Mona Lisa (1986)

Friday 11th April on Film4 at 11.20pm

Bob Hoskins gives a powerhouse performance in this gritty British drama about an ex-con who becomes a driver for a high-class call girl (played by Cathy Tyson). What starts as a job quickly spirals into something far more dangerous and emotional.

Gangs of New York (2002)

Saturday 12th April on Channel 4 at 10pm

Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis go head-to-head in Martin Scorsese’s sweeping tale of revenge, power, and loyalty in 1860s New York. With epic battles, intense drama and an Oscar-nominated performance from Day-Lewis, this one pulls no punches. A gritty classic.

Scent of a Woman (1992)

Sunday 13th April on BBC Two at 10pm

Al Pacino won an Oscar for his unforgettable turn as a blind, retired Army officer who takes a young student on a wild weekend in New York. It’s bold, emotional, and packed with iconic scenes.

Casino Royale (2006)

Monday 14th April on ITV4 at 8pm

Daniel Craig makes a thunderous debut as James Bond in this slick, high-stakes reboot. With parkour chases, poker face-offs, and that heartbreak, it’s a bold new era for 007.

Three Crooked Men (1959)

Tuesday 15th April on Talking Pictures TV at 4pm

Classic British crime caper alert! When three men find themselves wrongly accused of robbery, it kicks off a tightly wound tale of mistaken identity and justice. A lesser-known gem for fans of old-school thrills.

Licence to Kill (1989)

Wednesday 16th April on ITV4 at 8pm

Timothy Dalton brings a darker, grittier edge to Bond in this action-packed revenge thriller. Stripped of his licence to kill, Bond goes rogue to take down a drug lord in this explosive instalment.

Star Trek (2009)

Thursday 17th April on Film4 at 6.25pm

Boldly rebooting a sci-fi classic, J.J. Abrams beams up Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldaña in this visually stunning, action-packed origin story. With time travel twists, epic space battles and just the right dose of heart, it’s the perfect entry point for new Trekkies.
