Motorama (Bravo Sunday at 8:30 p.m.: Monday at 12:30 p.m.; Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 12:30 p.m.) “Motorama” is a tangy little 1992 road movie fable-fantasy about the decadence of the super-media American Dream. Director Barry Shils and writer Joseph Minion have concocted an horrific jape: a nightmare about a society bad to the bone that’s done playfully, in pastel colors and dreamy vaudeville turns, with lots of offbeat star cameos and sendups of other movies.

The Last Seduction (HBO Friday at 12:05 a.m.) While most directors approach film noir from the outside, John Dahl intuitively penetrates to the heart of the beast, luxuriating in its fatalism, duplicity and despair. As played by Linda Fiorentino with career-making gusto, Bridget Gregory is a virtuoso of venom, her amorality so cold even her attorney asks her, “Anybody ever check you for a heartbeat?” The story unwinds as Bridget takes off from Manhattan with the loot her unsavory husband (Bill Pullman) has scored from a drug deal to to wreak havoc in an upstate New York town.
