15:00pm Death Drums Along the River (PG) 1963
An inspector is called to Africa to investigate the murder of a fellow policeman and uncovers a diamond-smuggling operation seemingly connected with an up-river hospital. Uninspired mystery which lacks the ability to intrigue, starring Richard Todd, Marianne Koch, Albert Lieven and Walter Rilla .
16:35pm Time Lock (PG) 1957
Largely forgotten suspense thriller, remarkable mainly for featuring a very young Sean Connery in an early role. The plot itself is about a boy who somehow manages to get himself locked in a bank vault. With 63 hours before the device opens, the authorities are left facing a race against time to free the lad before he runs out of air — and suffers a horrible end. Robert Beatty, Betty McDowall, Vincent Winter and Lee Patterson head the cast .
17:55pm The Mark of Zorro (PG) 1974
The masked swashbuckling aristocrat returns from Spain to his native California, where he sets about righting the wrongs committed by a local villain. Fun-filled remake of the classic 1940 adventure, which lacks the zip of the more recent rehash, starring Frank Langella, Ricardo Montalban, Gilbert Roland and Yvonne De Carlo .
19:15pm Carry On Dick (PG) 1974
Lawmen Kenneth Williams and Jack Douglas dedicate themselves to catching cheeky highwayman Sid James, and enlist the help of a local reverend. But little do they realise the pious pastor and his buxom housemaid aren't all they seem. Ribald comedy, notable as being James's final appearance in the long-running franchise, co-starring the usual suspects including Barbara Windsor, Bernard Bresslaw, Joan Sims and Hattie Jacques .
21:00pm Speed (15) 1994
Jan De Bont's directorial debut, a thrill-a-minute action adventure about a game of cat-and-mouse between LAPD cop Keanu Reeves and unhinged explosives expert Dennis Hopper. The film gets off to a cracking start with the rescue of passengers stuck in a booby-trapped lift — but the adrenaline really gets pumping once Hopper plants a bomb on a bus, primed to go off if the vehicle drops below 50mph. From then on, it's non-stop action, as Reeves — modelling the white vest necessary for any serious action man — tries to prevent the passengers being blown to smithereens. Sandra Bullock co-stars as the scatty passenger who ends up behind the wheel of the bus, with Jeff Daniels as Keanu's partner .
23:10pm Piranha (18) 1978
Mutant man-eating piranhas infest an American river and embark on a bloodthirsty killing spree, and only an alcoholic tour guide and a plucky insurance investigator stand in their way. Enjoyable tongue-in-cheek horror for fans of rubbery special effects and comical over-acting, starring Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies and Barbara Steele. Directed by Joe Dante, whose admiration for his future mentor Steven Spielberg is apparent throughout this Jaws-inspired effort .
00:55am The Good Thief (15) 2003
Crime drama, starring Nick Nolte as a down-on-his-luck gambler and heroin addict who hatches an ambitious plan to rob a casino's priceless art collection, but has to come up with a cunning scheme to outwit his tenacious arch-enemy. Neil Jordan's complex remake of French thriller Bob Le Flambeur, co-starring Tcheky Karyo and Said Taghmaoui, and featuring a cameo appearance by Ralph Fiennes as a shady art dealer .
