Night at the Museum (2006) E4, 8.00PM ★★★

 Hoping to impress his son, dreamer Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) takes a job as a nightwatchman at the American Museum of Natural History, where he discovers that the exhibits come to life after dark. Featuring Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais and Owen Wilson, this romp was panned by most critics, but is good, unpretentious fun – and who doesn’t love a pet dinosaur skeleton. (2011) ITV2, 9.00PM ★★★★★

 This sharply written comedy combining bad taste with good humour is a valiant backlash against sugary chick flicks, but also a poignant evocation of loneliness. Annie (Kristen Wiig) agrees to be her friend Lillian’s (Maya Rudolph) maid of honour, but the other bridesmaids (Rose Byrne and Melissa Mccarthy) create havoc for her. The heart of the film lies in the interactions between the women. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) FILM4, 11.05PM ★★★★

 Ralph Fiennes gives one of his finest performances in this typically quirky Wes Anderson comedy as Monsieur Gustave, a concierge who becomes embroiled in an inheritance dispute with ludicrous consequences. The tale unfolds through the eyes of a young bell boy called Zero Moustafa (Tony Rev olori). Fiennes’s ridiculous fussiness is fleshed out with skill and timing.
