Robert M. Young’s 1979 Rich Kids (Channel 5 Sunday at 6 p.m.) derives its strength and appeal from the charm of attractive, very bright young people trying to make their own way in a world messed up by their parents. Trini Alvarado is a girl who sees through the charade of her parents’ marriage; Jeremy Levy is the new kid at school who lives most of the time with his playboy father.

The 1983 Going Berserk (Channel 13 Sunday at 6 p.m.) is episodic, graceless, often outrageous and sometimes crassly funny. John Candy stars as a nerdish part-time limo driver and aspiring drummer whose fiancee (Alley Mills) is kidnaped by a religious aerobics cult leader (Richard Libertini) for his own crazed purposes.

With Ordinary People (Channel 13 Sunday at 8 p.m.) director Robert Redford turned Judith Guest’s book into an extraordinary 1980 film in a compassionate study of the WASP mentality, in which a wealthy suburban Chicago family attempts to smooth over its deep fissures. With Timothy Hutton, Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore and Judd Hirsch.

Corin Nemec and Cheryl Pollak star in For the Very First Time (NBC Monday at 9 p.m.), a drama set in the 1960s about two teen-agers, one Jewish, the other Catholic, who try to keep their romance a secret from their parents and friends.

Imagine a video game that becomes the real thing in outer space. That’s the premise of 1984’s The Last Starfighter (Channel 13 Friday at 8 p.m.), but its ingenuity is quickly dissipated, allowing it to play like a modestly budgeted borrowing from “Star Wars” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Lance Guest plays a young video game whiz recruited by a mysterious but persuasive Robert Preston (in his final role) to zoom off to the planet Rylos to helped defend the Rylans from dreaded enemies.

Written by Raynold Gideon and Bruce A. Evans from an atypical Stephen King novella and wonderfully directed by Rob Reiner, the 1986 Stand By Me (Channel 13 Saturday at 6 p.m.) is one of the key American films of the ‘80s. With the greatest clarity it views a pivotal trek made by four buddies (River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman and Jerry O’Connell), about to enter junior high school. Richard Dreyfuss plays the adult Wheaton, recalling that crucial summer of 1959.

On Golden Pond (Channel 5 Saturday at 8 p.m.) expresses eloquently a dream that many share: to grow old, but never less passionate, alongside the person one has loved most dearly. The dream couple is played by the late Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn, but their comfortable situation proves no defense against the frights and confusions of old age. Another key element: an unresolved relationship between the husband and his daughter, played by Jane Fonda.

Crocodile Dundee (ABC Saturday at 8 p.m.), one of the most popular movies in recent years, stars Paul Hogan as a resourceful tour guide in the Australian outback who winds up in adventure and romance in New York.

Tenderness, a defining intelligence and the sting of real emotion characterizes Hugh Hudson’s elegant and ambitious 1984 Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes” (Channel 13 Saturday at 8 p.m.), which juxtaposes a thrilling vision of life in the jungle with a highly ironic view of British civilization. Christopher Lambert is a wholly persuasive Tarzan, a Scottish aristocrat orphaned in the jungle, and so is the late Ralph Richardson as his dotty grandfather back in Scotland.
