On that note, here are the best films on the box.

Tom Hanks gets his freak on with a fish. Ok, technically Daryl Hannah is a mermaid in Ron Howard’s rom-com but you know what we mean…

Doc finds love in the Wild West. Not as good as the first two but still damn entertaining.

Day-Lewis. Michael Mann. That score. The cinematography. An epic.
Strictly Ballroom – Paramount at 19:00
Baz Luhrmann’s breakout film about a maverick dancer risks his career by performing an unusual routine and sets out to succeed with a new partner.

“Houston, we have a problem”
Jurassic Park III – ITV2 at 20:10
With Dr. Alan Grant returning for Jurassic World 3, here’s a reminder of everyone’s favourite grumposaurus. Memorable for the Pterodactyl scene but not much else.

“Get off my plane!”
Scarface – 22:50 on ITV4
Drugs, guns, crime, violence. Pacino going full Pacino.
Slumdog Millionaire – 22:50 on Film4
Has anyone not seen Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winner yet?

Since Joker is so topical right now…
127 Hours – 01:15 on Film4
