We're back with another dose of movie recommendations after trawling through the TV listings so you don't have to.

Tonight's line-up is definitely not as great as previous days but nonethless there are definitely a few flicks that will pass the time. We've got two spy thrillers, released 52 years apart, a futuristic sci-fi action flick and one of the greatest movies of all time.

Thunderball: ITV 4, 8pm

Year: 1965

Cast: Sean Connery, Adolfo Celi, Claudine Auger

Plot: James Bond goes in search of two NATO atomic bombs that have been stolen by Spectre. It's borderline top five James Bond movies ever and its boat fight scene in the closing stages is worth watching for alone. God bless 1960s special effects.

Rating: 88% (Rotten Tomatoes)
