Film choice

Dunkirk (2017) SKY CINEMA PREMIERE, 8.00PM ★★★★★

Director Christopher Nolan (who, bafflingly, is still yet to win an Oscar), takes a novel approach to the Dunkirk evacuation. Told through three separate perspectives, taking place in the air, the sea and on land, the film is a disorientating, dazzling, superbly crafted tribute to their bravery. Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance and Harry Styles are among the cast.

Magic Mike (2012) E4, 9.00PM ★★★★

Steven Soderbergh made a surprise decision to tackle the world of male strippers in Tampa, Florida, and exceeded every expectation: it’s one of his most enjoyable movies. Channing Tatum, in a story based on his own pre-hollywood career, is revelatory – and Soderbergh works similar wonders with young star Alex Pettyfer and the resurgent Matthew Mcconaughey as the club’s smoothtalking, cowboy-hat-wearing owner.

Non-stop (2014) FILM4, 9.00PM ★★★

Liam Neeson is the dolorous air marshal who spends most of this film bounding up and down the aisle of a hijacked plane with a time-bomb under his arm in a plot so absurd that you can’t help but smile. Every passenger is a suspect, even Julianne Moore’s sweet heart-surgery patient. But Neeson wears the action-hero mantle so comfortably nowadays that you’ll become engrossed.
