Movies on TV

Your options tonight include a Bond flick, a Dublin-set comedy and one of the best sci-fi movies ever.

It’s Thursday, so congratulations! You’ve nearly made it to the weekend.

To celebrate, why not kick back on the sofa tonight and relax with one of these fine films.

Live and Let Die – ITV4 – 9pm

The eighth Bond movie and the first to star Roger Moore as 007.

Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu reprise their roles in this hit sequel to the 2000 action-comedy Charlie’s Angels.

Set in Dublin, this comedy-drama follows two female friends whose lifestyle comes under scrutiny when one of them becomes engaged to a teetotaller. Alia Shawkat of Arrested Development fame stars.
