If they're looking for the ultimate movie experience they're in luck because we've got over 100 exclusive Hollywood Hits No One Else Has[R]. But movies are just the start. Your guests won't want to miss our critically acclaimed Original Series and powerful Original Pictures.

No wonder there's never been a better time to offer your guests SHOWTIME.

Hollywood Hits No One Else Has[R]

We know how much your guests love movies, and from Oscar[R] winning box office hits to both original and controversial documentaries, SHOWTIME holds the key to exclusive movies your guests will love. Take them on a non-stop thrill ride via their hotel room with THE ITALIAN JOB starring Mark Wahlberg, Academy Award[R] winner Charlize Theron and Edward Norton. And this being an election year, your guests won't want to miss Reese Witherspoon in LEGALLY BLONDE 2: RED, WHITE AND BLONDE, as she storms D.C. and makes a fashionable difference. We'll keep your guests laughing with SCHOOL OF ROCK starring the hilarious Jack Black. SHOWTIME has the cinematic power to keep your rooms filled with exciting movies all year long.

Breakthrough Original Series

Why not offer your guests a different vision? At SHOWTIME, whether it's our newest series or returning smash-hits, our Originals will give your guests something to talk about when they get home. Like the highly anticipated return of DEAD LIKE ME[TM]. Back for its second season of dark comedy, the group of Grim Reapers are living death to its fullest and showing that death is just the beginning. We'll also introduce your guests to some buzz-worthy new original series including a timely reality series called American Candidate. Unscripted and unprecedented, it's a series in which the viewing public will select a People's Candidate that they think has what it takes to be president of the United States. Next in the line-up there's the new dramatic Original Series !HUFF, starring Hank Azaria, Paget Brewster, Anton Yelchin and Andy Comeau with Blythe Danner and Oliver Platt. And don't forget the audacious THE L WORD.[TM] Spotlighting the lives and loves of a group of LA women, it has everyone talking. And proves once again that SHOWTIME only greenlights the boldest, most entertaining programming so we can continue thrilling your guests.

Acclaimed Original Pictures

SHOWTIME creates big-screen films and turns them into small-screen gems full of Hollywood's A-list actors. Like the critically acclaimed THE LION IN WINTER. "A mesmerizing Glenn Close," says TV Guide. "Patrick Stewart is marvelous," praises USA Today. And they'll find more big stars in CAVEDWELLER, executive produced by and starring Golden Globe[R]-nominee Kyra Sedgwick. It's just the kind of drama you can only find on SHOWTIME.

Waking Up Late Nite

Edgy comedy. Edgy reality. SHOWTIME will keep your guests on the edge of their beds with Showtime Late Nite. We're welcoming back the controversial series PENN & TELLER: BS!. Penn & Teller will use their sense of humor and sleight of hand to take on the kind of taboo topics that will have everyone talking once again. Also back is the one-of-a-kind reality series, FAMILY BUSINESS. The naked truth of a family whose business just happens to be adult entertainment. No one will want to fall asleep with programming like this.

America's #1 Boxing Network[R]

Keeping things exciting is important to us. This year, SHOWTIME is presenting a new heart-pounding live fight the first Saturday of each month. We call it America's Fight Night. And your guests can also see the next champ in the making on SHOBOX:THE NEW GENERATION. Now your guests will always know where and when to turn for boxing's most thrilling bouts as we deliver ringside tickets to every room for nonstop entertainment month after month.
