Here are the best movies on TV on Thursday

Stephen Porzio

There are some good flicks worth checking out tonight.

While there aren’t a lot of films on offer this Thursday night, we’ve compiled a list of the ones that are maybe worthy of a watch.

The Great Wall – Film 4 – 9pm

Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal star as European mercenaries who journey to The Great Wall in 11th century China just as alien monsters attack. While very silly, Hero and House of Flying Daggers director Zhang Yimou makes the action set-pieces at least look spectacular.

Unforgiven – Turner Classic Movies – 9pm

Clint Eastwood’s final proper western and one of the best ever in the genre.

In the Heat of the Night – True Movies – 9pm

Widely considered a classic, this 1967 crime drama centres on a black police detective (Sidney Poitier) who is asked to investigate a murder in a racially hostile southern town.

Step Brothers – ITV 4 – 10pm

Start watching for the promise of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly at their most hilarious, stay watching for Kathryn Hahn of WandaVision fame’s scene-stealing supporting turn.

Dumb and Dumber To – Comedy Central – 10pm

The sequel to the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels starring cult classic.
