    That's based on the old cut from 1980. The director's cut is supposed to be much, much better.

    There's some very critical reviews of the re-cut version as well, but I don't mind as long as the author has actually watched the film. A lot of the articles you'll read about Heaven's Gate are just re-hashed 'production hell' stories, with very little critical analysis. I'd love to read that Empire article to see what their approach was, but I have my suspicions.

    Sarah's Key is on film 4 tonight at 1:30. A film about a reporter investigating what had happened to a deported Jew family during the war. It's in both English and French. This is a very good film that a lot of people haven't seen.

    Multiplicity with Michael Keaton is on Film 4/+1 19.45 tonight.

    Great idea if you could do so in reality.

    Rope is on BBC 2 tomorrow at 1pm, a terrific Alfred Hitchcock film, although the man himself wasn't as pleased with it.

    John Dall is brilliant in it, worth it just for his performance imo and the long takes Hitchcock used really makes for a visually interesting watch (even to non cinema buffs like myself)

    It's so baaaad it's good.

    I wonder will they dub out the bit where the bad baldy calls one of the lads a 'fcuking wamker". It's been done before to comedic levels of ineptitude.

    The "True" cluster channels are not an obvious recommend as a rule and I would wonder about the quality of the screenings but they have upped their game in recent weeks.

    Tonight in the small hours - 1 am True Movies 2 are showing the Marriage of Maria Braun which is one of Fassbinders most acclaimed films.

    While True Entertainment are showing Far From the Madding Crowd at 9 PM tonight.

    Sunday

    The Wipers Times 9 PM True Entertainment - first shown on BBC Two (or Four), a really good comic-drama about the daily newspaper as written and read by British army troops on the Western Front during WW1.

    They Might Be Giants (1971) Nutty George C Scott thinks he is Sherlock Holmes, Joanne Woodward is his bemused doctor who is called er Watson they go after Moriarty.

    Quirky romantic comic mystery. Its not obvious appeal material but its rarely screened.

    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.
