Chooseday.
Truth be told, cards on the table, in all honesty?
Go to the cinema. There is Crawl or Once Upon A Time In Hollywood or Pain & Glory or Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark (and they’re all good, we’ve reviewed them all here).
Because tonight’s best movies on TV isn’t movies on TV at its best.
But if you are insisting on sitting in, and neither the return of GBBO or day two of the Rose Of Tralee is doing it for you, then here are the best movie options we could find for you:
TUESDAY 27 AUGUST
The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen – Film4 – 6.50pm
Sean Connery heads up this steampunk, Victorian Era superhero movie that is a lot better than you’ve heard. Sure, it is bonkers and never really knows what kind of tone it is going for, but it definitely deserves kudos for trying to make a comic book movie as different as this.
Creep – Horror Channel – 9pm
A woman falls asleep on the last tube home in London, and when she wakes up she discovers she has been accidentally locked into the subway system. As she tries to find a way out, she soon realises that she is not alone down there…
The Shawshank Redemption – ITV4 – 9pm
One of the greatest movies ever made, says pretty much everyone who has ever seen it. And based on one of the few times that Stephen King wasn’t trying to frighten us all to death.
Nerve – Film4 – 11.15pm
Emma Roberts and Dave Franco begin playing a new mobile game in which participants get paid real money to do more and more outrageous stunts. Until the stunts themselves begin to take a deadly turn, and they both realise that maybe they were never supposed to survive the game at all.
Tango & Cash – TCM – 11.30pm
Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell star in this prototype for Hobbs & Shaw, in which two highly competitive agents are forced to work together when they get framed for a crime they didn’t commit.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
