No better way to spend a Thursday evening.
The weekend is oh, so, close.
We can almost taste the lie-in on Saturday morning, the fry in the morning, and the cold chips from the night before.
But until then, it’s one more sleep, one more work day, and one more night to chill out.
And there really is no better way to chill than with a great film.
Here’s JOE’s top picks for the best movies on the small screen this Thursday (6 October).
Ali – BBC Four – 9pm
Will Smith’s biographical take on the greatest boxer of all time.
The Tall Man – Horror Channel – 9pm
Jessica Biel stars in this so-so horror. Who knew tall people could be so scary?
The Equalizer – Film4 – 9pm
An adaptation of the 80’s television series starring Denzel Washington as the former secret agent caught in a web of crime.
The Terminator & Predator – ITV4 – 9.05pm & 11.15pm
Our top picks for tonight is a double bill of iconic 80’s action, brought to us by the Governator himself.
Released within three years of each other, both of these sci-fi thrillers not only cemented Schwarzenegger as a must-watch star of his era, but also spawned two series’ that exist to this day.
The Terminator series alone has seen six films, with Predator becoming a horror icon.
And it all kicked off with these two films. If you haven’t seen them already, fix that tonight.
Let Her Out – Horror Channel – 11.05pm
Critics loved this body horror about an unborn twin, but audiences weren’t too crazy. It’s up to you to decide, I guess.
Moonlight – BBC Four – 11.30pm
Although it’s best known for that moment at the Oscars, this beautiful film deserved the Best Picture win. A must watch.
Daredevil – Film4 – 1.45am
Do you remember when this was the best Marvel could offer us? Dark times.
