Ehhh, the remake is not bad...it's just the title that I take issue with. THIS AIN'T KARATE!

La Grande Illusion (1937) Dir Jean Renoir

Generally considered one of the finest films ever made, nationalism and class played out in the context of a war.

Is to be found on Film ON channel freesat 410, not sure of the Sky number. I won't give a time as it pops up regularly but its after midnight as a rule.

Just an update for cineastes - the print shown is good quality and its not dubbed

Zodiac on BBC 2 at 10.40pm

Haven't seen this since it was in the cinema so looking forward to a rewatch

Angels & Demon on RTE1 at 9.30 tonight

bnt · 30-07-2015 10:31am

The Descendants is being shown on RTE1, Bank Holiday Monday @ 21:30. I don't think it's Alexander Payne's best film, but it's still a very good film regardless, with George Clooney and Shailene Woodley on top form.

It's worth watching just for George Clooney running in flipflops

Documentary feature 'One Million Dubliners' is on RTE later.

Superbly made documentary.

Rambler11 · 03-08-2015 7:02pm

Iron man is on film 4 tonight. Enjoyable imo.

JP Liz V1 · 03-08-2015 9:02pm

Inside I'm Dancing TG4 at 9.30pm tonight

bnt · 08-08-2015 12:18pm

High Noon (1952) is on RTE1, 2PM Saturday. Iconic.

Also: Sofia Coppola's Somewhere is on RTE2, 23:35 Saturday. I liked it, though not as much as Lost In Translation, and it's divided critics.

Awesome Mexican cannibal horror We Are What We Are is on BBC2 at 01:05 tonight.

Takashi Miik's Lesson of Evil is on FilmFour tonight at 10:40 which is perfect timing given that my Blu-Ray arrived yesterday.

Harry Palmr · 24-08-2015 6:43pm

True Entertainment 9 PM Monday

The Day After - Dir Nick Meyer.

The 1983 nuke drama that had America hiding behind the sofa. Not a patch on Threads of course but probably worth checking out for the sake of curiosity. Still the most watched TV film ever made.

Right Turn Clyde · 24-08-2015 7:53pm

The second episode of David Simon's new series, Show Me a Hero, starring Oscar Isaac, is on Sky Atlantic tonight at 9pm. The first episode is still available On Demand. I haven't seen it yet but I'm expecting really good things. I know it's a TV show but Simon's stuff is always worth a mention.

Cantona's Collars · 28-08-2015 11:07pm

Dredd: Film4 now.

Birneybau · 29-08-2015 2:19pm

'TAFFIN' on TG4 tonight. MAYBE YOU SHOULD WATCH IT!

Harry Palmr · 30-08-2015 3:18pm

late evening and later tonight.

BBC Two - Black Sheep - excellent New Zealand comedy about er killer sheep.

Channel 5 - Shoot 'em Up Clive Owen kills loads of baddies. In guilt free fashion. In 80 minutes plus adds.

Film4 - Dead of Night (1974) Rare screening for Bob Clarks second feature film is a slightly different vibe zombie film.

Not sure this counts as a recommend but the very rarely seen Night Porter (1974) by Liliana Cavani, is on Talking Pictures FTA and SKY tonight at 9 PM and again next Friday also 9 PM and a third time Saturday 19th. If arty Nazi themed S&M is your bag then you might want to give this a go.

fryup · 04-09-2015 10:36pm

^^^^^^^^^^^^

is it a nudey type of film? do you see the lot do ya? or is it just the top half?

Harry Palmr · 04-09-2015 10:41pm

Not sure, I flicked it on and the print is abysmal, any copy on youtube will look better.

branie2 · 04-09-2015 10:42pm

Kansas City Massacre 1975

Rare screening for an old school 70s "TV movie of the week". Dan Curtis directs this true story about how Melvin Purvis (G Man) tracks down gangsters who have killed members of the new FBI in a jailbreak. This is the sequel to Melvin Purvis - G Man which was made the previous year and so might already be on the True Movies schedules

True Movies 2 at 7 PM Sunday

Literally just saw the trailer on Film4....haven't seen this so looking forward to it big time.

If it's anywhere near as good as the book I'll be well happy

Harry Palmr · 05-10-2015 10:04pm

This is a bit of a choice for fans of retro crime thriller - The Italian Connection (1972) on FilmOn channel at 3 am tonight. It'll probably be a shoddy edited print but hey I'm going to give it a go.
