The Oscar-winning '90s movie also inspired a great TV show.
Staying in this Saturday night? Not a problem, as there are plenty of great movies playing on the box this evening to keep you entertained.
Let's run through them.

Fury - ITV 4 - 10pm
Speaking of war films, this hard-hitting drama stars Brad Pitt as a tank commander who, along with his crew, fights his way across Germany in April, 1945.
Fargo - TG4 - 10.45pm
Our pick for tonight is this '90s crime thriller from filmmaking duo Joel and Ethan Coen. It centres around pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) who investigates a crime involving a car salesman (William H. Macy) and the two criminal henchmen (Peter Stormare, Steve Buscemi) he has become involved with.
Thanks to its note-perfect performances by its ensemble cast and the Coen Brothers' incredible dialogue and command of tone, Fargo somehow manages to be unflinchingly tense and horrifying, yet also hilarious and surprisingly humane at the same time.
It's down to this mix that the movie earned two Oscars, one for best original screenplay and one for McDormand in the best actress category. It also spawned a hit TV show of the same name which has run for four seasons.
