It’s one of a few films to hold a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Only one more week until another Bank Holiday.
We can almost taste the freedom of another long lie-in soon.
But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be able to take it easy now.
And there’s no better way to relax than with a great film.
Here’s JOE’s top picks for movies on TV this Sunday (24 April).
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – RTÉ2 – 5.55pm
George Lazenby’s only outing as 007.
The Pursuit of Happyness – Great! Movies – 6.35pm
One of Will Smith’s best performances.
The Day After Tomorrow – Film4 – 6.40pm
Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal run away from ice.
The Ladykillers – Great! Movies Classic – 7.10pm
Our top pick for tonight is a classic British comedy which still holds up to this day.
Alec Guinness (pre-Star Wars) appears in this dark comedy about an old woman who unintentionally assists with the heist of the century.
It’s a slow-burn, but it’s well worth it. If you’re a comedy fan, check this out.
Coyote Ugly – ITV2 – 8pm
It may not be very good, but it gave us this absolute banger, so it might just be worth a watch.
True Grit – ITV4 – 9pm
A great modern western starring Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin.
Austin Powers in Goldmember – Comedy Central – 9pm
“Groovy, baby”? More like “third movie, baby”! (We’ll see ourselves out.)
Mechanic: Resurrection – E4 – 9pm
It’s Jason Statham. What more do you need to know?
Kingsman: The Golden Circle – Film4 – 9pm
The second one.
Lethal Weapon 2 – Turner Classic Movies – 9pm
It’s hard to decide whether this or the first one is better.
Nude Nuns With Big Guns – Horror Channel – 10.50pm
A revenge flick about a nun who can’t seem to get out of the habit… of killing.
Passengers – Channel 4 – 11pm
A sci-fi drama about the dangers of waking up before someone else.

Still one of the greatest comedies ever made.
