A Trifecta of What’s Best on the Box for Sunday 24 December 2017
Today’s Number One Film: 
*Steve Jobs, 5.29pm HBO Signature BEST FILM OF THE DAY. Watch this if you liked Locke, The Big Short or The Social Network. The only great mystery about Steve Jobs
is how Michael Fassbender could be denied the Best Lead Actor Oscar,
BAFTA and Golden Globe, particularly in a year when Johnny Depp was NOT
nominated for Black Mass – and Matt Firetrucking Damon was, for The Martian! Fassbender, easily the best white male actor since Sean Penn, is nothing short of superb. Watch this film

Anyone who speaks Hungarian or reads Spanish subtitles should watch White God (12.20 midday FoxCin), perhaps the most original animal movie ever shot; it’s a horror.

If you want a literally and figuratively dramatic illustration of how good today’s top pick is, tune in for a few seconds to its predecessor, a film so weak it cast Ashton “Demi Moore” Kuchner in the lead! (Jobs, 1.20pm CnCl). If BC on TV could be sure of English subtitles, the best drama ever made with child actors would certainly have been chosen (Conducta, 10pm Cine Latino).
