The blockbuster happens to be getting a big reboot this year courtesy of Prime Video.
Netflix has just added 12 huge movies to its library, while Disney+ has added one of the best crime drama shows of recent years to its service.
However, if none of that appeals to you, here are the films airing on TV tonight.
Predator – Film4 – 9pm
The Arnold Schwarzenegger-led first entry in the legendary sci-fi action horror franchise.
Daddy’s Home 2 – E4 – 9pm

Pride – BBC Three – 9.50pm

Mr. & Mrs. Smith – Virgin Media One – 10pm
Our pick for tonight is this 2005 movie starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as a bored married couple surprised to learn that they are both assassins working for competing agencies and that they have been assigned to kill each other.
Directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow), Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a fun action comedy that breezes by thanks to its stylish action set-pieces and charismatic stars.
The film was also a big box office hit upon release and will be getting a TV reboot from Donald Glover later this year for Prime Video.
As well as airing on TV tonight, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is available to stream now on Disney+, Netflix and Prime Video.
