Hitchcock (2012) - Saturday, 12 January 2019 at 20.00
In 1959, Alfred Hitchcock and his wife, Alma Reville, are at the top of their creative game as filmmakers amid disquieting insinuations about it being time to retire. To recapture his youth's artistic daring, Alfred decides his next film will adapt the lurid horror novel, Psycho (1960), over everyone's misgivings.
Darkest Hour - Sunday, 13 January 2019 at 20.00
Winston Churchill becomes Prime Minister in the midst of World War II and faces make-or-break moment of truth. Days into his new role in 1940, as Britain was getting pounded and on the verge of losing to Germany, Winston Churchill was under pressure to make a deal with Hitler that would have established Britain as a puppet state of the Third Reich. His army stranded in Dunkirk, Churchill instead summoned the courage to fight on.
