Movie Mania was a 24 hour movie network that catered to fans of the B-Movie genre and was targeted at a male audience. It had a very limited distribution and was limited to certain cable companies, as well as being available via the C-Band 4DTV system, (Galaxy 23, VCN 800).
The channel was organized into rough eight-hour blocks, so the same movie was generally shown three times per day.
Genres shown on the channel were Premier Theatre, Action Theatre, Sci Fi Station, Comedy Corner, Horror Feature, Classic Cinema and M2 Movie as well as M2 Specials.
Movies ranged from well known, (ex. Night of the Living Dead), to cult (ex. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) to new movies.
Until October 9, 2006, Movie Mania was known as "B Mania!".
As of June 2007, the network has apparently gone off the air, and the web site is also gone.

Famous quotes containing the words movie and/or mania:
“... the movie womans world is designed to remind us that a woman may live in a mansion, an apartment, or a yurt, but its all the same thing because what she really lives in is the body of a woman, and that body is allowed to occupy space only according to the dictates of polite society.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
“Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reasons imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work.”
—Louis Aragon (18971982)
