13:00 The Fighting Temptations (2003)

Cuba Gooding Jr plays a New York executive down on his luck who finds out he's been left $150,000 by his aunt Sally. Returning to his hometown in Georgia, he discovers there's a catch: he has to create a gospel choir capable of winning the Gospel Explosion competition. Recruiting the town's one decent singer, he assembles a mish-mash of singers, including local convicts, and sets about getting them into shape.

15:30 All About Eve (1950)

Aspiring actress Eve Harrington maneuvers her way into the lives of Broadway star Margo Channing, playwright Lloyd Richards and director Bill Sampson. This classic story of ambition and betrayal has become part of American folklore. Bette Davis claims to have based her character on the persona of film actress Talullah Bankhead. Davis' line "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night" is legendary, but, in fact, all of the film's dialog sparkles with equal brilliance.

18:25 The Core (2003)

The world is struck by inexplicable phenomena - Rome's Colosseum explodes, London's pigeons go berserk - until it becomes apparent that the planet's core has stopped moving, causing electro-magnetic mayhem. The only hope lies in a crack team of scientists burrowing to the core and re-starting earth's engine. But is the disaster natural or is there a more sinister explanation?

21:00 This is England (2006)

Shane Meadows' BAFTA-winning film is set in early 80s Grimsby, where 13-year-old Shaun has to endure bullying at school both for his dress sense and, more spitefully, the loss of his father in the Falklands War. Then he chances upon a gang of skinheads, led by the affable Woody who, although they all appear menacing, accept him into the group, offering him an identity. But then Combo reappears on the scene after a spell inside, bringing with him poisonous National Front politics, leaving Shaun with divided loyalties and hard decisions to make.

23:00 Fight Club (1999)

Edward Norton and Brad Pitt star in David Fincher's Oscar-nominated drama, the former as a bored executive, the latter as a stranger he meets on a plane who introduces him to a world of ennui-alleviating physical pain: Fight Club, a semi-secret organisation where men vent their frustrations in bare knuckle fighting in dingy basements. But as Norton becomes more involved, he learns more about the shadowy organisation that plans to take on more than each other...

01:40 Willard (2003)

Glen Morgan's version of the 1971 original stars Crispin Glover as Willard Styles, a loner who's picked on at work by his boss Frank Martin and nagged at home by his invalid mother Henrietta. His only friends are the rats in his mother's basement, as Willard befriends them and trains them to do his bidding. And as Martin's bullying gets more hateful, Willard plots to use his new friends to get revenge.

1.00pm That Thing You Do! (PG) 1996 A small-town beat combo become overnight sensations with their debut record — but their sudden success looks to be a one-off, leaving them struggling to find a way of repeating the formula. Cheering comedy drama set in the 1960s, written and directed by Tom Hanks, who also appears as the band's manager. With Tom Everett Scott, Liv Tyler and Johnathon Schaech

3.05pm The Battle of the River Plate (U) 1956 Powell and Pressburger's solid and thought-provoking World War Two adventure about the British Navy's pursuit and eventual cornering of enemy battleship the Graf Spee in Montevideo harbour, where German commanding officer Peter Finch is faced with an impossible dilemma. Starring John Gregson, Anthony Quayle, Bernard Lee and Jack Gwillim. Finch pulls off something of a coup by managing to portray a Nazi officer as a sympathetic and even noble figure (888)

5.35pm The Thirty-Nine Steps (U) 1959 Kenneth More stars as John Buchan's daring hero Richard Hannay, who comes to the rescue of a woman being attacked. She is subsequently murdered, but before she dies, warns him of an evil plan by a secretive organisation that he must stop — leaving him with only two days to uncover the truth behind her cryptic last words. Remake of Hitchcock's classic 1935 thriller, with Taina Elg and Barry Jones (888)

7.20pm The Brady Bunch Movie (12) 1995 Reinvention of the Seventies sitcom, which takes the approach of having the all-American family remain as squeaky clean as ever, only now they inhabit the far more cynical era of the 1990s. The eternally cheesy clan face a testing time as their brash neighbours scheme to buy their much-loved split-level home and tear it down to make room for a shopping centre. Comedy, with Shelley Long and Gary Cole keeping tongues firmly in cheek as the time-warped parents (888)

9.00pm Under Siege (15) 1992 Steven Seagal stars in this slick action blockbuster in the Die Hard vein.

Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman star in this supernatural action thriller, supported by Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy (888)

1.15am Serial Mom (1 1994 Superior black comedy, with Kathleen Turner giving a hilarious star turn as an all-American housewife, who takes protecting her family to extreme measures. In between keeping a perfect home and raising the children, she takes to tormenting and bumping off all those who can't live up to her high standards, often dispatching them in extremely gruesome ways. Directed and written by John Waters and co-starring Ricki Lake, Sam Waterston and Matthew Lillard. Music fans should watch out for a rowdy cameo from one-time grunge queens L7 (888)

7.00pm Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (PG) 2004 Giant flying robots attack New York — and only the heroic Sky Captain and a tenacious reporter seem able to save the day.

Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie head the cast, which also includes appearances by a digitally recreated Laurence Olivier (888)

9.00pm Bulletproof Monk (12) 2003 Chow Yun-Fat stars as a mysterious Tibetan monk entrusted with protecting an ancient and mystical scroll.
