Movies on TV Friday 20 March

Stay inside. Watch movies.

We’re all being responsible and practicing social distancing, right?

It’s very important. Seriously, it needs to be done.

Movies help the day go by, of course. Let’s see how Friday (20 March) looks on that front, shall we?

X-Men 2 – Film 4 – 6.20pm

The best one of these that isn’t Logan.

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back – E4 – 9pm

The first Jack Reacher is honestly quite underrated.

The second one? Not so much, but hey, you could do worse.

American Pie: Reunion – ITV2 – 9pm

The gang get back together.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse – TCM – 9pm

The second one.

Enough – Virgin Media One – 10pm

On the run from an abusive relationship, Jennifer Lopez fights back.

Blade – TCM – 11pm
