“They were no longer little girls; they were little women.”
We hope you’re enjoying that sweltering heat outside.
But after a busy day full of activities (including a fantastic All-Ireland Hurling final), you’ll need to kick back and relax.
So throw off the swimming togs, lap on the after-sun, and stick yourself to the couch for an evening full of great films.
Here’s JOE’s top picks for the movies on your television this Sunday (17 July).
Marley and Me – ITV2 – 5.40pm
“Wow” – Owen Wilson, after buying a dog.
Little Women – Channel 4 – 6.30pm
Our top pick for tonight is a beautiful family drama that will make you feel all warm inside afterwards.
This adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott classic stars Saoirse Ronan as one of the March sisters, who writes about the life of her family full of sisters.
Directed by Greta Gerwig of Lady Bird fame, the film currently holds a near perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes at 95%, and was nominated for six Academy Awards. A lovely, lovely film.
Although, not quite as good as the Moe Szyslak adaptation.

Martha Marcy May Marlene – Great! Movies – 9pm
Before she was Scarlet Witch, Elizabeth Olsen starred in this great thriller surrounding a woman breaking free from a cult.
