These are the eight best movies on TV tonight

Rory Cashin

A very decent selection to get your week off to a great start.

Michael Fassbender, Robin Williams, Jennifer Lawrence, Matt Damon, and loads more are in our picks of the best movies on TV tonight. The most difficult decision is picking which one you’re gonna watch!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – FilmFour – 6.10pm

The second (and definitely best) entry in the Hunger Games series finds Jennifer Lawrence heading back into the murder arena for a celebratory battle, while the world watches on and the beginnings of a rebellion begin to rumble.

The Bourne Ultimatum – ITV4 – 9pm

The third (and arguably best) entry in the Bourne movies sees him coming “back home”, i.e. to the headquarters where all of the trained assassins have come from in his program, in order to get answers once and for all.

Pacific Rim: Uprising – FilmFour – 9pm

Years after the big sea monsters flattened a lot of major cities but where defeated by giant mech suits, the interdimensional threat returns, and it is up to John Boyega and a few other fighter pilots to save the world.

One Hour Photo – TG4 – 9.30pm

Robin Williams is the technician at a photo processing store, and he begins to develop (photography joke, nailed it) a strong fixation on one of his customers, based on nothing more than the pictures she brings into his store. One of those dark thrillers that once again proved Williams was capable of more than just being one of the best comedians in Hollywood.

Patriot’s Day – FilmFour – 11.10pm

Based on the true story of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mark Wahlberg plays a police officer who gets caught up in the manhunt for the people behind the terrorist attack.

Breakdown – TCM – 11.10pm

Kurt Russell is on a cross-country drive with his wife, when she suddenly goes missing, and the only man who might know her whereabouts claims to have never met him or his wife. A fantastic, intense thriller.

Final Destination 5 – ITV4 – 11.15pm

A surprisingly fun and clever entry in the foreshadowed death horror franchise sees a group of survivors from a bridge collapse being picked off one by one in increasingly bizarre accidents, but they believe they’ve found a way to cheat death entirely.

Shame – FilmFour – 1.50am

Powerful and amazingly acted drama featuring Michael Fassbender as a man dealing with sex addiction, and how it impacts on his day-to-day life, and his relationship with his sister, played by Carey Mulligan.
