Just Like Heaven
12.25pm, 8pm, Sky Movies Drama
(Mark Waters, 2005)

A ghostly love story in which widower Mark Ruffalo moves into the San Francisco apartment of workaholic doctor Reese Witherspoon - who has been lying in a coma for three months after a car smash: her spirit haunts the flat, and an ethereal relationship begins. Daft, but the smart script and charming leads make it very watchable.

Henry V
4.40pm, Film4
(Laurence Olivier, 1944)



A triumph in every department. Olivier the director revels in the freedom of the camera, while the actor, supported by a tremendous cast, is awe-inspiring as the young King Harry. The film opens observing a Globe stage performance and gradually melds into the play, culminating in a furious, full-blown battle of Agincourt, with Olivier's St Crispin's Day speech a heroic rabble-rouser.

Black Rain
2.25am, Sky Movies Action Thriller
(Ridley Scott, 1989)

This stylish thriller has maverick American cops rampant in Japan. Michael Douglas gets vengeful when buddy Andy Garcia loses his head, and joins forces with by-the-book local detective Ken Takakura - who, naturally, learns to take on the evil Osaka gangsters in the all-American way. An exercise in clean-cut, gleaming mayhem.
