It’s a mile-a-minute action adventure.

Can you believe we’re already nearly halfway through January?

I can barely comprehend that we’re already halfway through the week.

One thing that’s easy to understand though, is that there are lots of great films on TV tonight.

Here’s JOE’s picks for the top movies on your telly this Wednesday.

Live and Let Die – ITV4 – 8pm

Roger Moore’s first outing as 007, with an iconic tune from Paul McCartney to boot.

Mean Machine – Film4 – 9pm

A film full of propa’ geezas ‘aving a kickabout in prison.

Magnum Force – Turner Classic Movies – 9pm

Dirty Harry is back, and he’s got plenty of scores to settle.

The Italian Job – Sony Movie Channel – 9pm

The American remake. Make of that what you will.

40 Days and 40 Nights – Comedy Central – 10pm

A romantic comedy based around Lent. Make sure you head to confession after watching this.

Crank – ITV4 – 10.30pm

Our top pick for tonight is balls to the walls batshit insane, and that’s not an understatement.

Jason Statham is injected with a serum which means he needs to keep his adrenaline high to survive until he finds an antidote.

Thus ensues one of the craziest action films of the last 20 years, and the sequel is just as crazy.

If you have never seen this, leave your brain at the door and let the madness consume you.
