SAT 7 Feb • Late Show
THE WRESTLER (15) 11.30pm
(US 2008) dir. Darren Aronofsky 109m.
Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, Mark Margolis, Todd Barry, Wass Stevens.
An extraordinary performance from Mickey Rourke as Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a retired professional wrestler working his way round the independent circuit. Far removed from his glory days in the 80s, Robinson now relies on drugs to push him on in the ring whilst pulling away from the issues that have shaped and plagued his life outside it. A heartbreaking treasure that defines the word 'comeback'.

SAT 14 Feb • Valentine's Day Special late show
SOME LIKE IT HOT (U) 11.30pm
(US 1959) dir. Billy Wilder 110m.
Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, George Raft, Joe E Brown.
Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are the two struggling musicians who pretend to be women in order to escape Chicago after witnessing the St Valentine's Day massacre. Disguised as Josephine and Daphne, hilarity ensues when they meet the dazzling Sugar Kane, played to perfection by Marilyn Monroe. An enduring treasure, and one of Hollywood's greatest screwball comedies!

SAT 14 Mar • Late Show
FRANKLYN (15) 11.15pm
(UK 2007) dir. Gerald McMorrow 98m.
Ryan Phillippe, Eva Green, Sam Riley, Bernard Hill.
FRANKLYN is an urban fairytale which successfully marries inventive storytelling with a striking visual sense. Set in both contemporary London and the futuristic religion-dominated Meanwhile City, it's a tale of four characters: an atheist vigilante who has vowed revenge on Meanwhile City's leader; a privileged but cynical and depressed young artist; a sensitive young man with a broken heart; and a deeply religious man who has come to London in search of his missing son. Switching between the worlds of the real and the imaginary allows first-time writer-director Gerald McMorrow full reign to imaginatively explore the relationship between love, fantasy and faith.
