These are the five best movies on TV for your Tuesday night in

From Tom Cruise to Alan Partridge, you've got quite a varied crew to choose from tonight.

Tuesday = Choose Day. We're going to keep making this joke every week until you laugh! Legend - FilmFour - 7.10pm Tom Cruise stars in this fantasy-romance-adventure from 1985, in which he plays a dashing knight trying to defeat a creature named Darkness (Tim Curry), who might as well be the literal devil. Taken 2 - ITV4 - 9pm After saving his daughter when she was taken in the first movie, this time it is up to the daughter to save Liam Neeson when he is kidnapped by a group of criminals. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - FilmFour - 9pm The best of the recently updated monkey-madness trilogy sees Caesar (Andy Serkis) fighting back against the dying human race, but also against a rebelling group within his own ranks, fronted by the angry, scarred Koba (Toby Kebbell). Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa - BBC Two - 11.30pm Steve Coogan returns as the iconic comedic character, this time caught in the middle of a hostage negotiation when his angry colleague (a perfectly cast Colm Meaney) takes control of an entire radio station. Stratton - FilmFour - 11.35pm Dominic Cooper stars in this action-thriller, playing an soldier who is attempting to track down an international terrorist cell.
