Que Viva Mexico! (Bravo Monday at 11 p.m.): This is a fascinating assemblage of Sergei Eisenstein’s aborted 1932 poetic epic of Mexican peasantry. (1:30)
The Best Years of Our Lives (TNT Thursday at 5 p.m.): The key to this enduring William Wyler-Samuel Goldwyn postwar classic is that it touches upon timeless themes of homecoming and family relationships and that its three very different returning soldiers--Fredric March, Harold Russell and Dana Andrews--allow for wide identification. (3:45)
Danton (A&E; early Sunday at 1 a.m.): Bleakly beautiful and richly detailed, Andrzej Wajda’s 1982 film is an electrifying depiction of a society hurtling toward chaos. Gerard Depardieu is superb in the title role as the boisterous and earthy revolutionary. (3:00)
