The weekend is here, which means it's time to sit back and enjoy what TV has to offer.
Thankfully, there are a number of great movies showing across the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 – from a "pulsating" Tom Hanks thriller to one of Daniel Craig's best Bond outings.
Here, Digital Spy has rounded-up five of the best.
Skyfall
Daniel Craig's third outing as 007 was seen as a return to form after Quantum of Solace, and follows the spy as he faces off against villain Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem), who has set out to get M (Judi Dench).
Directed by Sam Mendes and hitting locations from Shanghai to Scotland, Skyfall also takes a rare delve into the spy's backstory for a huge denouement.
The movie is Craig's second-highest-rated Bond outing on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as the fifth overall, and also marks the franchise debuts of Ben Whishaw as Q, Naomie Harris as Moneypenny and Ralph Fiennes as Gareth Mallory.
What to Read Next
Airing Saturday on ITV1 at 9pm. Available on ITVX afterwards.
Captain Phillips
This 2013 movie tells the true story of the titular merchant mariner, who along with his crew was taken hostage by a group of Somali pirates.
Tom Hanks takes on the role of Richard Phillips, while Barkhad Abdi won a BAFTA and was Oscar-nominated for his role as lead pirate Abduwali Muse.
The Hollywood Reporter described the movie as a "pulsating account" of the story, while The Observer noted its "action aesthetics and nail-biting, gut-wrenching tension", with the movie itself sitting at an impressive 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Airing Saturday on BBC One at 10.35pm. Available on BBC iPlayer afterwards.
Pan's Labyrinth
Guillermo del Toro's 2006 masterpiece blends fantasy and reality as 10-year-old Ofelia goes to live with her evil stepfather during the Francoist regime in Spain.
There, Ofelia meets a number of magical creatures – including a faun, who guides her through a number of tasks, believing she is the reincarnation of a mythological princess.
The movie won huge acclaim, sitting at 95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with the Associated Press calling it a "terrifying, visually wondrous fairy tale for adults that blends fantasy and gloomy drama into one of the most magical films to come along in years".
Airing Sunday morning on BBC Two at 1.10am. Available on BBC iPlayer afterwards.
Copshop
Starring Gerard Butler and Frank Grillo, action movie Copshop focuses on a con artist on the run from an assassin, who devises a scheme to get locked up in a small town's police station.
However, things take a turn when the hitman manages to get into the detention himself, while the arrival of a rival assassin creates further mayhem.
Digital Spy said that the 2021 Joe Carnahan movie is "aware enough of its tone to (mostly) hit the mark of what fans would want from it – and sometimes that's more than enough" in our review, while the film has an impressive 83% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Airing Saturday on Channel 4 at 11.20pm. Available on Channel 4 afterwards.
Thirteen Lives
Released in 2022, this biographical drama tells the true story of the 2018 Thai cave rescue, which drew global headlines after 12 boys and their assistant coach were trapped in a cave for 18 days.
The movie retelling, which features Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton, drew acclaim when it was released, the Austin Chronicle calling it "a beautiful depiction of the power of working together for hope".
"The filmmaking itself ultimately comes off more procedural than soaring, but also refreshingly stripped of the cloying or sentimental: a remarkable story torn from true life, and faithfully told," added Entertainment Weekly.
Airing Sunday on BBC Two at 10pm. Available on BBC iPlayer afterwards.
