    The Ghost is on TV3 around midnight. Roman Polanski's film of the Robert Harris book, about a writer (Ewan McGregor) hired to "ghost" the autobiography of a former UK Prime Minister (Pierce Brosnan).

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    I've just found out that I'm after missing the best part of Film4's Werner Herzog season. Gutted. Do Film4 do a newsletter or anything to keep me up to date about their different seasons?

    Also, is there anywhere that just lists the films that are on TV each week? I've come across a few different guides but I can't seem to filter out the movies.

    FilmFlow shows what films are on each day and you can filter out the channels you don't have, it also includes all the Irish channels. :)

    They have been showing them at about 11:00 pm most nights
    saw two of them for first time

    "Aguirre, the Wrath of God"(1972) about he story follows the travels of Spanish soldier Lope de Aguirre, who leads a group of conquistadores down the Orinoco and Amazon River in South America in search of the legendary city of gold, El Dorado. great mad movie

    and Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) okish IMO

    On Tonight
    Film 4
    ~~11:00 pm

    Fitzcarraldo (1982)
    Fitzcarraldo is a 1982 West German film written and directed by Werner Herzog and starring Klaus Kinski as the title character. It portrays would-be rubber baron Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, an Irishman known as Fitzcarraldo in Peru, who is determined to transport a steamship over a steep hill in order to access a rich rubber territory. The film is derived from the historic events of Peruvian rubber baron Carlos Fitzcarrald

    Never seen it before also, good reviews might tune if I can.

    Silver Linings Playbook, Ch4, 9PM. I have to admit I didn't entirely get this movie, nor was I convinced by its take on mental illness - but Jennifer Lawrence earned an Oscar for her performance, and it was quite a performance. At one point she appears to be channeling the ghosts of Blanche Dubois and Malcolm Tucker.

    Didn't think she deserved the Oscar for this performance, to be honest. I always think they were making up for not giving it to her for Winter's Bone.

    Actually this is worth series linking. Stroszek and Aguirre are on during the week, although I'll have to give the latter a miss as my BFI steelbook is in the post. ;)

    I'm surprised you didn't get the boxset, like I did.

    I got Aguirre and Big steelbooks on Zavvi.com as part of the 2 for €15 offer. I couldn't turn it down. €7.50 each, with free delivery! I don't normally go for steelbooks, but I love the Aguirre artwork, and Big is my all time favourite hangover film, so it was the perfect bargain. I'm not a huge Herzog fan (yet), so I'm not sure I'd spend that kind of money on a box-set. I'd sooner pick up some other stuff that's on my wish-list, and maybe return to it at a later date. How have you found it so far? It seems to be a bargain, given the amount of content.

    If you're up for something quirky; Everything is Illuminated, TG4 23:35. Elijah Wood as a young American who heads to Ukraine, to find someone who reportedly saved his grandfather's life during WW2. He has no idea what he's doing ...
