Movies to Tape

Detour (Z Sunday at 1 p.m.): Edgar Ulmer’s relentlessly entertaining 1945 film noir with Tom Neal and Ann Savage is a B-movie classic. (1:08)

Rashomon (Bravo Monday at 9 p.m.): The 1951 Kurosawa period classic in which an incident in a forest is presented from four different points of view. (1:30)

Cutter’s Way (Movie Channel Monday at 10 p.m.): Ivan Passer’s unjustly neglected 1981 film which deals with the plight of the Vietnam vet in the context of a Ross Macdonald-like mystery story. (1:45)

Stagecoach (TBS Wednesday at 9:20 p.m.): The 1939 John Ford Western classic is such a masterpiece of timeless storytelling that once you start watching, it’s almost impossible to turn away. (2:00)

Hail, Mary (Bravo Saturday at 9 p.m.): Jean-Luc Godard’s contemporary re-telling of the story of Mary and Joseph stirred considerable controversy when it was released in 1985, but it actually is rather touching instead of blasphemous. (1:47)
