TBS, 6:00 p.m. ET
If you’re lucky enough to have some family around, safely, then you have two chances tonight, at 6 p.m. ET and again at 8:15 p.m. ET, to watch The Wizard of Oz on TBS tonight. And this year, more than any year since this classic movie musical was released in 1939, there’s no place like home. Because where else are you spending 98 percent of your time?
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Starting in prime time tonight, TCM presents an all-night marathon of films by Alfred Hitchcock. A dozen films in a row, starting at 8 p.m. ET with 1954’s Rear Window and including, before the night is over, 1960’s Psycho, 1948’s Rope, and, at 12:15 a.m ET, 1963’s The Birds. There are no turkeys in that one – just a few lovebirds and a lot of crows – but wow.
Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET
This 2019 movie was directed by Sam Mendes, whose dazzling directorial style includes his breathtaking work on Broadway’s Cabaret revival and his dreamy approach to 1999’s American Beauty film. In 1917, he directs an action movie about WWI – but does it in such a way that, once you begin watching, you’ll never stop, because neither does his camera.
