It’s got a huge cult following.
If you’re looking for a distraction from whatever result happens in the Euros final tonight, then you’re in luck as there are some great movies on TV.
Our pick of the bunch will definitely have you engrossed in the action – Point Break.
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, the 1992 film stars Keanu Reeves as FBI agent Johnny Utah, who infiltrates a gang of bank-robbing surfers led by the enigmatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze).
All doesn’t go to plan however when Utah finds himself in deep with the gang and forges a complex relationship with Bodhi and local waitress Tyler (Lori Petty).
The film is as 90s as it can get and features a heavy amount of surfer-bro nostalgia, with a great soundtrack featuring the likes of Jimmy Hendrix, Ice-T and Sheryl Crow.
On top of that, many have praised the great central relationship between the two leads, as well as thrilling action sequences that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.
If you want to check out Point Break, it’s on BBC One at 11.10pm.
