Your Tuesday night movie menu has arrived!

Netflix has just added one of the most controversial movies of recent years, but if you’re looking for something else movie-wise, here are the best, and worst, and most average, movies that you can check out on TV tonight:

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home – FilmFour – 6.45pm

The one where they go back in time to save some space whales. One of the best ones.

Homefront – Sky Showcase – 9pm

Jason Statham plays a retired DEA agent who is trying to live a peaceful life, but things don’t go according to plan when he crosses paths with a local drug dealer (James Franco).

Speed 2: Cruise Control – ITV4 – 9pm

One of the worst sequels of all time. Almost so-bad-its-good. Almost.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade – FilmFour – 9pm

Arguably the best in the Indiana movies, with Harrison Ford perfectly paired with Sean Connery as a grumpy Jones Sr.

Scary Movie 2 – Comedy Central – 9pm

Kicks off with James Woods doing a pastiche of The Exorcist. All down hill from there. Both for this movie and the entire Scary Movie franchise.

Phantom Thread – BBC Two – 11.15pm

Our main pick for tonight features the final performance of Daniel Day Lewis, the greatest living actor in cinema, before his self-imposed retirement.

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood), Phantom Thread tells the story of a perfectionist fashion designer (Day-Lewis), the waitress (Vicky Krieps) who becomes his lover and his muse, and his sister (Lesley Manville) who tries to come between them.

Gorgeously acted and surprisingly very darkly funny, Phantom Thread is an absolute must-watch.

The Kid – FilmFour – 11.35pm

A not-great Western starring Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio and Dane DeHaan, retelling the story of Billy The Kid from a different point of view.

Behind Enemy Lines – ITV4 – 12.45am

Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman star in this OTT action thriller about an American fighter pilot who crash lands… yep… behind enemy lines.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier – FilmFour – 1.40am

One of the worst ones, with a villainous space terrorist killing space diplomats in order to find … space god?
