John Carpenter’s Starman (Cinemax Tuesday at 11:30 a.m.) is an irresistibly poignant 1984 romantic fable about a woman (Karen Allen) on the lam with an endangered alien (Jeff Bridges).

The Damned (Bravo Saturday at 6 and 11:30 p.m.). is Luchino Visconti’s elegant 1989 masterpiece, a powerful indictment of Nazi Germany in which the fall of a Krupp-like family stands for the malaise of an entire culture. Dirk Bogarde, Ingrid Thulin and Helmut Berger star.
