite amazed at the selection. It is a lot broader than highlife and even if the movie u want is unavailable there are so many TV and alternate choices. Enjoy your trip!

If you are on a regional aircraft unfortunately you only get videos on a loop, but long haul video on demand is amazing.

I believe BBB also has some sectors within asia which may or may not be on long haul aircraft.

Thanks for the replies you two...

I start my trip this coming Sunday, although the first part of it involves a rather large ship... So Cathay does not kick into it till the following week.

I have 2 Long Haul and 2 Regional sectors... Originally the Regional were operating on 747 aircraft, but have now both gone to 777-200 and 777-300 aircraft, but, have changed a couple of times in the last two weeks, so I am keeping an eye on them.

There will indeed be a Trip Report, which is coming along nicely, already taking shape with pre-able information and background stuff written. It will be lengthy, so you may have to set aside an hour or two...
