Wicked: For Good (Jon M Chu, 2025), 7.25am, 6pm, Sky Cinema Premiere
Does pink complement green \u2013 or does it clash? This concluding part to the Broadway musical adaptation inspired by The Wizard of Oz is an impressive feat of tonal blending. At its heart is the fraught bond between Glinda the Good (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba AKA the Wicked Witch of the West (Cynthia Erivo), but there are other vibrant strands woven in, including backstories for familiar characters such as the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man and Dorothy herself.

Leave Her to Heaven (John M Stahl, 1945), 11am, Film4<\/p>\n

Demonic daddy\u2019s girl Ellen (Gene Tierney) creates havoc of all sorts in this noir-melodrama, cited by Martin Scorsese as an all-time favourite. Cornel Wilde is Richard, the unsuspecting novelist who falls for a beautiful Boston socialite on the train to Jacinto, but soon lives to regret his impulsivity. Leon Shamroy\u2019s sumptuous Technicolor cinematography won that year\u2019s Academy Award and director John M Stahl has fun bringing in allusions to the great femme fatales of Greek mythology, including Hippolyta, Medea and the sirens who lure men to a watery grave.

The Bodyguard (Mick Jackson, 1992), 8pm, Sky Cinema Greats<\/p>\n

Once intended as a vehicle for Steve McQueen and Diana Ross, The Bodyguard had a 20-year journey to the screen before finally materialising as Whitney Houston\u2019s film-acting debut. She plays a famous actor and singer who, despite being threatened by a stalker, resists the restrictions placed upon her by her new head of security, Frank (Kevin Costner). Until, of course, the two get intimate. While initially dismissed as hokey by critics, The Bodyguard now stands as a timeless tribute to the power of soaring ballads and interracial romance.
