Michael Bay’s overcooked action blockbuster is a junk-food feast of unwittingly hilarious dialogue and vaguely homoerotic machismo. Bruce Willis stars as the square-jawed leader of an oil drilling team blasted into space to blow up a giant meteor and save mankind. Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Billy Bob Thornton and Steve Buscemi share the blame and the shame. It’s groaningly awful, but was of course a huge hit. (144 min)

AS GOOD AS IT GETS (1997)
Film4, 9pm

The schmaltzy romantic comedy about lonely Manhattan eccentrics in which Jack Nicholson plays the uncompromisingly misanthropic Melvin Udall, an obsessive-compulsive who eventually finds redemption through his love for Helen Hunt’s waitress. It ends up as feelgood slush, but Nicholson coasting is better than most stars on top form. (139 min)

FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE (1978)
Channel 4, 11pm

Harrison Ford took his first post-Star Wars role in Guy Hamilton’s sequel to the classic 1961 war thriller The Guns of Navarone. Ford plays one of a sabotage team on a suicide mission behind enemy lines. Although overshadowed by its predecessor, Hamilton’s middling effort boasts fine action set-pieces and a superior cast including Robert Shaw, Edward Fox and the comely Barbara Bach. (118 min)

TALK TO HER (2002)
Film4, 11.35pm

Pedro Almodóvar’s offbeat but engrossing tale of love and loss set in a hospital coma ward.

Gradually, the two men develop a tender emotional connection with the two women and each other. (112 min)
