BLAZING SADDLES 1974

Monday, 8 p.m., AMC

* Mel Brooks’ hilarious Western that makes fun of every ethnic, racial and sexual stereotype ever perpetuated in Hollywood. Oh, yes, and a giant farting scene too. Villian Hedley LaMarr (Harvey Korman) convinces the governor (Mel Brooks) to hire an urbane black sheriff (Cleavon Little in order to make a town unlivable so he can make a deal with the railroad. With Madeline Kahn and Gene Wilder.

IN THE LINE OF FIRE 1993

Tuesday, 12 a.m., WLNY

* Clint Eastwood is a Secret Service agent who’d been handpicked by JFK but failed to protect him from assassination. Years later, he is back on the job, trying to save the current president from a similar fate at the hands of a former CIA agent (John Malkovich). Only Clint Eastwood could make you believe that a 63-year old agent is still running beside the presidential limo.

BABY BOOM 1987

Wednesday, 1 p.m., WLNY

* Diane Keaton is a high-powered NYC yuppie who suddenly finds herself the caretaker of a infant when a distant relative dies. In short order the baby causes her to lose her boyfriend and her high-powered job, so she chucks it and moves to a fixer-upper in a tiny Vermont town. The only doctor there is a veterinarian — but who cares? He’s Sam Shephard. Delightful.

THE DARK KNIGHT 2008

Saturday, 8 p.m., TNT

* Heath Ledger won an Oscar posthumously for this, his last role, as the Joker. Instead of a tongue-in-cheek portrayal, he plays him as a giggling, yet very unfunny and quite horrifying, crime boss who is pitted against Christian Bale’s almost-as-bizarre Batman. Here, a new DA (Aaron Eckhart) joins Batman in the fight against the Joker as he rains chaos down upon Gotham.
