New to Stream

Black Dog, Sky Cinema Premiere & NOW

As they start to open up about their pasts, the boys learn they have far more in common than they first thought.

Starring Jamie Flatters (Avatar: The Way of Water), Keenan Munn-Francis (in his debut role), Nicholas Pinnock (For Life), and Paul Kaye (It’s All Gone Pete Tong).

Sunday Cinema

Paul Thomas Anderson's somewhat controversial romantic comedy, starring Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Sean Penn, Tom Waits and Bradley Cooper.

In the San Fernando Valley in 1973, 25-year-old Alana Kane is going through the motions as a photographer's assistant when 15-year-old child star Gary Valentine makes romantic overtures toward her.

Despite the age gap, she agrees to go to dinner with him.

The Long, Hot Summer, 11.30pm, BBC Two

A rare chance to see this excellent drama from 1958 that’s notable for several reasons. If it’s on too early for you, record it and watch it at your leisure. You won’t regret it.

It’s the film that made Paul Newman (above, right, with Orson Welles) a star, introduced him to co-star and future wife Joanne Woodward, and revitalised the career of director Martin Ritt, who had been blacklisted during the infamous McCarthy witch hunts.

The legendary Orson Welles also pops up as patriarch Will Varner, while the soundtrack is nothing less than superb.

As for the story: Newman plays a drifter fleeing persecution who winds up in a town dominated by a powerful businessman (Welles), who takes a liking to the stranger and offers him a job.

Despairing of his son (Anthony Franciosa), who lacks ambition, the businessman plots to marry the new arrival to his daughter (Woodward) in the hope they will provide him with an heir.

Family Flick

Coco, 4.00pm, BBC One

This animated fantasy, with the voices of Anthony Gonzalez and Gael Garcia Bernal, is an absolute treat.

It's about a Mexican boy who longs to be a guitarist, despite his family hating music.

During the Day of the Dead festivities (similar to our Halloween), he gets transported to the land of the dead, and with the help of a cunning skeleton, hopes to find his ancestor and learn the secrets of his family's history.
