Driving Miss Daisy (HBO Sunday at 9 a.m., again at 9 p.m.; Cinemax Tuesday at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.; Cinemax Thursday at 5:45 p.m. and midnight; HBO Saturday at 2 p.m.), the 1989 hit skillfully brought to the screen by director Bruce Beresford and the play’s writer Alfred Uhry, gave Jessica Tandy a well-deserved Oscar last year as a cranky Atlanta widow, who over a 25-year-period (starting in 1948) gradually develops a tender friendship with her endlessly patient chauffeur (Morgan Freeman).

Dr. No (TBS Monday at 5:05 p.m.). The first and one of the best of the James Bond thrillers (1963) kicks off a 12-film series of OO7 movies airing this week on TBS. Starring Sean Connery and Ursula Andress.

Raising Arizona (Cinemax Monday at 6:30 p.m., Showtime Saturday at 4:30 p.m.), Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1987 film, is an hilarious off-the-wall comedy which finds Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter as a goofy, oddball couple who steal one of a set of quintuplets.

Hester Street (A&E; Tuesday at 9 a.m.) Joan Micklin Silver’s charming 1975 film, set in a meticulously re-created 1896 Lower East Side of New York, stars Carol Kane, who comes from the Old Country only to discover her husband (Steven Keats) has taken on brash and baffling American ways.

The Southerner (Channel 56 Saturday at 8 p.m.) This 1945 film is one of the best of Jean Renoir’s American films, a compassionate but unsentimental account of a poor farm family’s struggle for survival; adapted from George Session Perry’s “Hold Autumn in Your Hand” and starring Zachary Scott.
