One of the most rewatchable movies of the past 10 years is on TV tonight

It holds a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Set in Los Angeles in the 1970s, the movie focuses on a down-on-his-luck private eye (Gosling) and a tough enforcer for hire (Crowe) who wind up teaming together to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl (Margaret Qualley).

Co-written and directed by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), The Nice Guys' stylish period setting and witty screenplay, along with the great chemistry between its two stars, led it to earn a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score. However, it was less successful financially upon its initial release, grossing only $62.8 million on a $50 million budget.

Despite this, though, the film has attracted a devoted cult following in the seven years since it arrived in cinemas, with many calling for a sequel. Appearing on KFC Radio to promote his new horror The Pope's Exorcist, Crowe was asked about a Nice Guys follow-up, to which he replied:

Crowe even said he and Gosling had come up with a title for a potential sequel that used to make them "laugh".

"I don't know what this means. I don't know what the plot is. Don't ask me for any details," he explained.

"But if we were going to do a second one, we wanted to call it: Nice Guys: Mexican Detectives.

"It's me, Ryan. Somehow we've got to pretend we're Mexican detectives."

Crowe was also full of praise for Gosling, calling him "one of the greatest comedians" he has ever met. The Oscar-winner said that while he prides himself on being able to stay focused while filming scenes, Gosling often made him corpse.

"He can just wind me up. He can get me, not just laughing, he gets me giggling like I'm in f*****g primary school," he said.

"He is so absurd, his humour, and his timing is so beautiful."

The Nice Guys airs tonight on BBC One at 11.35pm.
