15:00pm The Wicked Lady (PG) 1945

A 17th-century noblewoman tires of her humdrum life and decides to seek a little excitement — turning to highway robbery and murder to spice up her life, as well as getting romantically involved with a caddish crook. Absolutely fabulous classic British costume drama, with Margaret Lockwood on brilliant form as the vampish villainess, and support from James Mason, Patricia Roc and Griffith Jones (888)

17:10pm The Guinea Pig (PG) 1948

Working-class pupil Richard Attenborough is sent to public school as part of an educational experiment, and horrifies the establishment with his uncouth behaviour and bad manners. This Boulting brothers' drama sent shockwaves rippling through society on its release thanks to the inclusion of what was then considered bad language, although now few would bat an eyelid at the word in question. Cecil Trouncer, Bernard Miles and Sheila Sim co-star (888)

19:05pm Memoirs of an Invisible Man (PG) 1992

Chevy Chase stars as a successful but seriously bored stockbroker whose life gets a much-needed injection of excitement thanks to an industrial accident. Discovering he's been rendered invisible he makes plans to have some fun — but is soon forced to go on the run from devious CIA agents, led by Sam Neill, who are determined to use him for nefarious purposes. Rapid-fire comedy spy thriller directed by John Carpenter, co-starring Daryl Hannah, Michael McKean and Stephen Tobolowsky (888)

21:00pm Orange County (12) 2002

A surfer kid dreams of getting into Stanford University and escaping his dysfunctional family, but his dim-witted guidance counsellor sends in the wrong application, forcing the determined teenager to resort to more underhand methods to ensure he wins a place. Quirky comedy, starring Colin Hanks — son of Tom — with Jack Black, Catherine O'Hara, John Lithgow and Chevy Chase

22:35pm Jacob's Ladder (18) 1990

Vietnam veteran Tim Robbins suffers a series of terrifying visions in which he is plagued by grotesque, nightmarish apparitions — then discovers his old Army buddies are having similar experiences and sets out to investigate, despite his increasingly fragile grip on reality. Intense psychological chiller which quickly won a cult following — despite being dismissed by many critics. Director Adrian Lyne's attention to detail makes events all the more creepy, while co-stars Elizabeth Pena, Danny Aiello, Matt Craven and Macaulay Culkin give solid performances

00:45am Electra Glide in Blue (PG) 1973

Road movie with a well-deserved cult following, starring Robert Blake as an ambitious pint-sized motorcycle cop who manages to overcome every villain he encounters. Inevitably his incredible run of luck must come to an end — and the discovery that his superior officer is less than squeaky clean seems to herald a distinct downturn in fortune. With Billy Green Bush, Jeannine Riley, Elisha Cook Jnr and Mitchell Ryan

21:00 Forrest Gump (Film) 1994

23:35 Strange Days (Film) 1995

Set just as the 21st century dawns, Kathryn Bigelow's film stars Ralph Fiennes as an ex-cop selling the hardware and software of an illegal entertainment system that allows the user to implant other people's experiences directly into their brain. s_x and violence are the most popular requests but then he comes across a clip that shows the murder of Glenn Plummer, top hip-hop rapper and politician, whose death has plunged LA into chaos. The clip shows Plummer was killed by the police who know Fiennes has the clip as do those profiting from the rioting - now his life is under threat from both sides of the law as he tries to get the evidence shown and end the violence.

02:20 The Slums of Beverly Hills (Film) 1998

Director/writer Tamara Jenkins film is semi-autobiographical, a coming-of-age tale set in the riches of Beverly Hills but looking at those at the bottom of the glittering ladder. Natasha Lyonne plays Vivian Abramowitz, who lives with her father Murray and siblings Ben and Rickey. Murray's a car salesman who's not that great at his job, hence the moonlight flits from cheap apartment to cheap apartment just as the rent is due. As well as the family's hand-to-mouth existence, Vivian has to cope with her growing body, with her breasts outstripping her adolescent figure just as she's noticing boys. Into the mix comes Rita, the runaway daughter of Murray's richer brother and neighbour Eliot, who has the hots for Vivian. What could have been a dark film is lifted by Lyonne's stand-out performance and Jenkins' script and direction which, while showing the fecklessness of the family, also emphasises the love and humour that helps them survive.

Walter Lang's Oscar-nominated film follows the fortunes of a family of vaudevillians, headed by parents Ethel Merman and Dan Dailey plus children Donald O'Connor, Johnnie Ray and Mitzi Gaynor, told in 'scrapbook' form. But the star of the film is Irving Berlin's songs, including the title number, Heat Wave, and the spectacular production number Alexander's Ragtime Band.

17:15 Little Norse Prince (Film) 1968

From Japan's Studio Ghibli, Isao Takahata's animation features young Horus, who lives in a mythical Scandinavia of the Iron Age. Recovering the stolen Sword of the Sun from a rock giant, he learns he must travel to the lands of his ancestors, encountering the beautiful but enigmatic Hilda as his journey leads to a series of adventures.

Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis star as two Viking half brothers fighting for the right to rule Northumbria and for the hand of its beautiful Queen in this full-blooded action drama.

21:00 The Deer Hunter (Film) 1978

Introduced by Robert De Niro. Oscar-winner Michael Cimino's Vietnam epic centres on the effect of the war on six workers from a Pennsylvania steel town, both those who went and those who stayed behind. Robert De Niro turned in one of his finest performances with Meryl Streep, John Savage and John Cazale excellent support and Oscar-winner Christopher Walken, as the eventually maddened professional Russian roulette player, outstanding.

00:30 Robert De Niro - A Portrait (Documentary)

Robert De Niro talks exclusively to Film4 about his work on Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter and Once Upon a Time in America and about The Good Shepherd, his new film which he directs and stars in, which opens this month.

Can the brothers pull one over the crooked cops and their equally bent lawyer in Scott Roberts' debut as director/writer.

15:00pm The Kidnappers (U) 1953

Two orphaned boys living with their strict grandfather in Nova Scotia are disappointed by his refusal to allow them to keep a dog. However, their loneliness is alleviated when they discover a baby apparently abandoned in woodlands — and decide to raise the child themselves. Skilful drama, starring Duncan Macrae, Adrienne Corri, Jon Whiteley and Vincent Winter (888)

16:45pm The Girl Can't Help It (U) 1956

Rock 'n' roll comedy, with musical performances by Fats Domino, Little Richard, Gene Vincent, The Platters and Julie London dominating the plot about a theatrical agent's attempts to propel a gangster's girlfriend to stardom. Jayne Mansfield and Tom Ewell star

18:35pm One True Thing (15) 1998

A New York woman gives up a career and rejects her lover to dedicate herself to caring for her sick mother, learning a few harsh lessons about life, love and compassion along the way. Heart-rending drama, bolstered by a strong cast, including Renee Zellweger, Meryl Streep, William Hurt and Tom Everett Scott (888)

21:00pm Forrest Gump (12) 1994

Multi-Oscar-winning drama, starring Tom Hanks as the simple soul who acts as a living advertisement for the American Dream, bumbling through a bizarre series of adventures which lead to him becoming a football star, national hero and millionaire businessman. Robert Zemeckis's emotional and often humorous tale offers large helpings of patriotism which many critics found overbearing, but the performance of Hanks, coupled with special effects that see the hero sharing screen time with the likes of John F Kennedy, make this a wholesome slice of entertainment. Sally Field and Robin Wright Penn ably provide support, while Gary Sinise is on fantastic form as the feted Lieutenant Dan (888)

23:35pm Bats (15) 1999

Genetically engineered mutated bats escape from a shady research facility and start terrorising the residents of a small Texas town. Fortunately a local wildlife expert and her assistant are on hand to help battle the mammalian menace.

Screamingly daft horror thriller, starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Dina Meyer, Bob Gunton and Leon

01:20am Mostly Martha (PG) 2001

15:00pm Death Drums Along the River (PG) 1963

An inspector is called to Africa to investigate the murder of a fellow policeman and uncovers a diamond-smuggling operation seemingly connected with an up-river hospital. Uninspired mystery which lacks the ability to intrigue, starring Richard Todd, Marianne Koch, Albert Lieven and Walter Rilla .

16:35pm Time Lock (PG) 1957

Largely forgotten suspense thriller, remarkable mainly for featuring a very young Sean Connery in an early role. The plot itself is about a boy who somehow manages to get himself locked in a bank vault. With 63 hours before the device opens, the authorities are left facing a race against time to free the lad before he runs out of air — and suffers a horrible end. Robert Beatty, Betty McDowall, Vincent Winter and Lee Patterson head the cast .

17:55pm The Mark of Zorro (PG) 1974

The masked swashbuckling aristocrat returns from Spain to his native California, where he sets about righting the wrongs committed by a local villain. Fun-filled remake of the classic 1940 adventure, which lacks the zip of the more recent rehash, starring Frank Langella, Ricardo Montalban, Gilbert Roland and Yvonne De Carlo .

19:15pm Carry On Dick (PG) 1974

Lawmen Kenneth Williams and Jack Douglas dedicate themselves to catching cheeky highwayman Sid James, and enlist the help of a local reverend. But little do they realise the pious pastor and his buxom housemaid aren't all they seem. Ribald comedy, notable as being James's final appearance in the long-running franchise, co-starring the usual suspects including Barbara Windsor, Bernard Bresslaw, Joan Sims and Hattie Jacques .

21:00pm Speed (15) 1994

Jan De Bont's directorial debut, a thrill-a-minute action adventure about a game of cat-and-mouse between LAPD cop Keanu Reeves and unhinged explosives expert Dennis Hopper. The film gets off to a ******** start with the rescue of passengers stuck in a booby-trapped lift — but the adrenaline really gets pumping once Hopper plants a bomb on a bus, primed to go off if the vehicle drops below 50mph. From then on, it's non-stop action, as Reeves — modelling the white vest necessary for any serious action man — tries to prevent the passengers being blown to smithereens. Sandra Bullock co-stars as the scatty passenger who ends up behind the wheel of the bus, with Jeff Daniels as Keanu's partner .

23:10pm Piranha (18) 1978

Mutant man-eating piranhas infest an American river and embark on a bloodthirsty killing spree, and only an alcoholic tour guide and a plucky insurance investigator stand in their way. Enjoyable tongue-in-cheek horror for fans of rubbery special effects and comical over-acting, starring Bradford Dillman, Heather Menzies and Barbara Steele. Directed by Joe Dante, whose admiration for his future mentor Steven Spielberg is apparent throughout this Jaws-inspired effort .

00:55am The Good Thief (15) 2003

Crime drama, starring Nick Nolte as a down-on-his-luck gambler and heroin addict who hatches an ambitious plan to rob a casino's priceless art collection, but has to come up with a cunning scheme to outwit his tenacious arch-enemy. Neil Jordan's complex remake of French thriller Bob Le Flambeur, co-starring Tcheky Karyo and Said Taghmaoui, and featuring a cameo appearance by Ralph Fiennes as a shady art dealer .

15:00pm The Scarlet Pimpernel (U) 1934

A nomadic labourer in the early part of the last century moves from the big city in search of a more comfortable life in the country — but a series of violent events force him to go on the run with his sister and a friend. Epic saga, starring Richard Gere, Brooke Adams, Sam Shepard and Linda Manz, and directed by acclaimed and reclusive director Terence Malick

18:35pm Chariots of Fire (U) 1981

Stirring Oscar-winning drama based on the true story of contrasting British runners — Scotsman Eric Liddell and Jewish student Harold Abrahams — going for gold at the 1924 Olympics in Paris. Ben Cross and Ian Charleson are brilliant as the sportsmen, who are driven to run for very different reasons, while Nigel Havers, John Gielgud and Ian Holm are among the stiff upper-lipped co-stars. Vangelis's evocative soundtrack serves to raise viewers' spirits

21:00pm Along Came a Spider (15) 2001

The daughter of a senator is kidnapped from her expensive private school, sparking a desperate race to hunt down her psychotic and devilishly intelligent captor before it's too late. Luckily, grizzled police psychologist Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman) is on hand to match wits with the villain. Nail-biting thriller based on James Patterson's best-selling page-turner, starring Monica Potter, Michael Wincott, Dylan Baker and Penelope Ann Miller

22:55pm Somersault (15) 2004

A young girl with nowhere to go ends up at an Australian ski resort, and falls headlong into a complicated relationship as she tries to get her life together. Inexplicably popular coming-of-age drama, starring Abbie Cornish, Sam Worthington and Lynette Curran

00:55am One for the Road (18) 2003

Four very different men are ordered to attend a rehabilitation programme after being caught drink driving — but one soon looks set to take a financial tumble at the hands of his scheming fellow offenders. Offbeat British comedy, starring Hywel Bennett, Mark Davenport, Gregory Chisholm and Rupert Procter

15:00pm The Long Memory (PG) 1952

A man is released from prison after serving a 12-year sentence for a crime he didn't commit, and immediately sets about tracking down the group who framed him for murder, which includes his former girlfriend. But it's not long before he stumbles upon a shocking secret which leaves him all the more determined to exact revenge. Taut, engaging thriller, starring John Mills, Elizabeth Sellars, John McCallum and Geoffrey Keen

16:50pm Leave Her to Heaven (U) 1946

Melodrama about an unbalanced woman whose insane jealousy leads her to plot the death of anyone she suspects of attracting her husband's affections. Starring Gene Tierney, Cornel Wilde, Jeanne Crain and Vincent Price

18:55pm The Straight Story (U) 1999

An ageing man embarks on a bizarre cross-country journey to visit his estranged brother, hoping to heal the rift between them before it's too late. Though his eyesight leaves much to be desired, he carries on regardless — choosing a motorised lawnmower as his form of transport. Gentle and utterly beguiling drama with acclaimed director David Lynch once more turning his well-practised hand to the offbeat, starring Richard Farnsworth in an Oscar-nominated role, alongside Sissy Spacek, Jane Galloway, Everett McGill and Harry Dean Stanton. This was Farnsworth's final film appearance before his death in 2000

21:00pm Out of Time (12) 2003

A cop's less than squeaky clean activities catch up with him, leaving him on the wrong side of the law as the prime suspect in a murder investigation — and facing a race against the clock to prove his innocence. Stylish but rather predictable crime thriller, which continually fails to convince. Denzel Washington, Eva Mendes, Dean Cain and Sanaa Lathan star

23:00pm Once Upon a Time in America (18) 1984
Mob movie veteran Robert De Niro takes the lead in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly director Sergio Leone's acclaimed and shockingly violent epic chronicling the deeds and deceptions of four notorious gangsters living in New York between 1922 and 1968. De Niro plays Noodles, a crook who rises to prominence during the Prohibition era — but it isn't long before tragedy strikes, while his love for a local girl ends in disaster. James Woods, Elizabeth McGovern, Tuesday Weld, Treat Williams, Joe Pesci and Burt Young co-star

15:00 The Kidnappers Film (1953)

When their grandfather refuses to buy them a pet dog, two orphaned brothers decide to 'adopt' an abandoned baby that they find in the woods. Enchanting children's period drama blessed by Oscar-winning performances from its two pre-teen leads.

16:50 Imitation of Life Film (1959)

This re-make of the 1934 classic, directed by Douglas Sirk, stars Lana Turner as a widowed but rising actress who engages Oscar-nominated Juanita Moore as her black housekeeper.

9:15 The Money Pit Film (1986)

A young Tom Hanks, an old wreck of a house and the American dream. A mild, but enjoyable comedy that will strike a chord with every new home buyer...

Adapted from AJ Cronin's novel, The Spanish Gardener is the story of a minor diplomat (Michael Horden) who becomes increasingly jealous of the relationship that develops between his son (Jon Whiteley) and his gardener (Dirk Bogarde).

17:00 The Girl Can't Help It Film (1956)

Something of a classic. Jane Mansfield displays a knowing gift for comedy, and there's an element of satire directed at the pop and advertising industries that can only be described as ahead of its time. All this, plus rockin' performances from Little Richard, Eddie Cochran and Julie London, among many others.

18:50 The Triumph of Love Film (2001)

A young princess disguises herself as a man and seduces her way through the household of an 18th century prince. Mira Sorvina and Ben Kinglsey star in Clare Peploe's costume comedy-drama.

00:55 A Generation Film (1955)

The first in Polish director Andrzej Wajda's 'underground trilogy', that documented the experiences of the Polish people under Nazi occupation. Tadeusz Lomnicki plays Stach Mazur, a young Pole who becomes involved with the resistance. As the Nazis tighten their grip on the country, their retribution for acts against them becomes harsher, while the resistance movement itself is torn between the various political factions.

02:35 Time Lock Film (1957)

Gripping rescue drama clinging with sweat-soaked claustrophobia and suspense. Robert Beatty heads a team labouring against the clock to save a six-year-old boy who's been trapped in a seemingly impregnable bank vault. Features an early appearance by Sean Connery.

17:15pm The Malta Story (PG) 1953

19:15pm High Anxiety (15) 1977

Mel Brooks' affectionate Hitchcock spoof — with shades of Psycho, Vertigo and The Birds — in which he plays a psychiatrist whose own neuroses threaten to spin out of control. With Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman and Harvey Korman

21:00pm Speed (15) 1994

Jan De Bont's directorial debut, a thrill-a-minute action adventure about a game of cat-and-mouse between LAPD cop Keanu Reeves and unhinged explosives expert Dennis Hopper. The film gets off to a ******** start with the rescue of passengers stuck in a booby-trapped lift — but the adrenaline really gets pumping once Hopper plants a bomb on a bus, primed to go off if the vehicle drops below 50mph. From then on, it's non-stop action, as Reeves — modelling the white vest necessary for any serious action man — tries to prevent the passengers being blown to smithereens. Sandra Bullock co-stars as the scatty passenger who ends up behind the wheel of the bus, with Jeff Daniels as Keanu's partner.

23:10pm Frailty (15) 2001

A man tells the FBI his brother is the serial killer spreading terror through the community. As the police strive to prevent further murders, it emerges that his unhinged sibling is claiming the crimes are the work of God — and the roots of the cause lies buried in his childhood. Fascinating and gripping thriller told largely in flashback, directed by and starring Bill Paxton. Matthew McConaughey, Powers Boothe and Matthew O'Leary also appear.

01:05am Kanal (12) 1957

Polish drama, set toward the end of World War Two.

15:00pm The Guinea Pig (PG) 1948

Working-class pupil Richard Attenborough is sent to public school as part of an educational experiment, and horrifies the establishment with his uncouth behaviour and bad manners. This Boulting brothers' drama sent shockwaves rippling through society on its release thanks to the inclusion of what was then considered bad language, although now few would bat an eyelid at the word in question. Cecil Trouncer, Bernard Miles and Sheila Sim co-star (888)

16:50pm Blithe Spirit (U) 1945

Novelist Rex Harrison is shocked to find the ghost of his first wife haunting him and new spouse Constance Cummings, and sets out to find a way of getting rid of the annoying apparition. He employs the services of a local clairvoyant in an attempt to drive the ghoul away — but her methods seem doomed to failure, and his ever-more desperate plans go horribly wrong. David Lean's excellent adaptation of Noel Coward's splendid supernatural comedy, also starring Kay Hammond as the slinky spirit and Margaret Rutherford on hilarious form as eccentric medium Madame Arcati (888)

18:50pm The Land Girls (12) 1997

Three very different Land Army agricultural volunteers are sent to work on a farm — where they all fall head over heels for the owner's son, leading to romance, heartbreak and tragedy. Contrived, predictable wartime drama, with the attractive trio of leading ladies — Catherine McCormack, Anna Friel and Rachel Weisz — slipping comfortably into stereotypical characterisations, and staying there come hell or high water. Tom Georgeson, Steven Mackintosh, Maureen O'Brien and Lucy Akhurst co-star (888)

21:00pm Just Married (12) 2003

Newly-weds Brittany Murphy and Ashton Kutcher are in for a rude awakening when they jet off on their dream honeymoon. They're looking forward to a relaxing and enjoyable tour of Europe — but a series of chaotic events, plus the intervention of the bride's old flame, leaves them at each other's throats and their marriage in tatters. Shallow but mildly amusing comedy, with Christian Kane and David Moscow (888)

22:45pm John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (15) 2001

Space cops get a shock when they set out to collect a dangerous criminal from a Martian colony. They discover something terrible has happened on the red planet — and the murderous spirits responsible haven't had their appetite for destruction satisfied yet. Sci-fi horror with an interesting premise, but director John Carpenter fluffs it, settling for easy chills. Natasha Henstridge, Ice Cube, Jason Statham, Pam Grier and Joanna Cassidy star (888)

00:25am Kontroll (15) 2003

A group of disillusioned ticket inspectors working on Budapest's underground system struggle to deal with the everyday grind.

15:00pm The Maverick Queen (PG) 1955

A woman leaves the Deep South to set up a hotel for gamblers and gunslingers in Colorado, and finds herself falling for one of her outlaw clients — but there could be more to the object of her affections than meets the eye. Garish and strangely dull Western, starring Barbara Stanwyck, Barry Sullivan and Scott Brady.

The world's most inept police detective, Inspector Clouseau, heads off to Switzerland in search of a suave jewel thief targeting a valuable gem — but the bumbling officer's attempts to foil the crime create chaos. Blake Edwards' priceless comedy, which proved so successful it spawned a host of sequels (and a few misjudged remakes). Peter Sellers is on side-splitting form as the clumsy copper, alongside David Niven, Capucine, Robert Wagner and Claudia Cardinale. Watch out for the famed cartoon Pink Panther making his debut appearance in the opening credits.

21:00pm Dogma (15) 1999

Two fallen angels pull out all the stops to worm their way back into Heaven after being banished by God (played by Canadian songstress Alanis Morissette), but their fumbling attempts to prove their worth only lead them even further from salvation. Kevin Smith's controversial comedy fantasy came under fire from religious groups on release, but rises above the furore to stand out as a brilliantly funny piece of satire. Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Linda Fiorentino, Salma Hayek, Jason Lee and Alan Rickman star. Smith himself makes another appearance as cult hero Silent Bob, accompanied, as ever, by Jason Mewes' Jay.

23:25pm Very Bad Things (18) 1998

Dark and twisted comedy, in which a riotous stag night in Las Vegas results in the accidental death of a stripper.

Also starring Cameron Diaz as the ruthless, demanding bride and Jon Favreau as the put-upon groom.

01:20am The Sugarland Express (PG) 1974

Bob Hope stars as a US Air Force officer who tries to convince renowned Russian pilot Katharine Hepburn of the benefits of life in the West.

At the end of another hard day an overworked taxi driver picks up a sharp-suited fare, who asks to make five stops.

Michael Mann's ultra-stylish thriller set amid the neon lights of night-time LA, starring Tom Cruise as the ice-cool assassin, and Jamie Foxx as the expendable driver

23:15pm Thief (18) 1981

A high-class thief attempts to settle down and lead a normal life with his girlfriend, but reckons without the intervention of Mafia hoods determined to prevent him going straight. Brilliant intelligent drama, starring James Caan, Tuesday Weld, Willie Nelson and James Belushi

01:40am 8 Femmes (15) 2002

A wealthy industrialist is found murdered in his country home, and an octet of women — from the maids to his wife — find themselves under suspicion of committing the horrible crime.

Guy Ritchie's award-winning cockney crime caper. Four likely lads fall foul of a local gangster, and hit on a get-rich scheme to get them out of trouble. A brash, brutal Brit-flick, with hip, slang-rich banter, super-stylised snap-focus trickery and a deliriously twisted plot.

He announces he's taking them on a fishing trip but as the trio set off, one of the boys begins to think he is a murderous gangster while the other just wants to believe papa has come home.

Otto Preminger's sharp film stars Dana Andrews as Mark McPherson, a cynical detective who investigates the brutal murder of a beautiful woman only to be faced with plenty of suspects - and the unnerving knowledge that he is falling in love with the dead woman. The sleekest of murder mysteries, and well ahead of its time.

19:05 Evolution Film (2001)
