CLASSIC FILMS @10am (Morning tea 9.15am) BABE (1995) Babe is a little pig who doesn't quite know his place in the world. With the help of his friends like Ferdinand the duck and Fly the dog, Babe realises that he has the makings to become the greatest sheep pig of all time.

James Cromwell is superb as the taciturn farmer willing to give a little pig a chance. This is a beautiful film for the whole family!

While his mother (Angela Lansbury) wants him to join his father’s pineapple business, Chad would rather hang around the beach and serenade Wahines. Including gems like Can't Help Falling In Love and Hawaiian Wedding Song and showcased by beautiful, panoramic shots, Hawaii has never looked better.

WEDNESDAY 27 JULY 10AM 1 HR 45 MINS (NO INTERVAL) STRICTLY BALLROOM (1992) This award-winning film starring Paul Mercurio tells the delightful tale of champion ballroom dancer Scott and dance novice Fran.

WEDNESDAY 14 SEPTEMBER 10AM 1 HR 35 MINS (NO INTERVAL) THE LAVENDER HILL MOB (1951) Sir Alec Guinness stars as a timid bank clerk who has the perfect scheme for stealing gold bullion from the bank.
