The Prince of Bel Air (KTLA Monday...

The Prince of Bel Air (KTLA Monday at 8 p.m.) is a pleasant though slight 1986 TV movie starring Mark Harmon as a pool cleaner who begins to think it’s time he started growing up. Kirstie Alley co-stars.

The 1975 Rooster Cogburn (KTLA Tuesday at 8 p.m.) isn’t exactly the best film John Wayne or Katharine Hepburn ever made, but it is occasionally enjoyable because it is the only picture they ever made together. The plot finds Wayne, reprising his rambunctious “True Grit” deputy marshal, riding off to catch the bad guys who murdered the minister father of spinster Hepburn.

Call Me (KCOP Tuesday at 8 p.m.) is an ambitious but flawed 1988 lady-in-distress thriller, but it’s an uneasy marriage between a pseudo-world of funky New York hip and plot structures that are almost pure Brian De Palma. Patricia Charbonneau stars as a young Manhattan photographer/reporter plagued by both an obscene phone caller and a drug gang.

John Ford’s 1939 Stagecoach (KTLA Wednesday at 8 p.m.), about a diverse group of people traveling to a frontier outpost, is so timeless and engrossing, a great Western of such visual beauty, that it should never be shown colorized (as it is here). With John Wayne, Claire Trevor, Thomas Mitchell and John Carradine.

Franc Roddam does a crisp, direct job of telling a familiar story of corruption and racism in a Southern military academy in the 1983 Lords of Discipline (KCOP Wednesday at 8 p.m.) which stars David Keith as a thoughtful compassionate cadet with a sense of what’s right. Mark Breland plays the institution’s first black cadet--and the year is 1964.

sex, lies and videotape (KTLA Thursday at 8 p.m.) Steven Soderbergh’s electrifying 1989 psycho-sexual comedy, is one of the funniest and saddest American movies since Jim Jarmusch landed straight in the middle of our consciousness. Blond and quiet-spoken, James Spader stars as a drifter who has the gift of persuading women to unburden themselves for his video camera. The film has a lacerating wit, a beautiful look and sound, bravura performances--and a terrible vein of melancholy.

D.A.R.Y.L. (KCOP Friday at 8 p.m.), a big, modern super-movie crammed with high-speed car and plane chases, explosions and video games, has a heart and even wears it on its sleeve. The trouble is that the film is too much to swallow: a “Twilight Zone”-like tale about a strange little boy (Barret Oliver) of unfathomable intelligence and skill who turns out to be a runaway robot from a Pentagon think tank.
