Delusion (Cinemax Monday at 8 p.m.) Carl Colpaert’s stylish and amusing 1991 B picture finds a young businessman (Jim Metzler) driving down a desert highway when he gives a ride to a disheveled couple (Jennifer Rubin, Kyle Secor), whom have just wrecked their car. A nifty genre film.

The Nasty Girl (Cinemax Thursday at 8 p.m.) Michael Verhoeven has spun a wicked and lively 1990 pitch-black satirical comedy from the actual story of a young woman (played zestfully by Lena Stolze) who enters a political essay contest on the subject, “My Hometown During the Third Reich,” only to turn unexpectedly into an irrepressible Nazi hunter.

Blue Desert (Cinemax Friday at 8 p.m.) With this taut and terrific 1991 release, writer-director Bradley Battersby finds disturbing contemporary implications in a classic lady-in-distress thriller plot. Courteney Cox stars as a comic-strip artist who intends to get away from it all in a sleepy desert community only to cross paths with two very different men, Craig Sheffer’s scruffy, scraggly-haired drifter and D.B. Sweeney’s well-mannered, clean-cut local cop.
