Bruce, I haven't yet tried Brad's patch, but it sounds to me like 
he's thinking more the same way I am. I agree that the current 
chronological sort is not all that meaningful for the reason you 
mention, but I don't really care when the movies are on when viewing 
this list. I just want a concise (probably alphabetical) list of 
every upcoming movie -- much like the list of all upcoming programs. 
I'd then like to select a movie and choose which showing to record.

If this feature was also in my "dream list", that would be great, 
too. But sometimes you really are in the mood for an awful movie or 
two, too :-).
