The first week of November rolls on.
It’s the weekend. Get in.
Weird week though, what with the Bank Holiday and Halloween and all.
If your head is spinning, perhaps a night on the couch in front of the box is in order.
With that in mind, here are eight (8) movies to pick from on this Friday 2 November…
The Goonies – TCM – 7.45pm
A classic.
Think you know it, though? Take our quiz…
Ghost – Universal TV – 9pm
Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore take up clay pottery.
Fast & Furious 6 – E4 – 9pm
Pretty sure this is on TV every night at this stage.
Drugstore Cowboy – TG4 – 9.35pm
Matt Dillion broods about the place in this slow-burning late 80s crime drama.
A Walk Among the Tombstones – RTÉ 2 – 9.45pm
Liam Neeson broods about the place in this quirky and sometimes very dark detective potboiler from a few years back.
Much like the source material, it’s workmanlike stuff but Neeson really makes it shine.
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans – Virgin Media One – 10pm
Nicolas Cage amped all the way up to 11. You have been warned.
Man on Fire – Film 4 – 10.55pm
Denzel Washington’s absolute greatest performance?
For more, here’s Paul Moore on why the 2004 thriller is such a bloody masterpiece.
Gremlins – RTÉ One – 1am
Don’t feed after midnight and all that, but by all means you can watch them cause havoc.
