If you're stuck over what to watch this weekend, then look no further as we've rounded up 5 great movies that are showing on TV.
From a "tense" thriller based on a real-life serial killer case to a classic '90s psychological horror adapted from a Stephen King novel, there is an embarrassment of riches to watch out for.
Here's what to keep an eye on.
Boston Strangler
Black Doves' Keira Knightley and The White Lotus' Carrie Coon star in this 2023 movie as the real-life journalists who broke the story of the infamous Boston Strangler serial killer in the 1960s, while also challenging the sexism of the period.
Writer and director Matt Ruskin's movie was called "tense" and "absorbing" by TIME, while The Age said the two lead stars were "an excellent pairing".
The Brutalist's Alessandro Nivola, The Suicide Squad's David Dastmalchian, The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector and The Queen's Gambit's Bill Camp also star.
What to Read Next
Airing Saturday at 10pm on Channel 4. Available afterwards on Channel 4.
Terminator: Dark Fate
This 2019 sequel sees Linda Hamilton return to the Terminator franchise as Sarah Connor alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular machine.
Taking place two and a half decades after Judgment Day, Connor must stop an advanced Terminator from killing a young girl, and Hamilton and Schwarzenegger are joined in the cast by Mackenzie Davis and Natalia Reyes.
While Dark Fate was a box office bomb, it fared better with critics – sitting at a solid 70% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes – with Digital Spy saying that "you'll be guzzling [popcorn] for all two hours and eight minutes as you sit on the edge of your seat, rooting for the good gals to win".
Airing Sunday morning at 12.05am on Channel 4.
Legend
Tom Hardy stars in the dual roles of London gangsters Ronnie and Reggie Kray in this 2015 action biopic, which traces their career in the 1960s and their eventual imprisonment.
Legend sits at a solid 60% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Observer calling it a "brash, cartoonish affair" that is "happy to bask in the reflected glory of its subjects’ bizarre cultural icon status".
Alongside Hardy, the movie also stars The Affair's Emily Browning, The Sandman's David Thewlis and Doctor Who's Christopher Eccleston.
Airing Saturday at 11.55pm on BBC One. Available afterwards on BBC iPlayer.
Misery
Based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, 1990's Misery focuses on a famed author who is involved in a car crash, only to be held captive by an obsessive fan of his novels before a violent nightmare begins to unfold.
Kathy Bates won an Oscar for her performance as the chilling Annie Wilkes in the movie, which Nerdspin said "remains a classic must-watch", starring opposite The Godfather's James Caan.
Airing Sunday at 10pm on BBC Two. Available afterwards on BBC iPlayer.
War for the Planet of the Apes
The third movie in the rebooted Planet of the Apes series takes place two years after Dawn of the Planet of the Apes as humans and apes fight in a full-blown war, with Andy Serkis returning as a chimpanzee leader Caesar alongside new cast additions Woody Harrelson and Steve Zahn.
Like its predecessors, War for the Planet of the Apes received acclaim, sitting at a near-perfect score of 94% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with MovieFreak calling it "one of the great summertime tentpole adventures in recent memory".
Airing Sunday at 10.15pm on ITV1. Available afterwards on ITVX.
