Adding Five Children and It to the weekend shortlist. I would love a few more spoiler-free pitches in here.

Oisin, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

Five Children and It is one I am weighing up. This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.

Roisin, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

For anyone considering Five Children and It: A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
