It may not be the weekend yet but who says you can’t relax on the sofa with a good movie.
Here’s what’s on the box this Thursday (13 January).
How the West Was Won – BBC Four – 8pm
This 1962 Western is generally considered to be one of Hollywood’s greatest epics.
The Living Daylights – ITV4 – 8pm
The first of two Bond flicks in which Timothy Dalton played 007.
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner – True Movies – 9pm
Hollywood legend Sidney Poitier, who passed away last week, stars in this groundbreaking ’60s romantic comedy-drama.

Fire Down Below – Turner Classic Movies – 9pm
Steven Seagal stars in this critically panned eco-action flick.
The Sisters Brothers – BBC Four – 10.25pm
Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly are the leads in this sadly underseen western which puts a fresh spin on a classic genre.
Vivarium – Film4 – 10.45pm
In our pick for tonight, a young couple (Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg) looking to buy a home find themselves trapped in a mysterious labyrinth-like neighbourhood of identical houses and forced to raise a child.

Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren face-off in this decent ’90s sci-fi action flick that launched a franchise.

Another sci-fi flick, this time with Tom Cruise, Oblivion is slightly derivative yet worth watching for its stunning visuals.
Eyes of Laura Mars – True Movies – 11.10pm
Filmmaker John Carpenter pens this American take on Italian giallo horror which stars Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones.
The Gift – Film4 – 12.40am
If you’re still up, this gripping stalker thriller written, directed by and starring Joel Edgerton is well worth a watch.
