The movie that put DiCaprio on posters on bedroom walls around the globe.
Your Tuesday evening movie menu has arrived and it is a good one!
The World Is Not Enough – ITV4 – 8pm
Pierce Brosnan must stop a terrorist who cannot feel pain from blowing up an important oil pipeline. It is a bit all over the place, but has some decent set pieces.
Revolver – Sky Showcase – 9pm
A bizarrely terrible crime thriller from director Guy Ritchie (Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), starring Jason Statham.
Highlander – Legend – 9pm
There can be only one! (There should have been only one… but there were six movies, three TV shows and a web series.)
Jumanji: The Next Level – FilmFour – 9pm
The big budget sequel brings back The Rock, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan, whilst adding in Danny DeVito, Danny Glover and Awkwafina into the mix.
Robin Hood – Comedy Central – 9pm
Taron Egerton is Robin Hood, Jamie Foxx is Little John, Ben Mendelsohn is the Sheriff Of Nottingham. The cast was great, the movie was not.
The Big Sick – BBC Three – 10pm
A very decent twist on the rom-com formula sees a man (Kumail Nanjiani) forced to suddenly get to know his new girlfriend’s parents, after she suddenly gets very sick and slips into a coma.
William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet – BBC One – 11.15pm
Our big pick for tonight is Romeo + Juliet, the movie that truly put Leonardo DiCaprio on the map. Sure, he’d already got the likes of What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? and The Basketball Diaries on his CV, but this collaboration with Baz Luhrmann is what truly sent him into the stratosphere and had him planted on the walls of bedrooms the world over. If you miss it tonight, Romeo + Juliet is also available to watch on Disney+ in Ireland and the UK.
