Yes, it’s Sunday.
Rest up.
Watch some movies.
Here’s how it looks on this Sunday 3 November…
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix – ITV – 5.20pm
The fifth adventure for the titular boy wizard.
Space Jam – ITV2 – 5.55pm
Michael Jordan recruits iconic cartoon characters for a perilous basketball game.
The Ward – SyFy – 9pm
Latter-day John Carpenter horror effort that finds Amber Heard trapped in a haunted psychiatric hospital.
Vertigo – TCM – 10pm
Recently voted the greatest movie of all time by the British Film Institute, Alfred Hitchcock’s noir classic is a fine choice for a Sunday night couch engagement.
Eraser – ITV4 – 11pm
A film in which Arnold Schwarzenegger shoots an alligator in the face.
Attack the Block – Film 4 – 12.15am
A superb, witty, inventive and oddly affecting ‘kids versus aliens’ twist that made a star of John Boyega and really should be on at 10pm or something but hey, stay up for it.
Rush – Channel 4 – 1am
Speaking of deserving a better late night slot, Rush rounds out today’s picks.
If you’ve never seen it, at least set record. Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl are both brilliant as rival Formula 1 drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda, while director Ron Howard walks away with one of his best pictures.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
