Terrence Malick, who returned to cinematic prominence with his 1998 film “The Thin Red Line,” is featured at the New Beverly Cinema with a double bill of the two films that made his reputation in the 1970s. “Badlands,” Malick’s lightly fictionalized and glacial 1973 re-creation of the Starkweather-Fugate killing spree, is highlighted by standout performances from Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as the deadly couple. In 1978’s “Days of Heaven,” a trio of fugitives--man, woman and child (Richard Gere, Brooke Adams and Linda Manz as the waif-cynic who narrates the story)--find a brief, temporary idyll on a vast Western wheat farm. But the sad young man who owns the farm--Sam Shepard, in his film acting debut--falls in love with the woman. A sad, beautiful film--one of the greatest of the ‘70s--written and directed by Malick. The cinematography by Nestor Almendros is elegiac, rhapsodic, awe-inspiring.

* Terrence Malick Double Feature, New Beverly Cinema, 7165 Beverly Blvd., L.A. “Badlands,” Sunday, 3:50 and 7:30 p.m., Monday and Tuesday, 7:30 p.m.; “Days of Heaven,” Sunday, 5:40 and 9:20 p.m., Monday and Tuesday, 9:20 p.m. $3 to $6. (323) 938-4038

3 pm: Dance

When local tap prodigy Channing Cook Holmes danced with the Jazz Tap Ensemble, The Times singled him out for “inventiveness and charisma at the same time. . . . It’s cool tapper meets young Elvis.” But Holmes doesn’t limit his tapping to concert dance events. A veteran of films, television (including commercials) and Broadway show dance, he now presents a solo program titled “Coming Home,” accompanied by jazz specialists Domenic Genova (bass), Jerry Kalaf (drums) and Donald Vega (piano). But some things remain the same, no matter what or where Holmes dances. Start with what The Times called “tail-gunning footwork that resembles Morse code on speed.”

* “Coming Home,” Zipper Concert Hall, the Colburn School of Performing Arts, 200 S. Grand Ave., downtown L.A. 3 p.m. $10 (students, seniors) to $20. (213) 621-2200.
