Sacha Baron Cohen became public enemy No 1 in Kazakhstan with this big-screen excursion of his naive, misogynist and antisemitic reporter Borat, trailing across the US to find and "forcibly wed" Pamela Anderson. It's one of the most tasteless, downright offensive films ever made, and very funny too.
American Gangster 10.35pm, Sky Movies Action Thriller (Ridley Scott, 2007)
Scott's glossy, old-fashioned crime drama tells the true-life story of Frank Lucas, the Harlem hood who made his fortune smuggling heroin from Vietnam in the coffins of US soldiers. Denzel Washington's superb performance as the charismatic gangster is matched by Russell Crowe as the shambling cop, Richie Roberts. Engrossing, but not quite the classic it aspires to be.
Birth11.20pm, Film4 (Jonathan Glazer, 2004)
A crop-haired Nicole Kidman is the agonised focus of this unsettling supernatural thriller. She's a widow about to remarry after 10 years of grieving - but a sinister little boy (Cameron Bright) pops up, claiming to be her husband, reincarnated. Anne Heche and Lauren Bacall enhance this chilly tale.
