The long weekend is almost over.
Depending on your circumstances, you’ll either be heading off to work in the morning or rolling over in bed precisely 20 seconds before you begin yet another WFH sesh.
But there are plenty of movies on TV to be grateful for this evening. Here are some of the best.
Ocean’s Eleven – 9pm – Sky One
One of the most fun heist films ever made, complemented by an all-star cast.
Jaws 3 – 9pm – ITV4
Jaws 3? Jesus Christ, it’s a shark, just stay out of the water. How many times do you need to learn this lesson?
O Brother Where Art Thou – 9.30pm – TG4
More Clooney goodness as George stars alongside John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson as they flee the Ku Klux Klan, witches and other strange situations. Directed by the Coen Brother’s and apparently based on Homer’s Odyssey.
Bridget Jones’ Diary – 10pm – Channel 5
The first in the well-loved rom-com series, starring Renee Zellweger as a British writer who must choose whether to fall in love with Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. As relevant now as it ever was.
Rocky Balboa – 11.05pm – ITV4
Rocky, now much too old, somehow allows himself to be taunted back into the ring by the champ of the day. A deeply dangerous and reckless act. Still probably better than Rocky V though.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
