15.00pm Uncle Silas (PG) 1947 Drama / Mystery / Thriller
Jean Simmons stars as a 17-year-old heiress who is sent to live with her seemingly benevolent uncle following the death of her father. However, the old man is actually only interested in the girl's money — and it's not long before her life is threatened by his dark and devious designs. Period melodrama saved from the doldrums by fine performances from the ensemble cast, including Derrick De Marney, Derek Bond, Esmond Knight and Katrina Paxinou (888)
16.55pm Campbell's Kingdom (U) 1957 Drama / Western
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)
18.50pm A Room with a View (PG) 1985 / 1986 Comedy / Drama / Romance
Helena Bonham Carter plays a naive woman who enjoys a trip to Florence, where the balmy Tuscan countryside and a carefree tourist lead to her sexual awakening. Like all good things, it soon comes to an end — but she struggles to settle back into life at home. Opulent Oscar-winning Merchant-Ivory adaptation of EM Forster's comedy of manners, also starring Maggie Smith, Denholm Elliott, Daniel Day-Lewis, Julian Sands and Judi Dench (888)
21.00pm Apocalypse Now (18) 1979 Action / Adventure / Drama / War
Francis Ford Coppola's superb and highly acclaimed Vietnam War epic about a world-weary US Army captain (Martin Sheen) assigned to penetrate deepest Cambodia and assassinate an insane renegade colonel (Marlon Brando, in a powerful role). Robert Duvall's performance as surf-crazy Kilgore is stunning, and even after repeated viewings, this remains one of the best war movies in history. Frederic Forrest, Sam Bottoms, Dennis Hopper and a young Laurence Fishburne also star, with a cameo by Harrison Ford. Harrowing, but unmissable and compelling stuff (888)
23.50pm Repo Man (18) 1984 Comedy / Sci-Fi / Action
Alex Cox's cult sci-fi comedy drama, starring Emilio Estevez as a streetwise punk who takes a job repossessing vehicles. While veteran repo man Harry Dean Stanton shows him the tricks of the trade, he encounters a UFO conspiracy theorist and becomes involved with the hunt for a 1964 Chevy Malibu with something sinister lurking in the trunk. With Tracey Walter, Fox Harris and Vonetta McGee
01.35am The Sunchaser (15) 1996 Drama
A teenage tearaway suffering from cancer kidnaps his doctor and forces him to take him to a mystical lake in a Navajo reservation said to have healing qualities. Emotional drama from The Deer Hunter director Michael Cimino, starring the ever-reliable Woody Harrelson, with Jon Seda and Anne Bancroft
