2001: A Space Odyssey (TNT Sunday at 1 p.m.) Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling, confounding 1968 sci-fi classic contemplates the likelihood of intelligent life elsewhere in space and time--or out of it. Written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke.
Niagara (AMC Sunday at 6:30 p.m., again at 1 a.m.). Steamy, vibrant 1953 melodrama starring Marilyn Monroe and involving blackmail and a dramatic Niagara Falls setting. Directed by Henry Hathaway.
Fiddler on the Roof (Channel 7 Monday at 1 a.m.) Norman Jewison’s glorious 1971 film of the Jerry Bock-Sheldon Harnick musical takes us right into the turn-of-the-century Ukrainian village of Sholem Aleichem’s “Tevye and His Daughters” and sweeps us into a changing world.
The Awful Truth (TMC Monday at 4:20 a.m.) A number of rarely seen early Irene Dunne films are screening this week, but this archetypal ‘30s screwball comedy shows the versatile Dunne, who died recently, at her comic best. With Cary Grant and Ralph Bellamy.
