It's from the director of some of the biggest documentaries of recent years.
Prime Video has just added 27 very big movies to its library but if none of these are for you, here are the films airing on TV this evening:
Dunkirk - BBC Three - 9pm
Christopher Nolan depicts a pivotal WWII event with his trademark bravura filmmaking and time-shuffling storytelling.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Film4 - 9pm
With Harrison Ford's final outing as Indiana Jones out in cinemas today, what better time to revisit this much-maligned (although I'd argue quite fun) fourth entry in the franchise.
Out for Justice - Turner Classic Movies - 9pm
Steven Seagal plays a cop in this '90s thriller that is... out for justice.
The Titan - Horror Xtra - 9pm

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie - RTÉ One - 9.35pm
Agnes Brown (Brendan O'Carroll) heads to d'big screen.
Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger - TG4 - 10.30pm
Our pick for tonight is this 2014 documentary detailing the trials of infamous Boston crime boss James 'Whitey' Bulger (who served as an inspiration for Jack Nicholson's character in gangster film The Departed), while also examining his controversial relationship with the FBI.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger (the Paradise Lost trilogy, Netflix's anthology shows Conversations with a Killer and Crime Scene), Whitey earned an 80% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes upon release. In particular, reviewers praised the movie for its epic scope and its portrait of corruption on both sides of the law.
