Head Over Heels (KABC Monday at midnight), Joan Micklin Silver’s intimate 1979 film of Ann Beattie’s novel “Chiullyu Scenes of Winter,” suggests that even in an era of fleeting encounters a man (John Heard) can be so enraptured by a woman (Mary Beth Hurt) that he will wait for her a decade or so.

Hello, Sister! (KDOC Saturday at 2:30 p.m.) Originally title “Walking Down Broadway,” this 1933 film is the last directed by Erich Von Stroheim. it’s a typical boy-meets-girl story set in Manhattan but some characteristically perverse Stroheim touches survive.
Splendor in the Grass (A&E; Saturday at 9 p.m.) Elia Kazan’s memorable 1961 film of William Inge’s tale of an ill-fated romance, set in the Midwest of the ‘20s. Natalie Wood, Warren Beatty star.
