Two genuine action classics, a great comedy, and one of the scariest movies of all time.
Another four matches to choose from today – Mexico V Swedean and South Korea V Germany both at 3pm, and then Switzerland V Costa Rica and Serbia V Brazil at 7pm – as well as another mentally stimulating night of Love Island.
If neither of those things float your boat, there’s always the cinema, where you can check out Ocean’s 8, or Hereditary, or Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, or any number of the movies that we’ve reviewed in the last episode of The Big Reviewski, which you can check out right here:
Falling all of that, here are five movies on the TV for you to check out if you’re having a night in:
WEDNESDAY 27 JUNE
Die Hard – Film 4 – 9.00pm
There is absolutely no reason to write anything about why you should watch this movie, so we’re not going to.
Just Friends – E! Entertainment – 9.00pm
Ryan Reynolds was the friend-zoned BFF to the town hottie when he was a teenager, but now that he’s grown up and rich and powerful and looks like Ryan Reynolds, he returns back to his home town thinking he’s got a better shot. But he soon resorts to the same dorky teenager he was back then. Features a completely scene-stealing Anna Faris.
Demolition Man – ITV4 – 9.05pm
Sly Stallone is the maniac that they send to catch another maniac, played by a bleach blonde Wesley Snipes, in a future version of America where crime doesn’t exist and everyone uses seashells to wipe their bottoms. No, we still don’t understand how they work, either.
The Blair Witch Project – Sky One – 11.00pm
The movie that kicked off the whole found-footage craze in horror that still exists to this very day – the Unfriended sequel is out this summer! – but even nearly 20 years later, this one still packs a punch. Even though we want to climb into the TV screen and punch the guy who threw away the map!
Moonrise Kingdom – Film 4 – 1.55am (so more or less first thing Thursday morning)
Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Jason Schwartzmann, Harvey Keitel and loads more star in Wes Anderson’s comedy-drama about two kids who run away together, and all of the quirky adults are forced to work together to find them.
