Pick of the Day
Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves, Paramount+/Sky Cinema Premiere
Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Jesse Smith, Sophia Lillis, Chloe Coleman and Hugh Grant star in this fantasy adventure.
It’s the tale of a charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers who undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.
This isn’t the first film to be based on the popular fantasy role-playing game – but by most accounts it’s the best.
Don’t Miss
The Big Country, 8.30pm, TG4
Classic William Wyler Western, starring Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston (in a rare supporting role), Jean Simmons, Burl Ives and Carroll Baker.
Peck plays a naive sea captain who learns a harsh lesson in cowboy lore when he becomes embroiled in a family feud. And we all know how much cowboys love their guns.
Tensions are running high between his future father-in-law and a hillbilly clan over the thorny issue of water rights - and neither party is impressed by the newcomer when he refuses to take sides.
Burl Ives won an Oscar, but the greatest thing about this film is its unforgettable theme tune. Arguably the finest in cinema’s history.
La La Land, 9.40pm, RTÉ2
Damien Chazelle's Bafta-winning musical, starring Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling and John Legend, is good fun and quite iconic - but it's no match for The Greatest Showman, for example.
Jobbing actress Mia and struggling jazz pianist Sebastian fall in love and attempt to realise their respective dreams in Los Angeles - a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts.
But keeping the wolf from the door without compromising their beliefs proves harder than expected.

Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie, Apple TV+
Charles Schulz created the Peanuts gang over 70 years ago - but the cartoon strip and its crew of characters remain hugely popular.
And it's always been about more than Charlie Brown and Peanuts, and this special looks at one of the more minor players: Peppermint Patty's perma-pal Marcie.
"We’ve always known her as Peppermint Patty’s sidekick," says director Raymond S. Persi. "Someone who’s always there to help Peppermint Patty in whatever she’s doing.
"So in this special we get a chance to focus on Marcie and see her mindset. We dive a little deeper into that aspect of Marcie, the person who really, really wants to help out and do good things in the world.
"But who isn’t looking for the spotlight."
