'''MTV Films''' was the film production arm of American cable network [[MTV]]. The studio's origins can be traced back around 1993, when the network signed a two-film deal with [[Geffen Pictures]], from which only one film (''Joe's Apartment'') was released due to the 1994 acquisition of [[Paramount Pictures]] by MTV's parent company Viacom. The studio is best known for films such as ''Beavis and Butt-head Do America'', ''Coach Carter'', ''Election'', the ''Jackass'' movies, and ''Napoleon Dynamite''. | '''MTV Films''' was the film production arm of American cable network [[MTV]].
