Prizzi’s Honor 1985

Thursday, 8 p.m., Reelz

It’s a terrible thing when professional assassins who are hired to kill one another fall in love by mistake. It’s also pretty darned funny.

Their jobs become impossible when they are given offers they can’t refuse. Anjelica Huston won Best Supporting Actress.
