Are you in the mood for movies?
It’s Saturday, which means you might have plans, but if you don’t have plans… then at least you have movies.
We’ve put together a list of the eight best movies on TV later today, and there are plenty of top notch options.
Captain America: The First Avenger – 8pm – UTV
The introduction of Chris Evans as Captain America. A nostalgic watch for anyone who has stuck with the MCU down through the years.
Pitch Perfect 2 – 8.30pm
A charming musical-comedy for people who like Glee.
Phone Booth – 9pm – SyFy
Colin Farrell gets trapped in a phone booth.
Now You See Me – 9pm – E4
A twisty-turny story about a bunch of magicians with a surprisingly good fast, featuring Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman, Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson.
Bridesmaids – 9pm – ITV2
One of the more iconic comedies of recent years. Crude and gross and very funny.
Churchill – 9.45pm – RTÉ One
Legendary actor Brian Cox stars as Churchill in the tense days before the invasion of the beach at Normandy. A good one for history obsessives.
This Boy’s Life – 9.55pm – TG4
One of Leonardo DiCaprio’s earliest roles. This Boy’s Life centres around his relationship with Robert De Niro, who plays an emotionally abusive father figure.
The Blues Brothers – 11.40pm – RTÉ One
A movie worth staying up late for. The late John Belushi turns in a career comedy performance alongside Dan Aykroyd, with huge guest cameos from the likes of Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and James Brown.
The pair are a down-on-their-luck musical duo who are trying to save an orphanage.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
