Modern Times (TNT Sunday at 10:30 p.m.): Chaplin’s classic 1936 joust with the assembly line is timeless--and ever-timelier--as a satire on our increasingly mechanized society. With Chaplin and Paulette Goddard. (2:00)
City Lights (TNT Monday at 12:30 a.m.): A work of simplicity and charm, this 1931 Chaplin film in which the Tramp falls in love with a blind girl (Virginia Cherrill), builds to one of the most affecting, justly famous endings in the history of the movies. (2:00)
Welcome to L.A. (A&E; Monday at 8 a.m.): Alan Rudolph’s multi-character 1977 debut film captures mesmerically a sense of the quality and style of life in the City of Angels. (2:00)
The Last Detail (Cinemax Thursday at 5:05 a.m.) Written by Robert Towne and directed by Hal Ashby, this 1973 bittersweet comedy chronicles veteran sailor Jack Nicholson escorting hapless swabbie Randy Quaid to Leavenworth--and providing him with one last blast along the way. (Famed for its authentically blunt dialogue.) (1:55)
