3.00pm Little Off Set An insight into the making of Singin' in the Rain, one of the most famous musicals of all time, which follows

3.05pm Singin' in the Rain (U) 1952 Classic musical comedy following the fortunes of two aspiring Hollywood stars who find their lives changing as the arrival of sound revolutionises film-making. Gene Kelly co-directed, choreographed and starred in this perennially popular offering, with Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, Jean Hagen and Millard Mitchell. Featuring unforgettable songs including Make 'em Laugh, You Are My Lucky Star and the evergreen title number (888)

5.00pm Kiss Me Kate (U) 1953 Lavish adaptation of Cole Porter's smash Broadway musical about the squabbles of husband-and-wife acting duo Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson as they appear in a stage version of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Originally filmed in 3-D, this infectiously chirpy offering is well worth a look. Also starring Ann Miller, Keenan Wynn and James Whitmore (888)

7.00pm Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (PG) 1958 A family congregate at the bedside of dying patriarch Burl Ives — a gathering that brings old conflicts to the surface. The simmering tensions are practically palpable in this hugely powerful, acclaimed adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play, boasting the superb pairing of Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, who both received Oscar nominations. Jack Carson and Larry Gates co-star (888)

9.00pm Unforgiven (15) 1992 Clint Eastwood stars as an ageing former gunslinger who reluctantly straps on his six-shooters one last time to help an eager young bounty hunter track down the two cowboys responsible for disfiguring a prostitute. Excellent Oscar-winning Western which was also directed by Eastwood, who deferred making the film for years after buying the rights, until he was old enough to play the lead role. The brilliant performances from his top-notch co-stars, including Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Frances Fisher and Richard Harris, make this a masterpiece

11.25pm Point Blank (15) 1967 Lee Marvin is at his breathtaking best as a gangster out for revenge on his unfaithful wife and the double-crossing partner who shot him and left him for dead. Superbly taut thriller directed with gritty and violent panache by John Boorman. John Vernon, Angie Dickinson and Keenan Wynn also star (888)
