Honkytonk Man (Channel 13 Sunday at 6 p.m.) is one of Clint Eastwood’s best. Taking a breather from action films in this 1982 effort, Eastwood directs himself as an ailing, down-and-out Depression-era country singer struggling to make it to the Grand Ole Opry before he dies.

The 1985 Not My Kid (Channel 9 Sunday at 8 p.m.), starring George Segal and Stockard Channing, is one of the most effective TV movies to deal with teen-agers and drugs.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (ABC Sunday at 8:30 p.m.) features Ricardo Montalban as a fine, hiss-inspiring villain and captures the spirit of the TV series.

The 1989 TV movie Bridge to Silence (CBS Sunday at 9 p.m.) is a moving and intriguing but ultimately disappointing drama about a young woman (Marlee Matlin) retreating into her soundless world and engaged in a bitter and hostile relationship with her mother (Lee Remick).

Even though only a portion of the Joe Eszterhas story could be filmed, the 1978 F.I.S.T. (Channel 5 Monday at 8 p.m.) remains one of director Norman Jewison’s best films, starring Sylvester Stallone as an initially idealistic Jimmy Hoffa-like labor leader.

The quirky and sweet Babycakes (CBS Tuesday at 9 p.m.), a 1989 TV movie remake of Percy Adlon’s German film “Sugarbaby,” stars Ricki Lake as an overweight mortuary cosmetician who fearlessly pursues the slim and handsome man of her dreams (Craig Sheffer).

Tough Guys Don’t Dance (Channel 5 Wednesday at 8 p.m.), Norman Mailer’s strange, erratic but often brilliant 1987 film noir comedy, stars Ryan O’Neal as a loser who can’t remember whether he committed murder.

Last Embrace (Channel 11 Wednesday at 8 p.m.) is Jonathan Demme’s bravura 1979 Hitchcock homage, with Roy Scheider and Christopher Walken.

Sam Peckinpah’s weary yet wise Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (Channel 11 Thursday at 8 p.m.) risks self-parody in a violent 1974 tale of revenge offset by a tender love story, played beautifully by Warren Oates (never more clearly a Peckinpah alter ego) and earthy Isela Vega.

There’s roundness of character, a brush of reality and a sense of continuous surprise that lifts the 1973 gangster picture The Outfit (Channel 11 Friday at 8 p.m.) out of the ordinary. Robert Duvall and Robert Ryan star.

The Return of Sam McCloud (CBS Friday at 9 p.m.), a 1989 TV movie, finds Dennis Weaver’s maverick marshal now a senator caught up in a fight to protect the environment against chemical pollution.

Weaver is far better than the script of 1983’s Cocaine: One Man’s Seduction (Channel 9 Saturday at 8 p.m.), playing a real estate agent caught up in drug addiction.

Michael Ritchie’s The Candidate (Channel 13 Saturday at 8 p.m.) remains one of the best movies about politics in the age of jets and TV. Robert Redford is a Kennedyesque lawyer competing in a California senatorial race.

While the 1934 version of The Man Who Knew Too Much (Channel 28 Saturday at 9 p.m.) is entertaining in its own right, it is of most interest in revealing how greatly Hitchcock improved upon himself in the 1956 remake.
