One of the best films of the 21st century is among the movies on TV tonight

Stephen Porzio

It definitely has one of the best soundtracks of the 21st century too.

Those staying in this Saturday evening have plenty of viewing options.

For example, Netflix recently added 12 huge movies to its library, as well as one of the coolest horrors of the past few years.

However, should you still be needing more films to enjoy, we’ve compiled the following list of movies airing on telly tonight. Enjoy.

Inside Llewyn Davis – AMC – 9pm

Our pick for tonight is this 2013 movie that follows a week in the life of Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac in his breakthrough role), a folk singer in ’60s America who struggles to make it as a successful musician.

Written and directed by legendary filmmaking duo the Coen Brothers (Fargo, No Country for Old Men), Inside Llewyn Davis manages to be both an emotionally affecting and darkly humorous portrait of a failing singer.

Its ingenious narrative structure, beautifully wintry cinematography, gorgeous folk music and excellent supporting cast – including Adam Driver, Carey Mulligan, F. Murray Abraham, John Goodman and Justin Timberlake – earned it a huge amount of acclaim upon release – with the movie going on to be voted the 11th greatest film of the 21st century in a 2016 BBC Culture poll.

You can watch a trailer for the film right here:

The Matrix – Sky Showcase – 9pm

Arguably the greatest sci-fi film of all time.

Alita: Battle Angel – Film4 – 9pm
