If you go to http://filmflow.tv/ you can enter the day and select which channels you have - it then gives you an hour-by-hour list.

The usual suspects are on, but not the The Usual Suspects. If you're bored around lunchtime, you have a choice between WALL-E (RTE1), Kung Fu Panda (BBC1) or Happy Feet (TG4), but my choice would be High Society (More4, 1PM). It's a classy musical remake of The Philadelphia Story, with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Grace Kelly in her last film before eloping to Monte Carlo.

Later (18:40), TG4 is showing the 1969 True Grit with John Wayne, which I might watch to compare with the remake. Evolution is on Sky2 at 9PM - completely ludicrous, over-the-top small town alien invasion film. "So what'll it be? White meat, or dark?". :cool:

If you have Film4, you could spend most of the afternoon glued to that channel and not go far wrong: they don't have a full list up yet, but their selection includes Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, Miracle on 34th Street (1947), Ponyo, The Ladykillers (1955), Juno, Watchmen, and Garden State.

Good grief, what a mistake. I was thinking of the 2005 version when I meant the original Gene Wilder :eek:

Have never seen Willy Wonka

It's actually quite an interesting film, mostly in hindsight. It's fascinating to discover how much director's were willing to scare the absolute crap out of children in the day. There's a boatride in it which is kind of like what would happen if David Lynch was ever given free reign over a children's movie.
