Brian De Palma’s stylish 1984 erotic thriller...

Brian De Palma’s stylish 1984 erotic thriller Body Double (KTLA Tuesday at 8 p.m.) made a star of Melanie Griffith, playing an appealing, down-to-earth Hollywood porn actress; Craig Wasson stars as a young actor whose voyeurism entangles him in a murder case.

The 1990 Another 48 HRS. (CBS Tuesday at 9 p.m.) teams again Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy, who made his smash debut in the 1982 “48 HRS,” but it’s just a mechanical retread of the original.

Blake Edwards’ unfunny 1987 Blind Date (KTLA Wednesday at 8 p.m.) features a beautiful woman (Kim Basinger) with no tolerance for alcohol who goes out on a blind date with a yuppie executive (Bruce Willis). Although warned about her problem, he pours her quantities of champagne and then watches in outraged dismay as she lurches out of control.

Vittorio De Sica’s unforgettable 1949 realistic classic The Bicycle Thief (KCET Wednesday at 10 p.m.) has made plenty of 10 all-time best lists; it’s about a man (Lamberto Maggiorani, a non-professional actor) whose livelihood in impoverished postwar Italy depends upon his bicycle, and what he does when it is stolen. Enzo Staiola plays his young son.

No Mercy (KTLA Thursday at 8 p.m.) is a gaudy, violent 1986 love-on-the-run thriller that finds Richard Gere’s rebellious Chicago cop and Kim Basinger’s fiery New Orleans moll handcuffed and racing through the Louisiana bayous. Slick but empty.

Another film set in New Orleans: The Big Easy (KTLA Friday at 8 p.m.), a 1987 release, is more memorable for the sizzling chemistry between Dennis Quaid’s police lieutenant and Ellen Barkin’s Eastern-born assistant D.A. than its police-corruption plot; the sex may well have been toned down for TV.

The Best of Times (KTLA Saturday at 8 p.m.), an unjustly neglected 1986 film, stars Robin Williams as a man so obsessed with the fact that in high school he dropped a 65-yard pass from the star quarterback (Kurt Russell) that 10 years later he tries to fast-talk a replay of the game among the school’s alumni.

Pumping Iron (KCET Saturday at 9 p.m.) confronts with the utmost sophistication the world of bodybuilding, which was widely regarded as an exotic subculture at the time the documentary was made (1977). Filmmakers George Butler and Robert Fiore regard their subjects with a steadfast, cool detachment--even when they themselves are being openly manipulative. A shrewdly calculated entertainment that shows off Arnold Schwarzenegger’s witty charisma to advantage.

Written by Jerry Belson and directed by Michael Ritchie, the 1975 Smile (KCET Saturday at 10:30 p.m.) is a tart, hilarious satire of beauty contests. Bruce Dern plays an eager-beaver recreation vehicle dealer who is the contest’s principal promoter, and Barbara Feldon is the contestants’ ferocious den mother.
