CinéCinéma Classic is one of Cinecinema channels dedicated to classic films from all over the world, mainly American & French cinema.The Programs begin at 08:00 CET and goes till the next day morning.all Films broadcast in their original language with French subtitle or in a separate audio channel with French dub (for non-French films).you can watch all kind of movies here : from early days of cinema (in a special program named "Retour de flamme") to works of 1970s directors, but most of the films are chosen from 1930s to early 1960s.

There is a close association between Cinémathèque Française and Cine classic. this channel support the special events in the Cinémathèque by showing films (for example showing all Nicholas Ray films at the same time when Cinémathèque held a retrospective of director) and also there are some connection between cine cinema classic and la rouchelle film festival in France.
The host of channel who give a brief speech before most of films is jean-Jacques Bernard. Recently he is doing his show inside museum of Cinémathèque and in the background you can see poster of first Lumiere films and decors of Dr.Caligari and other magical goods from history of cinema. Bernard with his look (fat with heavy glasses & a passionate look) tries to embody late Henri Longlois.

Every month the channel shows some original documentaries about cinema & filmmakers like films about Godard, Renoir & other masters of cinema.

But there are a few problems:
1-There isn't any English subtitle for non English films , especially great french cinema.
2-The Official website doesn't mention original names of the films.
3-although not far from the archive of Cinémathèque, they are not very generous in choosing new films and there is lots of unnecessary repetitions.
4-They've got no idea about non-French viewers and so all facilities go for native costumers. for example there are serious viewers in Iran
