John Cusack leads an ensemble cast.

The weekend may not be here just yet but that doesn't mean you can't relax this Thursday evening with a good film. As such, here is what movies are playing on the telly tonight.

Ocean's Twelve - Turner Classic Movies - 9pm

George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon plot a series of heists in Europe in this fun sequel to Ocean's Eleven.

The Girl in the Spider's Web - Film4 - 9pm

Claire Foy stars in this so-so soft-reboot/sequel to the incredible 2011 adaptation of hit thriller novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Die Another Day - ITV4 - 9pm

The final Bond flick to star Pierce Brosnan.

Cabin Fever - Horror Channel - 9pm

This 2016 remake of Eli Roth's cult horror favourite of the same name has a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes so it's probably best to avoid it.

Bringing Up Baby/My Favourite Wife - BBC Four - 9pm/10.40pm

A Cary Grant screwball comedy double bill.

Identity - Horror Channel - 10.55pm

Our pick for tonight stars John Cusack, Ray Liotta and Amanda Peet and follows ten strangers stranded at a desolate Nevada motel during a nasty rain storm who come to realise that they are being killed off one by one. Directed by James Mangold (Ford v Ferrari, Logan), Identity's good cast and forboding atmosphere just about make up for the movie's increasingly convoluted twists.

Nerve - Film4 - 11.15pm

In this techno thriller, two strangers (Dave Franco and Emma Roberts) become involved in an online dare game that grows increasingly dangerous.

V for Vendetta - Turner Classic Movies - 11.40pm

Natalie Portman and a masked Hugo Weaving star in this strong adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel.

Rocky IV - ITV4 - 12.40am

In this sports drama sequel, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) fights Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), a Soviet boxer responsible for causing a personal tragedy.

Sabotage - Film4 - 1.05am

The Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring crime thriller another JOE writer recently called "absolutely disgusting".
