Movies on TV Friday 24 May

Vote or die.

And then celebrate the act of democracy by watching a movie on the television.

Here are your best options on this Friday 24 May…

The Man with the Golden Gun – ITV4 – 8pm

The legendary Christopher Lee faces off against James Bond, chewing plenty of scenery in the process.

Dr Strange – ITV2 – 8pm

Benedict Cumberbatch’s trippy and surreal shot at being a Marvel hero.

Hudson Hawk – SyFy – 8pm

Infamous flop starring Bruce Willis as a singing cat-burglar.

Worth it for just how notorious it is.

Lucy – E4 – 9pm

Scar-Jo goes all lethal killing machine.

Lethal Weapon – RTÉ 2 – 10.30pm 

The original and, by far, the best.

Executive Decision – TCM – 11pm

Kurt Russell vs terrorists at 35,000 feet.

Dredd – Film 4 – 11.20pm

Karl Urban is the law. Lena Headey is as villainous as Cersei Lannister ever was.

Pretty great adaptation of Judge Dredd that many – ourselves included – still clamour to get the sequel treatment.

The Punisher – Virgin Media Two – 12.30am

Thomas Jane edition.

Rocky II – RTÉ 2 – 12.35am

The second one.

LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
