Every day here on the Rewind, we scrawl through the TV listings to find you the best films on TV on a given day.
As always on a Sunday, there is a huge collection of films to choose from across the stations, but sadly, the quality just isn't there in most offerings. RTE One's mid-afternoon selection of Getting Even with Dad probably sums this up. It had the worst Rotten Tomatoes score we've seen in just 3%.
We have fought through the dross though (and there's plenty of it!) to find what we think are the best or most enjoyable 11 films available today. Some are classics, some are just a bit of craic.
As usual, all of these films are available on non subscription channels, though may not be on all platforms.
