John Huston’s dazzling Prizzi’s Honor (ABC Sunday at 8 p.m.) is like “The Maltese Falcon” set in Brooklyn and done as an Italian opera; it’s a resoundingly comic love story with sobering underpinnings. Jack Nicholson is a raffish Mafia hit man caught between the sultry Kathleen Turner and the aggressive Anjelica Huston. One of Huston’s very best.

Rancho Deluxe (Channel 13 Sunday at 8 p.m.) is that offbeat, under-appreciated 1975 comedy-Western starring Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston as a pair of contemporary, small-time rustlers.

Director Fred Schepisi and writer-star Steve Martin’s Roxanne (CBS Sunday at 9 p.m.) updates “Cyrano de Bergerac” with much humor, charm and poignancy; Daryl Hannah is a delight in the title role.

Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman (NBC Sunday at 9 p.m.) is a TV movie repeat that finds Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner trying to foil an assassination attempt at the “Russian/American Unity Games.”

Although the 1984 Teachers (Channel 5 Monday at 8 p.m.) suffers from awkward shifts between satire and slapstick and the intensely earnest and heart-tugging, it does cut to the core of classroom malaise. Directed by Arthur Hiller, the film is held together by the all-out performance by Nick Nolte as a weary but still conscientious social-studies teacher.

From Here to Eternity (Channel 13 Monday at 8 p.m.) is Fred Zinnemann’s 1953 classic from the James Jones novel about military life in Honolulu. Burt Lancaster stars.

Cannery Row (Channel 5 Tuesday at 8 p.m.) is another instance when Nick Nolte is better than the film, a loving and gentle adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel which plays well but lacks punch. Nolte, however, is a splendid Doc, strong yet kindly, lonely but determined to be his own man.

Reckless (Channel 5 Wednesday at 8 p.m.) afforded Aidan Quinn a flashy 1984 film debut in that year’s Brando-Dean role as a surly, inarticulate but vulnerable rebel in a bleak Pennsylvania steel town. Quinn and local rich girl Daryl Hannah work up a steamy romance but the film is essentially fantasy.

Margot Kidder was never better than in Donald Shebib’s warm and funny 1981 Heartaches (Channel 11 Wednesday at 8 p.m.) as a gaudy, man-crazy peroxide blonde factory worker. Holding their own, however, are co-stars Annie Potts and Robert Carradine.

Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm (Channel 5 Thursday at 8 p.m.) is a thoroughly scary experience that centers on two young brothers menaced by a creepy undertaker.

In the chilling The Entity (Channel 5 Friday at 8 p.m.), Barbara Hershey is outstanding as an already struggling single parent caught in a battle between psychiatrists and parapsychologists over the true nature of a mysterious evil force besieging her.

Dog Day Afternoon (Channel 13 Friday at 8 p.m.), one of director Sidney Lumet’s best, stars Al Pacino as a bombastic, none-too-bright loser desperate to finance a sex-change operation for his lover (Chris Sarandon).

Although little known, Robert M. Young’s Alambrista! (Channel 28 Friday at 11:30 p.m.), a raw, unforgettable account of the plight of a Mexican illegal alien, is one of the key American films of the past 15 years.

Prince of the City (Channel 13 Saturday at 8 p.m.), one of Sidney Lumet’s worst, stars a miscast Treat Williams as an NYPD detective whose decision to inform on his corrupt colleagues raises a thicket of moral issues, handled heavily.

Mariette Hartley excels as the founder of Mothers Against Drunk Driving in the fine 1983 TV movie M.A.D.D.: The Candy Lightner Story (Channel 7 Saturday at 9 p.m.).

Fernando Solanas’ Tangos: The Exile of Gardel (Channel 28 Saturday at 10 p.m.) is a sensual, bittersweet 1985 study of a group of Argentine exiles living in Paris and rehearsing a show inspired by the haunting music of Carlos Gardel, the legendary tango singer.
