Grandi Nomi

Grandi Nomi lives up to its title, it's an Italian movie channel built around the greats. Think Fellini, Scola, and Risi, not the latest box office hits. The programming leans heavily on 60s and 70s Italian cinema, with the occasional dubbed international classic. The afternoon block drags a bit with lesser-known comedies, but prime-time delivers genuine treasures. The prints look decent, though some transfers show age, that's part of the charm. If you want subtitles, forget it; it's Italian only. But for cinephiles or anyone nostalgic for Italy's golden age of film, this is the channel. Tvivu makes it easy to watch Grandi Nomi online.
