Heat

A detective becomes obsessed with capturing a highly intelligent career criminal who is planning one last robbery before his retirement. Thriller, with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro — and some classic lines: "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

The Pianist

TG4, 9.20pm

There are just so many harrowing scenes in this, it's a superb, if upsetting, watch.

A Polish Jewish musician struggles to survive the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto of World War II. Directed by Roman Polanski and starring Adrien Brody.
