15.00pm Campbell's Kingdom (U) 1957
A dying man (Dirk Bogarde) tries to claim his inheritance — an oil-rich valley in Canada. Unexpected problems spring up when he is forced to battle a scheming contractor who is determined to exploit the area for his own financial gain. But fighting for the apparently lost cause seems to give the ailing aristocrat a new lease of life. Good-looking but insubstantial adventure, with Stanley Baker, Michael Craig and Barbara Murray (888)
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 (888)
19.05pm Brewster's Millions (PG) 1985
A baseball player is thrilled to learn he is due to receive a massive inheritance, but there's just one condition — he must spend $30million in just one month, or he'll lose the lot. It sounds easy enough, but even with the help of his closest pals, he realises he's got a lot of work to do. Lacklustre comedy with too many of the jokes failing to hit their targets, starring Richard Pryor, John Candy and Lonette McKee
21.00pm 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, Jason Flemyng and David Kelly (888)
23.00pm Assault on Precinct 13 (18) 1976
A virtually deserted police station in downtown Los Angeles is besieged by violent street thugs bent on revenge after six of their friends are gunned down by the cops. John Carpenter's influential urban thriller still stands as one of his finest works and has in recent years attained cult status, prompting a recent remake. The largely unknown cast includes Darwin Joston, Austin Stoker and Laurie Zimmer (888)
00.40am Buffalo '66 (15) 1998
A newly released ex-con kidnaps a girl and forces her to play the part of his fictitious wife as he attends an emotional and turbulent family reunion. Stylish offbeat drama, written, directed by and starring the notoriously eccentric Vincent Gallo, with a typically mature and well-measured performance coming from Christina Ricci. Anjelica Huston and Ben Gazzara co-star
