15:00pm That Riviera Touch (U) 1966

Comedy, starring an uncomfortable-looking Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise as clumsy traffic wardens who take a break in the South of France following an unfortunate incident with a member of the royal family. However, their relaxation comes to an end when they're caught up in a jewellery-smuggling ring. Despite a suitably convoluted plot, the twosome's distinctive brand of comedy never translated well to the big screen, and this offering is no exception. Suzanne Lloyd and Peter Jeffrey co-star

16:55pm Only Yesterday (PG) 1991

A bored and frustrated woman embarks on a heady trip down memory lane in this dreamy animated fantasy.

Directed by acclaimed film-maker Isao Takahata. Dubbed in English (888)

19:20pm 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.

21:00pm Pitch Black (15) 2000

A spacecraft crashes, marooning the few survivors on a barren planet where darkness brings an attack from seemingly indestructible aliens intent on killing them all. Their only hope of survival lies with a convicted murderer, but they're understandably reluctant to place their lives in his hands. Gritty sci-fi horror, with Vin Diesel on chilling form, alongside Radha Mitchell, Cole Hauser, Keith David and Rhiana Griffith (888)

23:00pm A Clockwork Orange (18) 1971
Stanley Kubrick's critically acclaimed but hugely controversial drama telling the story of Alex, a sadistic youth whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven. Eventually arrested and imprisoned, Alex is subjected to a sinister form of aversion therapy designed to brainwash him into a state of placid conformity. Based on the novel by Anthony Burgess, with Malcolm McDowell, Warren Clarke, Patrick Magee, Adrienne Corri and David Prowse. Kubrick himself effectively banned the film in the UK, and it has only been available in Britain since the director's death in 1999 (888)

15:00pm The Lady Vanishes (PG) 1979

A traveller befriends an elderly lady during a train journey, but she suddenly disappears, and he embarks on a search for her. However, the other passengers deny ever seeing the missing woman — leading to suspicions that a conspiracy is afoot. The last film made by Hammer is a glossy but disappointing remake of Hitchcock's classic 1938 mystery, starring Elliott Gould, Cybill Shepherd, Herbert Lom, Arthur Lowe and Ian Carmichael (888)

16:55pm The Nutcracker (U) 1993

Macaulay Culkin stars in this version of Tchaikovsky's classic ballet as a prince who meets a little girl in a fantasy world of oversized toys. Narrated by Kevin Kline, with Darci Kistler and Kyra Nichols

18:40pm Some Like It Hot (U) 1959

Two male jazz musicians don drag and hide out with an all-girl band to evade gangsters pursuing them — with predictable romantic confusions. Billy Wilder's classic comedy, starring Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis as the cross-dressing fugitives, with Marilyn Monroe in arguably her most famous role as the band's singer. Lemmon and Curtis tested their costumes by wearing them in public — and when no one batted an eyelid, they knew they'd perfected them (888)

21:00pm K-19: The Widowmaker (PG) 2002

The crew of Russia's first nuclear submarine face a race against time to save the vessel and themselves when it malfunctions on its maiden voyage through the north Atlantic in the early 1960s.

15:00pm The Quiller Memorandum (PG) 1966

A secret agent (George Segal) is assigned to investigate a neo-Nazi organisation in Sixties Berlin — which, not surprisingly, isn't an easy task. While it's a well-made and acted thriller, it doesn't exactly leap off the screen with gripping excitement. Also starring Alec Guinness, Max von Sydow and George Sanders, with a script by Harold Pinter (888)

17:00pm The Way to the Stars (PG) 1945

World War Two drama, scripted by Terence Rattigan and directed by Anthony Asquith. It follows life on an RAF base, as the stiff-upper-lipped British pilots form friendships with their newly arrived American allies, and people struggle to maintain their personal relationships in the face of the horrors of war. John Mills, Michael Redgrave, Rosamund John, Renee Asherson and Stanley Holloway are among the superior cast (888)

19:15pm Carry On Doctor (PG) 1967

The regular team, augmented by Frankie Howerd, find themselves in hospital for this bawdy romp, which proves to be a fantastic, side-splitting addition to the much-loved comedy series.

With Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Jim Dale (888)

21:00pm Clear and Present Danger (12) 1994

23:40pm The Truth About Cats and Dogs (15) 1995

A radio vet falls for a handsome caller, but shies away from meeting him because of her low self-esteem and the mistaken belief that she's unattractive.

15:00 The 39 Steps (Film)

Kenneth More stars in this, the second film adaptation of John Buchan's ripping espionage yarn. In fact, it's more than a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's original 1935 flick, played for light-hearted excitement rather than heavy suspense. It more than fulfils its ambition as More gamely romps around the Scottish countryside in a 48-hour dash to save the universe by cracking an international plot to smuggle defence plans out of Britain.

16:45 Reach For The Sky (Film)

Kenneth More stars as WWII fighter ace Douglas Bader. He lost both of his legs in a flying accident in 1931, but overcame adversity to become a leading combat pilot.

19:20 The Hound of The Baskervilles (Film)

Uplifting and life-affirming drama starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman as prisoners serving long sentences in the vicious Shawshank jail. The two come to terms with their imprisonment while surviving the sadistic acts of prison warden Bob Gunton, and for both, a different sort of redemption awaits. Directed by Frank Darabont, and based on Stephen King's short story, Channel 4 viewers voted The Shawshank Redemption the third best film of all time.

Veteran British director David Lean won his second Oscar for this sweeping, epic tale, based on the experiences of enigmatic World War One Army officer TE Lawrence (Peter O'Toole giving an electric performance in the role that deservedly shot him to stardom). It tells of his efforts as a naive young man trying to unite the Arab nations against the Turks and taking on the British Army when he disagrees with the accepted idea of using modern strategies, preferring to tackle the enemy with far more effective guerrilla tactics instead. However, his ideals are soon eroded by the horrors he witnesses, leaving him spiralling into madness.

Three middle-aged businessmen join a two-week cattle drive in the hope of taking a break from the stressful rat race and their own mid-life crises, but find the going much tougher than expected.

Excellent Oscar Wilde comedy, bolstered by a perfect cast, which includes Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver, ****** Everett, Jeremy Northam and Julianne Moore

21:00pm The Shawshank Redemption (15) 1994

Quiet, unassuming banker Tim Robbins, wrongly jailed for murdering his adulterous wife and her lover, forms an extraordinary friendship with fellow inmate Morgan Freeman and, over the years, earns a position of trust as the corrupt governor's book-keeper. Frank Darabont's powerful and emotional drama, adapted from a story by Stephen King, frequently figures high in lists of the greatest movies ever made — and it's easy to see why. It really draws viewers into the lives of the prisoners, and although it didn't do especially well at the box office, has become one of the biggest-selling and most-rented movies on video and DVD. Bob Gunton, William Sadler, Clancy Brown and Gil Bellows co-star (888)
23:40pm Misery (18) 1990

Chilling, nail-biting adaptation of Stephen King's best-selling novel.

Julius Caesar intervenes in an Egyptian civil war and falls for the country's charismatic queen. Hollywood's tempestuous couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton met on the set of this star-studded historical epic which, taking inflation into account, is the most expensive film ever made. It should have been a box-office hit — but failed to meet expectations, despite doing well at the 1964 Academy Awards. However, it's still an excellent way to spend a few lazy hours. Co-starring Martin Landau, Rex Harrison, Hume Cronyn and George Cole (888)

A writer afraid of commitment hopes to pick up a few pointers from past experiences while compiling an article on love.

As the Allies look set to liberate Paris from the Nazi forces, the Germans resolve to take all they can from the city — and plot to transport national treasures back to Berlin.

A series of stuffy British tourists have their horizons broadened during a visit to the French capital — and some lucky travellers even find romance. Promising vintage comedy that is, unfortunately, only sporadically funny.

21:00pm Girl, Interrupted (15) 1999

A would-be writer in the 1960s is committed to an exclusive psychiatric ward by her parents after attempting suicide, but the move seems to cause more problems than it solves. This emotional drama follows the same lines as One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but lacks both the subtlety and power of that classic offering. Still, Winona Ryder gives a good gamine performance in the lead, and co-star Angelina Jolie won an Oscar. With Clea Duvall, Brittany Murphy, Whoopi Goldberg and Vanessa Redgrave

23:25pm The 51st State (18) 2001

Drug dealer Samuel L Jackson decides to retire from a life of crime — but must raise the necessary funds through one final sale in the north of England.

Acclaimed director Peter Weir's beautiful and atmospheric period mystery about the disappearance of three schoolgirls and their teacher during a trip to the Australian landmark on Valentine's Day, 1900.

21:00pm Down to You (12) 2000

Two college students fall in love, but the cracks in their relationship begin to show as they are assailed by doubts.
