In the 1967 Bonnie and Clyde (KCOP Sunday at 6 p.m.) director Arthur Penn--from a script by Robert Benton and David Newman and with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the title roles--beautifully re-creates the Depression-era Midwest. An American classic: poetically beautiful, madly comic and infernally appealing.

Death on the Nile (KCOP Sunday at 8 p.m.) is an elegant and suspenseful all-star 1978 Agatha Christie adaptation in which Peter Ustinov plays for the first time Hercule Poirot, who applies his famous little gray cells to solving a shipboard murder.

The 1981 Raiders of the Lost Ark (ABC Sunday at 8:30 p.m.) does a flawless, exciting job of capturing the fun of old Saturday matinee serials. Producer George Lucas and director Steven Spielberg have got it just right. They’ve brought a sophisticated, affectionately tongue-in-cheek tone to their virtuoso cliffhangers, lightning pace and a high-adventure plot. Harrison Ford and spunky leading lady Karen Allen couldn’t be better.

Made only nine months after Carol Stuart’s murder, and less than nine months after the apparent suicide of her husband and presumed slayer, Charles Stuart, Good Night, Sweet Wife: Murder in Boston (CBS Sunday at 9 p.m.) hit the airwaves in 1990. Although taut and well-acted, it shows its hastiness in too many ways in regard to what is a bizarre, disturbing, unresolved case in which Stuart asserted that a black assailant killed his wife.

Tremors (NBC Sunday at 9 p.m.), a jocular, good-time 1990 monster movie with surprises up its sleeve and a comedy-Western sensibility, stars Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, with a hilarious turn by country singer Reba McEntire.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (KTTV Tuesday at 8 p.m.) is the definitive 1938 Michael Curtiz version, a grand, timeless Technicolor swashbuckler with the perfectly cast Errol Flynn in the title role, Olivia de Havilland as Maid Marian and a terrific Warner Bros. supporting cast.

Bob Rafelson’s Five Easy Pieces (KCOP Friday at 8 p.m.), one of the key films of the ‘70s, stars Jack Nicholson as a feckless, charming drifter who has forsaken his highly refined family to work as an oil field roughneck. Yet he yearns to return home, and the film becomes an odyssey of self-discovery, touching on the rootlessness and dissatisfaction of contemporary life.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (KCOP Saturday at 8 p.m.), the 1948 John Huston film from the B. Traven novel, is a classic, bitterly ironic fable of fate and human nature starring Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston and Tim Holt as a trio of gold prospectors in Mexico.
