A Trifecta of What’s Best on the Box for Sunday 17 June 2018
Today’s Number One Film: *Field of Dreams, 10.10am HBO Family. Watch this if you liked Millions, Dances With Wolves or E.T. - The Extra Terrestrial.
By far and away Kevin Costner’s best film, this wonderful little
fantasy of a man bringing legendary baseball players to life in his Iowa
cornfield is not at all corny and, more important, avoids entirely the
sentimentality of its chief competitor, Dances With Wolves
(even though the aficionado would expect its subject matter, the
relationship of fathers and sons, to give rise to the most cloying of
Costner’s excesses). Beautifully shot
The best of the DIRECTV primetime lineup
The excellent Sally Wainwright-written Yorkshire police drama, Happy Valley, continues at 7pm tonight with season one, episode five, on the DIRECTV Channel.
Today’s Number One Film:
Creed, 9pm HBO Plus. Watch this if you liked Rocky, Hacksaw Ridge or The Lone Survivor.
