One of America’s fleet of B-17s, the Memphis Belle was a lumbering Flying Fortress based in England during World War II. By 1943, it had come through 24 bombing missions over Nazi-occupied mainland Europe. Director William Wyler made a memorable documentary about the Belle, and in 1990 his daughter Catherine and David Puttnam produced the dramatized Memphis Belle (ABC Sunday at 9 p.m.) The film is loaded with old-fashioned values, but once off the ground its aerial warfare acquires a terrifying immediacy.

Risky Business (KTTV Monday at 8 p.m.) is that funny 1983 comedy-fantasy about a young man (Tom Cruise) who, under the sway of seductive hooker Rebecca De Mornay, turns his suburban Chicago home into a brothel while his parents are away.

Masquerade (KTLA Tuesday at 8 p.m.) is a sleek romantic thriller, a densely plotted affair about the yearning for money and for love. But director Bob Swaim saves his strongest ammunition for his leading character, a crippling rich young heiress, played by Meg Tilly, who does not take one false breath. Rob Lowe is well-cast as a suave stud who begins to feel the stirring of decency and love for the first time in his life.

Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1990 gangster picture Miller’s Crossing (KTLA Thursday at 8 p.m.) is richly atmospheric and morally ambiguous, as a savvy mid-level hood (Gabriel Byrne) commences on a search for an underworld kingpin worthy of his allegiance. With Albert Finney and John Turturro.

Oliver Stone’s 1988 Talk Radio (KTLA Friday at 8 p.m.) makes you laugh, makes you mad and keeps you on edge watching for killers in the shadows. Eric Bogosian stars in this savagely audacious movie of his play that dips into the dangerous games played by a performer and his audience. Bogosian’s baiting call-in host offers listeners a stream of vituperation, abuse and sarcasm. In the process, we get a profile of society and its malcontents and the faceless voices broadcast by radio.

Mark Kitchell’s Berkeley in the Sixties (KCET Friday at 10:30 p.m.) is a superb, heartfelt 1990 documentary on student activism that is both inclusive and coherent, distilling the decade expertly.

Penelope Spheeris’ The Boys Next Door (KTLA Saturday at 8 p.m.) is a scary, incisive study of two high school seniors (Matthew Caulfield and Charlie Sheen) who go on a killing spree.

KCET’s vintage Saturday night double feature presents “Our Miss Brooks” at 9 and “Tiger Bay” at 10:30 p.m.
