Love Me Tonight (AMC Sunday at 2:30 p.m., again at 11 p.m.) Rouben Mamoulian’s exquisite 1932 classic musical, justly famous for its innovative opening sequence culminating in Rodgers and Hart’s “Isn’t It Romantic?,� stars Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald.

Starman (Show Sunday at 4 p.m and Monday at 3 a.m.; TMC Friday at 5:30 p.m.) This 1984 release came as a charming surprise from horrormeister John Carpenter. It’s a gentle, irresistible and deeply poignant romantic fable about a woman (Karen Allen) on the lam with an endangered alien (Jeff Bridges).

The Big Parade (TNT Monday at 5 p.m.) King Vidor’s 1925 silent World War I classic is a film of epic sweep and famous moments, a gallant salute to an end of innocence and the first fully realized expression of what that war meant to America. John Gilbert stars.

Pickup on South Street (Disney Tuesday at 9 p.m.) Samuel Fuller’s 1953 film noir captured the anti-Communist hysteria of the era as pickpocket Richard Widmark inadvertently steals top secret microfilm. What makes the film unforgettable, however, is Thelma Ritter’s Oscar-nominated performance as an ill-fated street peddler.

The Girl From Hunan (Bravo Thursday at 6 p.m., again at 11 p.m.) This outstanding 1987 Chinese film, based on a 1929 novel, is highly critical of a feudal society in which an 18-year-old woman (Xue Bai) in a remote village is married off to a child husband--with drastic consequences.
