Weekend TV Top 10: Easter Weekend Special

Hello and welcome to our special Easter Weekend edition of the Weekend TV Top 10. Unlike most weekends where we highlight the best films to watch on TV from Friday evening until Sunday night, this time we will cover the entire Easter Weekend starting Thursday evening until Monday night. See what those films are after the jump.

This top ten list is by order of appearance rather than ranking and therefore the number 1 film is not necessarily better than the number 10 film and vice versa. It is also skewed favourably towards classic films and South African/African films.
