Here ya go...

Two new channels, RetroPlex and IndiePlex, will launch April 3.

RetroPlex focuses on the favorite movies of the Baby Boomers to the Gen Xers. IndiePlex highlights independent films of movie masters ranging from Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown), Martin Scorsese (After Hours, New York, New York) and Steven Soderbergh (Sex, Lies and Videotape).

IndiePlex titles include Leaving Las Vegas, Trainspotting and Do the Right Thing. Films on RetroPlex include Five Easy Pieces, West Side Story and Patton. The channels will draw on starz's inventory of theatrical movies from major studios and independent suppliers including Disney, Miramax Films, Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Films, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Columbia Tri-Star, Screen Gems, Revolution Studios and others.

Comcast said it will roll out the channels at launch to the majority of its Digital Cable customers as part of its Digital Plus service. RetroPlex will offer movies of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and IndiePlex will run theatrically-released independent films.
