Rai Movie

Rai Movie live is exactly what it sounds like: a free-to-air channel dedicated to films, owned by Italy's public broadcaster. No original series, no news breaks, just movies, back to back, with the occasional thematic marathon. The programming leans heavily on Italian cinema, which makes sense given Rai's mandate, but you'll also get Hollywood titles, French films, and the occasional British classic. What sets it apart from a streamer like Netflix is the curation: Rai Movie's programmers actually respect the schedule. A Fellini double feature on a Sunday afternoon. A spaghetti Western marathon on a summer evening. It feels curated, not algorithm-driven. Dubbing is standard, everything's in Italian, so if you want original-language tracks, you're out of luck. But for anyone who wants to watch Rai Movie online via Tvivu, the experience is solid. The stream holds up, the rights aren't geo-blocked to hell, and the ad breaks are Italian, meaning short and weirdly charming. You won't find the latest blockbuster here; the window is typically a few years behind. But for discovering older gems or revisiting classics, it's quietly unbeatable. Movies tv Italy doesn't get much more foundational than this.
