Tonight on TV: today’s films January 25th

For those who want to watch a good film on TV tonight, there are many interesting proposals on the various channels, both free-to-air and satellite. Among those that we point out in particular is the romantic Letters to Juliet starring Amanda Seyfried (recent winner of the Emmy and Golden Globe as best actress for the TV series The Dropout). A cult film like Frankestein Junior by Mel Brooks is then revived, with Gene Wilder and Gene Hackman.
