It's the weekend before Christmas, and I've picked out my selection of films showing on terrestrial/freeview channels tomorrow:
Marie Antoinette (2005) - 5* 9:00 p.m.
Sofia Coppola's pop-video take on history got boos at Cannes film festival, but I rather enjoyed its flashy feel. Kirsten Dunst plays the title role as a flirty yet naive gossip, and the film focuses less on the political machinations going on around her than on the loneliness of her increasingly precarious situation.
The Rebel (1960) - ITV3 2:10 p.m.
Tony Hancock's big-screen outing, penned by Galton & Simpson. Whilst not perfect, it's far better than given credit for at the time. Hancock's bored office worker takes his artistic ambitions to Paris' Left Bank, and there's plenty of digs at the pretentiousness of the art world which are still pertinent today.
The Wake Wood (2010) - BBC2 1:00 a.m.
A eerie tale from the revived Hammer kicks off BBC2's festive horror season - More info here.
