Films on TV round-up: Licence to Spiel(berg)

TV Feature | Matt Looker | 18th September 2011

FACT: films on TV are better than films on DVD. All they take is a simple remote click as opposed to going to all the trouble of inserting a disc, and they often come with those handy loo breaks, which in no way disrupt narrative flow.
