Before you know it, we'll be taking you to the stars all year long.
This is the perfect time to give Cinemax a try, since many cable companies are offering substantial discounts on installation, plus a special free bonus gift if you order now.

Just glancing through the free bonus gift, Box Office Champions, is like a history of the hits that have been seen here on Cinemax.
We've had everything from Airplane to On Golden Pond, from Godfathers I and II, to all three Rocky films.
And all of them have been presented the way our subscribers want to see them, uncut and uninterrupted by commercials.
Coming up in the months ahead are even more hits with today's biggest superstars.
There's Al Pacino in Scarface, Silkwood starring Meryl Streep, William Hurt in Gorky Park, and Richard Gere in Beyond the Limit.
And in November, there's Raiders of the Lost Ark.
If you love movies, you'll love Cinemax regularly scheduled movie events and festivals.
Events like Heartaches and Heartbreaks, a monthly selection of the most romantic films ever made.
And Full Moon Madness, featuring the creepiest, most terrifying fun Hollywood has to offer.
And then there's our classic collection of great vintage films.
Now, some of these classics have never been presented on TV in their original version, but here on Cinemax you do see them in their original versions.
And of course, there's festivals of the greatest films of such legends as Cagney, Fonda, and Brando.
Plus, the best of today's stars like Robert Duvall, Jack Nicholson, and many more.
Take a look for yourself at the exciting movie events Cinemax has in store for you every month if you become a subscriber now.
Friday nights this month, stay up past your bedtime with the ladies of the late, late night.
It's Cinemax Friday After Dark.
First, there's Koo Stark, showing off in royal style as Emily.
She's still looking for her prince and will do whatever's necessary to live happily ever after.
Then there's some real excitement south of the border as the Brazilian bombshell Sonia Braga misses none of the stops.
She's the lady on the bus.
And then, Nastassia Kinski is first online for whatever extracurricular activities her boarding school has to offer.
Make a date to be watching Cinemax Friday After Dark for princely delights, South American Sizzlers, and after-school action.
Take your pick.
So, you had a great summer, but what are you doing now?
I'm sitting here talking to my fish. What's it look like I'm doing?
Well, it may be October, but our drive-in stays open all year round, and you don't need a heater.
Want some action and suspense that'll keep you hanging?
We've got Richard Harris and Michael Beck in Triumphs of a Man Called Horse.
I know you want a story, but I want a killer, and what I want comes first.
There's no such thing as too much Bronson, and when he gets mad, get out of his way.
I could have told you that, you know.
Ten to midnight.
But seriously, folks.
Has anyone ever died in a hangover?
We'll take you on a spring break to Florida, where the sun is hot and the girls even hotter.
Time to get down.
Want to walk on the wild side with Jan Michael Vinson?
Hey, tough guy. Before your girlfriends can cross the street, I'm going to bend this six-pack around your head.
You've got to show some defiance.
So, what's the story?
You'll find out when you check out the drive-in action Saturday Nights on Cinemax.
As you can see, Cinemax takes you to the stars in every kind of movie imaginable.
And we can also take you to the stars in original programs you won't find anywhere else on TV.
Cinemax is where stars like Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, and Pat Benatar premiered their latest albums on Album Flash.
And now we bring you concerts with Duran Duran and the Go-Go's.
And coming up is the dynamic Rod Stewart.
And when it comes to comedy, Cinemax is synonymous with the wildest, most outrageous comedy on TV.
It all started with the arrival last year of SCTV, the Emmy Award-winning comedy show that's destined to become a classic.
And our reputation for showcasing irreverent comedy was confirmed when Richard Belser showed up.
Richard quickly became a favorite with Cinemax subscribers, and they'll be seeing him in six more shows over the next few months.
The latest addition to the comedy lineup is Assaulted Nuts, an off-the-wall series with a cast that spans both sides of the Atlantic.
The result is a show that combines the no-holds-barred style of the original Saturday Night Live with the zaniness of Monty Python.
So if you want the most outrageous comedy, the hottest music, and the finest lineup of movies, Cinemax is for you.
You know, we've given you a lot of reasons to call and order Cinemax,
and one of the very best is that Cinemax is the perfect addition to your current cable entertainment package.
The new, improved Cinemax offers over 70 movies and specials each month.
Now, if you were to have Cinemax in addition to another service like HBO,
you'd have well over 135 choices of movies and shows every month.
And one of those choices next month is one of the biggest hits of the past decade,
one of the greatest adventure films of all time, and the joint effort of two of America's best moviemakers.
If you haven't guessed by now, here's a preview.
Imagine a power of supernatural origin, a force so great it knows no equal.
Men will die for it. Nations go to war over it.
The power to rule the world. And only one man holds the key.
He's backed Indiana Jones in the original motion picture sensation, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It's a race against time as Indy cones the corners of the Earth.
His mission, break the ancient code.
I'll tell you everything.
I know who I am.
And beat Belok to the Lost Ark of the Covenant.
This is history.
Harrison Ford, Karen Allen in the hit adventure film from the makers of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Trust me.
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark.
So what are you waiting for?
You can get Raiders of the Lost Ark, plus all the other exciting movies and shows Cinemax has in store for you all year long by calling 1-800-626-3200.
Now jot that number down. It won't be up on the screen once we start our next movie.
Better yet, give us a call now. Our operators are waiting to hear from you.
What about it, Sarasota, Florida?
Why not let Storer Cable take you to the stars on Cinemax?
And if you live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, like I used to, Colorado Springs Cablevision is waiting to hear from you.
So why not call that toll-free number now and take advantage of the installation discounts that won't be offered once this sneak preview is over.
Besides installation discounts, many cable companies also have the special free bonus gift of Box Office Champions.
It's a fascinating book filled with facts and photos about the blockbuster hits you'll be seeing here on Cinemax.
Now this book isn't available anywhere else, so don't wait. Call 1-800-626-3200 now.
Right now it's time for our presentation of one of the surprise hits of recent times, a film that was a winner with critics and audiences alike.
And it stars one of today's top young actors, Tom Cruise. Not only is it very funny, it's also very sexy.
Here it is now, Risky Business.
We've got a wonderful world of entertainment just for you on Cinemax.
The following feature has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America.
It is intended for mature audiences and parental discretion is advised.
