Movies on TV Wednesday 31 July

Hey it’s that midweek bump.

Nearly there.

Bank Holiday weekend awaits.

Let’s focus on the present, though, with some movies.

Here’s the best around on this overcast Wednesday 31 July…

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel – Film 4 – 6.35pm

Second comes right after first.

Under Siege – ITV4 – 9.45pm

Mild-mannered chef Steven Seagal displays curiously adept counterterrorism abilities.

The Abyss – SyFy – 11pm

Trippy submerged science fiction from James Cameron.

The Game – TCM – 11.05pm

Okay, The Game legitimately seems to be on TV every few days at this stage so if you haven’t gotten around to David Fincher’s brilliant ’90s thriller, you’re running out of excuses.

Big Night – TG4 – 11.25pm

Sharp comedy-drama about two brothers – perfectly played by Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub – who do their best to keep a struggling restaurant afloat.

LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
