The Manchurian Candidate (KTLA Sunday at 8 p.m., Tuesday at 1:30 a.m.): John Frankenheimer’s taut, tragically prophetic political thriller from Richard Condon’s convoluted novel. With Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, Angela Lansbury; a ‘60s classic. (2:40)
Blow-Up (TMC Monday at 2:25 a.m.): Another key film of the ‘60s, Michelangelo Antonioni’s spins a fantasy/reality fable in Mod London, focusing on a fabulously successful, ultra-chic fashion photographer (David Hemmings) who may have stumbled upon a murder--and how it affects his life. (1:55)
While the City Sleeps (TNT Tuesday at 11:50 p.m.): This 1956 Fritz Lang film, one of the director’s favorites among his American pictures, has echoes of “M” as police and reporters pursue a crazed killer (John Barrymore Jr.). With Dana Andrews, Ida Lupino, Rhonda Fleming, George Sanders, Vincent Price, Thomas Mitchell, Sally Forrest, Howard Duff, Mae Marsh. (2:10)
The Brothers Mozart (Bravo Saturday at 9 p.m.): A staging of “Don Giovanni” raises the serious question of how do you make Mozart--or Shakespeare, for that matter--come alive and still be true to his spirit?--amid much crackling in this zesty 1988 Swedish film directed by Suzanne Osten. (2:00)
8 1/2 (Channel 28 Saturday at midnight): The glorious, sweeping and sensual 1963 Fellini film in which his alter-ego Marcello Mastroianni plays a famous film director in the midst of a career crisis. (2:20)
