For Your Eyes Only (ABC Sunday at 8:30 p.m.) stars Roger Moore as James Bond and is crammed with a stunt man’s manual of the most preposterous and dazzling works. The frail but serviceable plot has something to do with the raising of a sunken British spy ship from its watery tomb off Albania.

A Place to Call Home (CBS Sunday at 9 p.m.) is a so-so 1987 TV movie which lands Linda Lavin and her 11 kids on an Australian sheep ranch.

The Taking of Flight 847: The Uli Derickson Story (NBC Sunday at 9 p.m.) is a taut, harrowing 1988 TV movie, directed by Paul Wendkos from Norman Morrill’s script, which reenacts the 1985 hijacking of a TWA flight from Athens to Rome from the point of view of a German-born flight attendant, well played by Lindsay Wagner.

Continental Divide (Channel 13 Monday at 8 p.m.) tries to cast John Belushi and Blair Brown in a Tracy-Hepburn romance of clashing careers, but fails to resolve their dilemma satisfactorily.

The Ann Jillian Story (NBC Monday at 9 p.m.) is a 1988 TV biography in which Jillian plays herself in her successful battle against cancer.

‘night, Mother (ABC Monday at 9 p.m.), the disappointing 1986 film of the remarkable Marsha Norman play about a defeated daughter insisting to her mother on her right to commit suicide, stars Sissy Spacek and Anne Bancroft, both miscast.

David Lynch’s The Elephant Man (Channel 13 Wednesday at 8 p.m., again on Saturday at 10 p.m.) is one of the key films of the ‘80s, a breathtakingly sensitive and deeply moving account of a hideously deformed young man (a remarkable John Hurt) who nonetheless beguiles us with his intelligence and gentleness.

Belizaire the Cajun (Channels 28 and 15 Wednesday at 9 p.m.) is an example of regional film making at its fuzziest and most self-indulgent. Armand Assante stars in a murky tale about a Cajun healer who leads his people to resist their Anglo oppressors in Louisiana, 1859; why the Anglos are such villains is unclear as is much else about this 1986 film.

Mass Appeal (Channel 5 Thursday at 8 p.m.) is a mechanical, stage-bound drama starring Jack Lemmon in a showy role as an alcoholic priest trying to cope with a seminary gadfly (Zeljko Ivanek) and a hidebound monsignor (Charles Durning).

At the core of Neil Jordan’s dazzling The Company of Wolves (Channel 11 Thursday at 8 p.m.) is “Little Red Riding Hood” as we might have dreamed it, rapturously detailed, sparkling with deja vu. Yet by the time this distinctive 1986 film is over we have been treated to a lavish fugue on the themes of childhood, wolves, eroticism and myth. Angela Lansbury stars as Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother.

Running Brave (Channel 5 Friday at 8 p.m.) is an engaging 1983 biography of Lt. Billy Mills (Robby Benson), a Native American who won the gold medal in the 10,000-meter run in the 1964 Olympics.

The late Sam Peckinpah brought plenty of drive, force and personality to The Osterman Weekend (Channel 11 Friday at 8 p.m.), but the 1972 Robert Ludlum paranoid spy thriller was dated by the time Peckinpah got to film it in 1983.

Altered States (Channel 13 Friday at 8 p.m.), the trouble-plagued 1980 Ken Russell film of Paddy Chayefsky’s novel, is science fiction that moves from the not-impossible to the wholly preposterous in Guinness-record time; William Hurt made his film debut as a Harvard MD into sensory deprivation.

Ghost of a Chance (CBS Friday at 9 p.m.), a 1987 TV movie, teams Dick Van Dyke and Redd Foxx in a routine fantasy.

Paternity (NBC Friday at 9 p.m.) stars Burt Reynolds as a self-centered, inconsiderate type who decides it’s worth $50,000 to pay someone to bear his child; the trouble is that this guy changes scarcely a whit by the finish.

All Fall Down (Channel 5 Saturday at 8 p.m.) is the fine 1962 John Frankenheimer-William Inge study of the impact of a no-good but magnetic young man (Warren Beatty) upon those who love him.

The Legend of Hell House (Channel 9 Saturday at 8 p.m.) is a superior horror film, written by Richard Matheson and starring Roddy McDowall.

Fanny and Alexander (Channel 28 Saturday at 10 p.m.), Ingmar Bergman’s great 1983 farewell to the screen, is a turn-of-the-century family saga centering on two children whose happy existence is swiftly terminated when their mother remarries.
