Here are the 6 best movies on the telly tonight

The weather outside is frightful. But the movies on TV are delightful.

Tuesday can be tough. Tuesday is the worst day of the week? Discuss. Last weekend is long ago, next weekend is SOOO far away! However, we have come up with a half-dozen movies that will help the time go by much more quickly this evening... TUESDAY 6 NOVEMBER Bridge Of Spies - Film Four - 9.00pm Tom Hanks reunites with Steven Spielberg, working on a script by The Coen Brothers, telling the story of a prisoner exchange with the Soviets, in Berlin during the Cold War, just as the Berlin Wall is being built. A proper old-school spy thriller. Van Helsing - Syfy - 9.00pm Hugh Jackman is the infamous vampire killer, here teaming up with Kate Beckinsale, to destroy bad CGI, and also maybe Dracula. This is a not a good movie. But it is a fun movie. And sometimes that is good enough. The Fugitive - TCM - 9.00pm Harrison Ford didn't kill his wife. Tommy Lee Jones doesn't care. Legally Blonde - RTE Two - 9.20pm Reece Witherspoon goes to college to prove to her ex-boyfriend that she is smart enough to be taken seriously, but in the process realises that she doesn't need him to be happy. Also features that Bend 'N' Snap sequence, which... will never leave your mind once you watch it. Poltergeist - ITV4 - 11.15pm The okay-ish remake takes away a lot of the good scares that made the original great, but the one-two pairing of Sam Rockwell and Rosemarie DeWitt as the parents, plus the always great Jared Harris as the paranormal investigator, make sure that the dramatic side of events are still really good. Hunger - Film Four - 11.45pm Steve McQueen's first feature film (to celebrate his latest movie Widows hitting the big screen today), sees him teaming up with Michael Fassbender for the first time (they'd work together again on Shame), to tell the story of the 1981 hunger strikes by Republican prisoners in Northern Ireland.
