Who doesn’t love a good Sunday movie?
Clowns, that’s who.
No offence to the clowning community; you guys do important work.
As we write this, Teen Wolf is on Channel 4, but that’s not one of our selections because it’s almost over.
That’s how ruthless this ‘Movies on TV’ game gets, folks.
With that in mind, here’s the best of the bunch on this Sunday 14 April…
