It's the first Sunday of the year, the last embers of the Christmas buzz are burning out and we're all being asked to stay at home. The perfect excuse to kick back with some movies on TV.
Tonight, there are plenty of goofball comedies that will raise a few chuckles with a bit of action and an Irish favourite thrown in for good measure. It's freezing out so pour yourself a hot cup of whatever you're having and enjoy. In chronological order, these are the best movies on TV for Sunday, January 3....
