********************
15.00pm This Happy Breed (U) 1944
Stunning working-class drama chronicling the domestic life of a London family between the wars, providing a fascinating insight into the realities of the era. Robert Newton, Celia Johnson, Stanley Holloway and John Mills are among the cast. Scripted by Noel Coward, based on his popular play of the same name, and directed by David Lean (888)
17.10pm A Countess from Hong Kong 1967
A Russian countess flees her homeland, and stows away in a wealthy American diplomat's suite on a boat from Hong Kong to Hawaii. Romantic comedy, starring Sophia Loren, Sydney Chaplin and Tippi Hedren
19.10pm Strictly Ballroom (PG) 1992
A dancer shunned by the ballroom community for his unconventional style takes a chance on a new partner — a pairing that unexpectedly blossoms and gives them the confidence to try for a championship title. Highly acclaimed Australian comedy that can't help but draw comparisons with Dirty Dancing, starring Paul Mercurio, Tara Morice, Bill Hunter and Barry Otto (888)
21.00pm Lost in Translation (15) 2003
Sofia Coppola's acclaimed Oscar-winning comedy drama, starring Bill Murray as a lonely and past-his-prime American actor on a working trip in Japan. During a depressing night in the hotel bar, he meets spirited fellow guest Scarlett Johansson, and it's not long before the pair strike up a close friendship, drinking in the sights and sounds of Tokyo together — and helping each other face the mundanities of everyday life. Giovanni Ribisi and Anna Faris co-star
23.00pm Apocalypse Now (18) 1979
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)
01.50am Live Flesh (18) 1997
Internationally acclaimed Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's sex comedy following the antics of three star-crossed lovers — a beautiful woman, her paralysed husband and a love-struck man intent on driving a wedge between them. Javier Bardem, Francesca Neri, Liberto Rabal and Angela Molina star
