Spotlight on Scorsese

This December FOX Classics shines the spotlight on the long and varied journey of Martin Scorsese. From directing films as a university film major to gaining notoriety with Taxi Driver and directing what was later selected as the best film of the decade to outraging religious groups with The Last Temptation of Christ, this multi award winning director and writer has left no doubt about his billing as one of Hollywood’s greatest ever directors.

The Spotlight will commence at 7:30pm (AEDT) on Sunday December 12 with the premiere of the highly acclaimed documentary A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies and then continue with the screening of Classic Scorsese Double Features Monday through Friday from 8:30pm (AEDT).  See the full Scorsese line-up here.

All You Need Is Love

In the week leading up to Christmas, Monday December 20, FOX Classics looks at what love means with a week of films depicting the difference between the angst of young love and finding love later in life.

Regardless of what love means to you these films will have you feeling all warm and fuzzy by the end of the week just in time for Christmas.

The Golden Years of Hollywood

Tune in each Saturday night at 7:30 (AEDT) as Mr Movies, Bill Collins, presents two films from The Golden Years of Hollywood. With his trademark wit and enthusiasm, Bill uses his encyclopaedic knowledge of cinema to provide new perspectives on Classic films from the 1930’s to the early 1960’s.

Don’t miss Bill’s presentation on Coney Island on December 11 and his insight into the relationship between Lana Turner and John Garfield in The Postman Always Rings Twice on December 18. And join Bill on Christmas evening for a very special presentation of The Greatest Show on Earth.
