A woman leaves the Deep South to set up a hotel for gamblers and gunslingers in Colorado, and finds herself falling for one of her outlaw clients — but there could be more to the object of her affections than meets the eye.

Vietnam War drama chronicling the courage of the men involved in the first major battle of the conflict and the reactions of those waiting for news of their loved ones.

23:35pm Orphans (18) 1997

16:50pm Brief Encounter (PG) 1945

David Lean's classic romantic melodrama, telling the story of a suburban housewife who finds herself falling in love with a married doctor she meets by chance at a railway station.

Visually spectacular star-studded World War Two epic focusing on the exploits of the brave Allied airmen who prevented marauding Nazi forces invading Britain.

Mel Gibson's hugely controversial and deeply moving religious drama following the final 12 hours of Jesus' life, from his betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane, through agonising beatings, and culminating in a nightmarish, graphic recreation of the horrors of crucifixion.

23:25pm Mysterious Skin (18) 2004

Two teenagers deal in very different ways with the sexual abuse that affected their childhood. However, a chance encounter makes the pair realise they have a serious and tragic connection.

The gang go to colonial India for this bawdy saga of occupying British forces having trouble with the natives. Tensions mount as the locals discover the soldiers' fearsome reputation is quite undeserved — prompting open rebellion. Considered to be one of the better films in the series, this effort still manages to bore thanks to the tiresome premise that relentless toilet humour is actually entertaining. Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Roy Castle, Joan Sims and Bernard Bresslaw star (888)

18:45pm The Undefeated (PG) 1969

John Wayne plays an embittered ex-Union colonel who's forced to put his doubts aside and form an alliance with one-time Confederate enemy Rock Hudson. They set out to battle mutual enemies in the form of marauding Mexican bandits and renegade members of the French Cavalry. Good-looking but dull Western, with stars Wayne and Hudson seemingly just going through the motions. Lee Meriwether, Marian McCargo, Tony Aguilar and Roman Gabriel also appear (888)

21:00pm Vanilla Sky (15) 2001

The laid-back lifestyle of an arrogant New York playboy is shattered when an unstable old flame discovers he's fallen for another woman.

Morticia and Gomez (Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia), the spooky spouses who treat life as one long scream, make the mistake of hiring a new nanny to protect the latest addition to the weirdest family in town from his sinister siblings Wednesday and Pugsly — but the seemingly perfect childcarer rather surprisingly turns out to be serial killer who takes an unhealthy interest in Uncle Fester. Not quite on par with the clan's first cinematic outing, but an entertaining ride all the same. Co-starring Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci, Jimmy Workman, Carel Struycken and Joan Cusack (888)

Premiere. The dawn of a new ice age looks assured when storms, earthquakes and hurricanes strike in terrifying fashion — and weather expert Dennis Quaid faces a race against time to rescue his son from an icy death in New York. Spectacular, if melodramatic, disaster thriller, with Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum and Ian Holm (888)

23:20pm 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, with the cast unable to hold their own and the whole affair lacking in atmosphere. 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
