Flying blind: Al Pacino shows Gabrielle Anwar you don't need to see to sashay in Scent of a WomanHoo-aah, there's nothing like an Oscar-winning Al Pacino playing a crazy old blind guy to snap you out of it. Al takes the lead on Drama this month in Scent Of A Woman, while his fellow Academy Award winner Daniel Day Lewis reteams with his My Left Foot director for another tough encounter in The Boxer. Richard Gere's also in the dramatic mix as a rogue reporter in offbeat comedy thriller The Hunting Party.

But don't worry if your eyes go red and your nose starts to run this month, it's probably not swine flu - you're more likely to be watching the Weepies Weekend on Drama.

Hankies? Big cushion? Nice, hot cuppa? You're all set for a wonderful, two-day wallow with Ghost, Love Story and the other classic tearjerkers that surround the Sky Movies Premiere of Nights In Rodanthe.
