I was informed by a Sky employee via a phone call that on a weekend there was a phrase to speak into my Sky stream / puck remote and there was a free weekend movie. Unfortunately I have forgotten the specific phrase, can anybody help, thanks.

I suspect that was somewhat misleading: there's no free access to anything on Sky Cinema channels, but Sky can choose to transmit something from there on either Showcase or Max which are included in the baseline channel bundle.

This evening Showcase has 'The Mummy' (1999) which must be a good candidate for most repeated film ever.

Say 'Sky Weekend showcase movie'
On the rail it shows you will see the last few recent ones and this weekends one that is The Mummy
They all play each weekend on Sky Showcase around 7:30pm Saturday and some are usually repeated a few times the following week.

When you click on a movie in that rail, scroll down as by default it shows it on Sky Cinema as the top one, you will see the tile for Sky Showcase further down (if it is still available on the Sky Showcase channel) where you can watch or add to playlist from the Sky Showcase channel.

Another way to see which movie is coming up.
Check out the MySky (app or online) VIP section and there is a tile in there called Sky Showcase Weekend Movie.
Currently shows tonights The Mummy.
It normally changes early next week to the next upcoming one.

Would expect next weeks to be something around the topic of Halloween.
