It Follows is on Film4 tonight, albeit at the late time of 1.05am.

Marje · 05-01-2018 9:59pm

Not on TV as such, but wasn't sure were to post it.

Six Shooter - won Best Short Film, Live Action Oscar in 2006.

Available to watch online by Film4 to mark release of Martin McDonagh's new movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Martin McDonagh's Oscar-winning black comedy about a train journey where an older man (Brendan Gleeson), whose wife has died that morning, encounters a strange and possibly psychotic young oddball (Rúaidhrí Conroy). As the journey progresses, things take several turns for the worse for the bereaved widower...

Lockout is on E4 at 9pm tonight

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 21-01-2018 9:40pm

Les Combatants/Love at First Fight

Film 4 at 1.55am tonight(tomorrow morning). French film about a young guy who joins an army training program after meeting a girl who is obsessed with becoming an elite soldier because she's basically expecting the end of the world. I hesitate to call it a rom-com but it's quite light hearted and the two leads are engaging and enjoyable to watch, especially Adèle Haenel who has been in a couple of more high profile films since.

Tom Mann Centuria · 26-01-2018 9:21pm

Tucker and Dale vs Evil is on The Horror Channel (which I believe is on Freesat etc) at 10pm.

It's a brilliant horror/slasher comedy, very silly and very funny.

Heads up for William Friekin's amazing big budget blow up remake of The Wages of Fear called for no good reason Sorcerer - FilmFour next Friday at about 11 PM. It should be the remastered version.

Having recorded this - I finally got round to watching it this weekend.

Weird, grim, grueling......and bloody fantastic!!
I was gripped.

I'd forgotten what a great director Friedkin was, at the top of his game

Harry Palmr · 23-02-2018 2:53pm

Clear some space, just record this cos it may not be shown again for years (or it could be on again next week, you know how it is) Film4 tonight at 11 PM ish.

DANGER DIABOLIK!

It's more 60s than Mary Quant on a Vespa with Austin Powers hanging off the back

More dodgy recommendations from moi

Horror channel double bill Saturday - The Sentinel at 10.50 and The Guardian straight after it. The first is often reckoned to be Michael Winners most dubious credit. But what a cast! Chris Sarandon, Ava Gardner, José Ferrer, John Carradine, Burgess Meredith, Beverly D'Angelo, Jerry Orbach, Jeff Goldblum, Tom Berenger and Christopher Walken. Plus Dick Smith make up effects.

Trailer

Then William Friedkin's The Guardian, which apparently is barking mad.

This is a very fun film. Old school kids adventure film like the kind Disney used to make in the 80s and 90s.

I believe both Dead Man's Shoes and Tyrannosaur are streaming on All4 at the moment.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 07-04-2018 10:27pm

Kisses is on RTÉ 2 at 0:30 tonight/tomorrow morning. Brilliant little Irish film from Lance Daly about two Dublin kids who run away to the city to escape their crappy home lives. There's some gritty realism hanging over it all the time but also a kind of magic coming from the kids and their innocence. Really worth staying up for or setting the DVR.

Sandor Clegane · 08-04-2018 5:13pm

The Shining and Wolf Creek on TCM tonight.

The Funhouse which Tobe Hooper made between Salem's Lot and Poltergeist is on the Horror Channel at 10.45 Sunday. Good old fashioned fun

Thanks for the recommendation. Recorded it when it was on and just watched it tonight. Kinda predictable but still entertaining and engaging. Definitely worth watching.

spacecoyote · 26-05-2018 11:49am

Creepshow is on tonight on film4. I know it's a bit of a cult classic.

Is it worth a look?

Harry Palmr · 26-05-2018 12:11pm

Was wondering that myself!

Mr Crispy · 26-05-2018 12:49pm

I saw it again a few years back, and while it has dated somewhat poorly as you'd expect, it's still good cheesey fun. Obviously, being in anthology form means some parts are more entertaining than others!

Patty O Furniture · 27-05-2018 3:45pm

Classic Double Feature on Universal Ch on ch 113 & +1 ch 213

The Goonies @4pm
Ferris Bueller's Day Off@6pm

Was too late to post for 3+5pm showings, as i meant to but got taken in by the start

Perfect feature if it's not ideal outside etc Thunder & Lightning,
(must be cos of the yes vote, who's the goddess of thunder )

Enjoy!

This afternoon (16:15) TV3 is showing Hulk, the one directed by Ang Lee in 2003. I really enjoyed this one for its style and its different take on the superhero story, and I don't understand some of the negative reviews it got. Lots of "Hulk Smash!" but also a strong focus on character development and the side-effects of super-powers.

This started on E4 half an hour ago, but if you get E4+1, it starts on there @ 7:20 PM!
