Touch and Go (Channel 7 Monday at 1:30 a.m.): This nifty 1986 contemporary love story is one of Michael Keaton’s best but most overlooked pictures. Keaton is a Chicago hockey star who gets hooked on a scrappy street kid (Ajay Naidu) and then the kid’s proud, beautiful mother (Maria Conchita Alonso). (1:40)

Dracula (TMC Monday at 8:30 a.m.): Despite having been directed by Tod Browning, the classic 1931 version of the oft-told horror tale suffers from a poor script, a deservedly forgotten supporting cast and a stately pace better suited to silent films. But it does have the suavely sinister Bela Lugosi and superb cinematography by Karl Freund. (1:30)

Frankenstein (TMC Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.): Of Universal’s two 1931 horror classics, “Frankenstein” is far more satisfying. Boris Karloff’s man-made monster is timeless in its poignance and the tempo of the film, directed by James Whale, is briskly modern. (1:30)
