Looking ahead to the long weekend, I can pick out a few highlights on the free-to-air channels:
- Fri C4 12:45PM (lunchtime): The Searchers. John Wayne in one of his greatest roles, as an anti-hero with a chequered past who obsessively searches for a girl abducted by Comanche. It's not a simple Cowboys vs Indians Western, by a long way, the film raises major questions about the whole genre and the actions of Americans at the time. It's not clear what motivates Wayne's character to go as far as he does: love, hate, loneliness, racism? The American Film Institute calls this the best Western ever made. If you want more John Wayne after that, Rio Bravo is on TG4 at 9PM.
- Fri BBC2 11:15PM: Minority Report. Great science fiction film with Tom Cruise as a cop who's supposed to stop crimes before they happen, using the premonitions of psychics ("pre-cogs").
- Sat RTE1 1:40AM: Peggy Sue Got Married. A time travel story that has mom Kathleen Turner going back to high school in the 50s doesn't sound like much, but she's perfect in the role, and the whole film is very well made, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Also starring Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, Helen Hunt and Joan Allen.
- Sat BBC2 2:00PM: Bringing Up Baby. Possibly the greatest of all the Screwball Comedies - at least I think so - starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and a leopard named Baby, Hepburn is a flighty heiress with a twisted sense of logic, while Grant may be the prototype for Ross in Friends. Howard Hawks. Contains possibly the first big-screen use of the word "gay" in its, um, modern sense, ad-libbed by Cary Grant in a negligée.
- Sat RTE1 2:30 PM: An American In Paris. One of those big-budget MGM Musicals that were hugely popular in the 1950s, starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron, directed by Vincente Minnelli.
- Sat RTE2 9:30PM: The Hunt for Red October. The first and possibly the best Tom Clancy adaptation, with Sean Connery and his accent as a rogue Russian nuclear submarine captain, and Alec Baldwin as the normally desk-bound CIA operative who has to figure out what the captain is doing before WW3 breaks out.
- Sat CH4 10:45PM: Showgirls. If you haven't seen it ... see it, then you can tell people you've seen it. It has a "quality" that has to be seen to be believed.
Ye Hypocrites, are these your pranks
To murder men and gie God thanks?
Desist for shame, proceed no further
God won't accept your thanks for murder.―Robert Burns

it's very worthwhile catching bacause of how much the channel has
cut out of it.
if it were a so called drinking game and you took a sip of light
freshment at each cut, you'd be p*ssed as a newt by the end
credits.
totally hacked up!

no death by heinz...
Surely they won't cut that?
They'll also probably cut the "that's not a knife" scene and the Linda Kozlowski's arse scene. :rolleyes:We're all in this psy-op together.🤨
