19:20pm Bless This House (U) 1972

Comedy focusing on the trials and traumas of suburban couple Sid James and Diana Coupland, and their high-spirited children Sally Geeson and Robin Askwith.

17:20pm The African Queen (PG) 1951

A cinematic gem, this romantic adventure features the perfect pairing of Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.

A hapless wimp dreams of becoming a police officer, but thinks his chance has gone following a car accident which leaves him critically injured.

A lawyer's life is turned upside down by his wife's death in childbirth, leaving him to pick up the pieces and raise their daughter with the help of an unconventional American nanny.

Superior black comedy, with Kathleen Turner giving a hilarious star turn as an all-American housewife, who takes protecting her family to extreme measures. In between keeping a perfect home and raising the children, she takes to tormenting and bumping off all those who can't live up to her high standards, often dispatching them in extremely gruesome ways. Directed and written by John Waters and co-starring Ricki Lake, Sam Waterston and Matthew Lillard. Music fans should watch out for a rowdy cameo from one-time grunge queens L7

00:55am Untold Scandal (18) 2003

Woody Allen directs, writes and co-stars with Tracey Ullman, Hugh Grant, Elaine May and Michael Rapaport (888)

21:00pm The Magdalene Sisters (15) 2002

This hugely effective and controversial drama is not easy to watch, but it's well worth the effort. It follows the harrowing experiences of four women whose behaviour is deemed sinful, so they're sent to live in a convent — little anticipating the humiliation and hard work the nuns are eager to dish out.

A recently widowed seasoned journalist accepts an offer by a magazine publisher to produce a series of articles on anti-Semitism.

Warts-and-all drama, based on Laura Z Hobson's controversial bestseller, and featuring an outstanding performance by Gregory Peck. Dorothy McGuire, John Garfield and Celeste Holm appear in the high quality supporting cast

19:05pm The Return of the Musketeers (PG) 1989

D'Artagnan reunites his former companions to save the Queen from the evil Cardinal Mazarin, but the latter's cunning plan pits the heroes against each other. Meanwhile, the daughter of a vanquished enemy seeks revenge on the four heroes. Lively swashbuckling adventure which just about lives up to the standards set by the first two movies. Oliver Reed, Michael York, Frank Finlay and Richard Chamberlain reprise their roles as the swashbuckling rogues alongside Kim Cattrall and C Thomas Howell. Sadly, comedy actor Roy Kinnear died part-way through the filming, and a stand-in was used in some of his scenes

21:00pm Stealing Beauty (15) 1995

An American teenager visits Tuscany for the summer, hoping to discover her father's true identity with only her dead mother's diary for help — and ends up falling in love for the first time.

A psychotic playboy persuades three equally troubled crooks to help rob a mail van. However, while the heist itself succeeds, violent tensions among the gang members threaten to ruin their triumph. Conflict is inevitable, but there's no telling who will come out on top and escape with the loot. Powerful psychological melodrama, starring Laurence Harvey, Richard Basehart and Joan Collins

15:00pm Millions Like Us (U) 1943

Good-natured sentimental British drama about the fortunes of a family split up during World War Two. The action focuses largely on the exploits of youngest member Patricia Roc, who hopes to do something glamorous for the war effort, but ends up working in a factory. However, she resolves to make the best of it — and even manages to find romance. Also starring Eric Portman, Gordon Jackson and Anne Crawford

17:05pm The Count of Monte Cristo (U) 1975

Swashbuckling historical adventure, with Richard Chamberlain on fine form in the lead. He plays a Frenchman determined to exact revenge on the scheming enemies who had him imprisoned on false charges. David Greene's adaptation of the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas is endlessly entertaining, and bolstered by a top-drawer cast, which also includes Tony Curtis, Trevor Howard, Louis Jourdan and Donald Pleasence

19:15pm Cheaper By the Dozen (PG) 2003

A large family move to a new town, hoping it'll be the fresh start they need — but nothing goes according to plan, and unlucky dad Steve Martin is soon left to look after the twelve rowdy kids. Threadbare family comedy which pales in comparison to the 1950 original and leaves Martin struggling with the implausible plot and paper-thin jokes. Bonnie Hunt, Piper Perabo, Tom Welling and Hilary Duff co-star. An equally unimpressive sequel followed two years later

21:00pm Road to Perdition (15) 2002

Devoted husband and father Michael Sullivan leads a secret life as a hit-man for an Irish mobster, but faces a crisis when his son witnesses his involvement in a killing. The lad promises to keep his mouth shut, but one of Sullivan's fellow gangsters feels the boy is too much of a risk, and plans to wipe out the entire family — forcing father and son to go on the run together. American Beauty director Sam Mendes' acclaimed crime drama set in Depression-era Chicago, featuring an excellent performance by Tom Hanks. Paul Newman, Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh also star

23:10pm Swimming Pool (15) 2003

A writer jumps at the chance to use her publisher's holiday home in France for a few weeks, hoping to find inspiration in the peace and quiet — but her solitude is shattered by the arrival of her host's wild daughter. However, the youngster's presence soon proves to be unexpectedly beneficial. Drama, starring Charlotte Rampling, Ludivine Sagnier and Charles Dance

01:05am Psycho (15) 1998

Director Gus Van Sant got quite a reaction when he announced he would follow up the huge success of Good Will Hunting with this scene-by-scene remake of the classic Sixties chiller. Hitchcock fans had their worst fears confirmed when it was released — it is nowhere near as good as the original, the whole affair lacking in atmosphere. There are plenty of worse films, but none as pointless. Vince Vaughn attempts to recreate Anthony Perkins' unforgettable performance as disturbed motel owner Norman Bates, whose curious relationship with his domineering mother leads to murder. Anne Heche revisits the ill-fated shower scene immortalised in the original by Janet Leigh, while Julianne Moore, Viggo Mortensen and William H Macy offer support

Impressive adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel following the fortunes of four Massachusetts sisters growing up in Civil War America, encountering the trials of love and life as they reach maturity during an age of confusion. Winona Ryder stars as the headstrong Jo, with Susan Sarandon as matriarch Marmee, dishing out the occasional snippet of feminist doctrine. Gabriel Byrne, Kirsten Dunst and Claire Danes also star (888)

21:00pm Lethal Weapon 2 (18) 1989

Hyperactive cop Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) rejoins staid partner Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) in an explosive sequel to their first mega-destructive action thriller. This time they set their sights on a gang of sinister and hopelessly stereotypical South African villains who are plotting to traffic drugs into the US via their embassy. Joe Pesci makes his first appearance in the franchise and Joss Ackland leads the bad guys, while Patsy Kensit is on hand as the love interest

23:10pm 5x2: Cinq Fois Deux (15) 2004

Premiere. A French couple's doomed relationship is examined in five stages, beginning with their divorce and working backwards to the time when they first fell in love. Francois Ozon's interesting approach, which follows the pair's separation with increasingly nostalgic scenes, successfully demonstrates the frustrations of a failed relationship, but the indifferent characters fail to create any feeling of sympathy. Intriguing drama, with Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi and Stephane Freiss

00:55am Deterrence (15) 1999

The US President gets trapped in a snowbound diner just as hostilities erupt in the Middle East, forcing him and his companions to face the looming spectre of nuclear war. Surprisingly intelligent thriller written and directed by Rod Lurie. Kevin Pollak is convincing as the anxious leader, while Timothy Hutton and Sheryl Lee Ralph provide excellent support as the White House advisers (888)

13:00pm Autumn Leaves (18) 1956

Middle-aged spinster Joan Crawford rushes into marriage with a handsome younger man whose scheming ways and pathological lying soon have her fearing for her life. Disturbing thriller, also starring Cliff Robertson, Lorne Greene and Vera Miles

15:00pm The Gift Horse (PG) 1952

Forgettable seafaring adventure, which sees Navy captain Trevor Howard reluctantly taking charge of an old US destroyer during World War Two. His attempts to take command of the vessel and her crew prove problematic when hostility erupts, though the prospect of facing the mighty German force brings much-needed unity. Richard Attenborough, Bernard Lee, Sonny Tufts and James Donald also number among the cast (888)

16:55pm The Man in Grey (U) 1943

An aristocratic girl extends the hand of charity to an impoverished friend — who responds by attempting to steal her husband. Entertaining melodrama, starring James Mason, Phyllis Calvert, Margaret Lockwood and Stewart Granger

18:45pm The Battle of the River Plate (U) 1956

Powell and Pressburger's solid and thought-provoking World War Two adventure about the British Navy's pursuit and eventual cornering of enemy battleship the Graf Spee in Montevideo harbour, where German commanding officer Peter Finch is faced with an impossible dilemma. Starring John Gregson, Anthony Quayle, Bernard Lee and Jack Gwillim. Finch pulls off something of a coup by managing to portray a Nazi officer as a sympathetic and even noble figure at a time when emotions were still running high where the conflict was concerned (888)

21:00pm The Magdalene Sisters (15) 2002

This hugely effective and controversial drama is not easy to watch, but it's well worth the effort. It follows the harrowing experiences of four women whose behaviour is deemed sinful, so they're sent to live in a convent — little anticipating the humiliation and hard work the nuns are eager to dish out. Anne-Marie Duff, Eileen Walsh, Geraldine McEwan and Nora-Jane Noone head the cast (888)

23:15pm Mean Machine (15) 2001

A soccer star gives in to temptation and deliberately throws a crucial match — but when his misdeeds become public knowledge, he finds himself on a slippery slope. It's not long before he ends up behind bars, where he's persuaded to form a football team to take on the prison guards. But whipping his fellow inmates into shape could prove to be a tricky proposition. Daft and predictable comedy with a definite dark side, starring Vinnie Jones, Jason Statham, David Hemmings and Jason Flemyng (888)

01:10am The Hustler (15) 1961

One of the finest movies in Paul Newman's impressive back catalogue. The blue-eyed star plays disillusioned but arrogant pool shark Fast Eddie Felson, who regains his self-respect by taking on champion player Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). George C Scott, Piper Laurie, Murray Hamilton and Myron McCormick also star in this unmissable classic drama, which just seems to get better with age

13:00pm Golden Boy (U) 1938

Dilemma facing a youngster equally skilled at boxing and playing the violin. Despite his father's disapproval, he pursues his sporting interest — but when it brings him into contact with organised crime, he starts to regret his decision. With Barbara Stanwyck and Adolphe Menjou

15:05pm The Ghost and Mrs Muir (U) 1947

Lonely widow Gene Tierney realises the spirit of a dead sea captain is haunting her new home but, devoid of fear, she gradually falls for his spectral charms. Fantasy, also starring Rex Harrison and George Sanders (888)

17:10pm The Wolves of Willoughby Chase (PG) 1989

Emily Hudson and Aleks Darowska star as brave cousins who discover their wicked governess (Stephanie Beacham) is out to get her hands on their rightful inheritance. They vow to reclaim what is theirs — only to discover they have a battle on their hands. Chilling children's adventure with some disturbing scenes, and a couple of odd casting choices. Mel Smith, Richard O'Brien, Geraldine James and Jane Horrocks also appear (888)

19:05pm The Return of the Musketeers (PG) 1989

D'Artagnan reunites his former companions to save the Queen from the evil Cardinal Mazarin, but the latter's cunning plan pits the heroes against each other. Meanwhile, the daughter of a vanquished enemy seeks revenge on the four heroes. Lively swashbuckling adventure which just about lives up to the standards set by the first two movies. Oliver Reed, Michael York, Frank Finlay and Richard Chamberlain reprise their roles as the swashbuckling rogues alongside Kim Cattrall and C Thomas Howell. Sadly, comedy actor Roy Kinnear died part-way through the filming, and a stand-in was used in some of his scenes

21:00pm The Green Mile (18) 1999

An 8ft-tall convicted murderer arrives on death row, where the guards are stunned to learn he's scared of the dark — and can apparently perform miracles. His extraordinary ability to heal makes many of the staff doubt his guilt, but emotions run high as they realise there's no overturning the sentence. Oscar-nominated supernatural drama based on a novel by Stephen King, starring Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan, David Morse and Harry Dean Stanton (888)

00:30am Frailty (15) 2001

A man tells the FBI his brother is the serial killer spreading terror through the community. As the police strive to prevent further murders, it emerges that his unhinged sibling is claiming the crimes are the work of God — and the roots of the cause lies buried in his childhood. Fascinating and gripping thriller told largely in flashback, directed by and starring Bill Paxton. Matthew McConaughey, Powers Boothe and Matthew O'Leary also appear (888)

02:25am Hav Plenty (15) 1997

Impoverished would-be author Lee Plenty is struggling with writer's block and reduced to sleeping in his car. A break from his routine comes in the shape of an invitation to a New Year's party thrown by wealthy female friend Hav. The writer soon finds himself the centre of attention for every woman in the house — but doesn't realise that he and Hav just might be made for each other. Peculiar and ultimately unfulfilling romantic comedy, written, directed by and starring Christopher Scott Cherot, with Chenoa Maxwell, Hill Harper and Tammi Katherine Jones (888)
