Sure why wouldn’t you watch a movie on a Friday evening?
The weather is crap, we’re all stuck indoors.
Watch a movie.
Unless you’re not interested in The Late Late Show, these may be the movies for you.
The Da Vinci Code – Dave – 9pm
The iconic mystery thriller starring Tom Hanks. Directed by Ron Howard and based on the well-known Dan Brown novel.
It – ITV2 – 9pm
A properly scary movie about the terrifying clown Pennywise. “You’ll float too.”
Rocky II – TCM – 9pm
Rocky vs Apollo. Round 2. A rematch for the ages. What a movie.
The Crying Game – RTÉ2 – 9.40pm
Neil Jordan deservedly won an Oscar for this tale of a British soldier kidnapped by IRA terrorists who soon befriends one of his captors. Also referenced in a famous Father Ted scene.
Definitely worth watching if you’ve never seen it before.
Ghost – Virgin Media One – 10pm
More than just that sexy pottery scene, we promise.
Trumbo – RTÉ One – 11.35pm
Biopic of the acclaimed Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who was jailed and blacklisted in the 1940s for his left-wing political views. Anything with Bryan Cranston in the lead role is worth a watch.
The Witch – Channel4 – 00.15am
A good old fashioned horror movie, considering we are in the spooky season.
