The Towering Inferno (1974). New Year's Day, 4pm, ITV4
One of the finest of the glut of disaster dramas that peppered movie screens in the 1970's (it was Oscar nominated for Best Picture) sees the world's tallest skyscraper catch fire during its dedication ceremony, trapping hundreds of guests in the penthouse dining room.

The special effects of conflagration and destruction are still impressive nearly half a century after its release.
