Every day on The Rewind, we scour the listings to find the best movies available for you to settle down with each evening. The midweek fare is generally sparse enough, but we feel we've found five decent films on TV for you to choose from tonight.
There's an all time classic in the early evening all the way through to a flawed but watchable "Troubles" film set in mid-70s Belfast.
