Showtime Greats broadcast films dating from the 1960s to the early 2000s. These films were older films which had previously premiered on sister channel Showtime premiere. Prior to March 2004, the channel was known as Encore and aired much older films.[1]

The channel was closed on 15 November 2009 and was replaced by three themed channels.[2]
