Your movies, your way! DStv is rolling out the M-Net Movies Fan Favourites Festival on M-Net Movies 2 (DStv Channel 106), giving viewers across the continent the chance to select the movies they want to watch during a dedicated month-long film festival on the channel, which runs 1 – 31 October.
Pick your favourite movies from the list of more than 100 titles between 29 July and 25 August via the dedicated Fan Favourites Festival page. There, viewers can make their selection. Once the selections are in and the list is complete, the festival will be scheduled around appropriate content windows and will run on M-Net Movies 2, each day from 1 – 31 October, 11:00 – 00:00.
2024’s viewer selections delivered a mix of cult classics and recent releases – everything from Anaconda and The Bodyguard to the full Harry Potter anthology and the John Wick trilogy.
2025’s list of choices runs to more than 100 films, from 1984’s Gremlins to 2024’s Gladiator II, via hit films including Bad Boys: Ride or Die; Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom; Along Came Polly; Sleepless in Seattle; Groundhog Day, and The Matrix trilogy. Something for everyone!
“This isn’t just about catching your favourite movies – it’s about seeing your own choices shine on the screen,” explains Waldimar Pelser, Director of Premium Channels at MultiChoice Group.
Last year, viewers duked it out online to garner support for their favourites – and the battle is set to be even fiercer this year! “We want to know all about your love for films, so let’s hear your views across the DStv social media platforms with the hashtag #FanFavouritesFestival,” says Waldimar.
