Hi,

Which is correct?

1. There aren't any good movies showing at the moment.

2. There aren't any good movies shown at the moment.

I'd prefer to say There aren't any good movies being shown at the moment.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi,

"There aren't any good movies being on at the moment"

Not quite. Just say "There aren't any good movies on at the moment." That sounds very idiomatic.

Best wishes, Clive
