The 1991 TV movie Mrs. Lambert Remembers...

The 1991 TV movie Mrs. Lambert Remembers Love (CBS Sunday at 9 p.m.) is a fine five-Kleenex movie in which a mildly eccentric Walter Matthau comes to the rescue of an old friend, a forgetful grandmother (Ellen Burstyn) in danger of losing her home and custody of her 9-year-old grandson (Ryan Todd).

Not even the formidable Morgan Freeman, aptly cast in the 1989 Lean on Me (ABC Sunday at 9 p.m.) as a real-life, controversial law-and-order high school principal in Paterson, N.J., can bring full dimension to a film so stripped down that there’s no room left for complexities.

Billionaire Boys Club (KTLA Monday at 8 p.m, concludes Tuesday at 8 p.m.), the torn-from-the-headlines, 1987 two-part docudrama deals with a group of Los Angeles area rich kids caught up in a fraudulent commodities scheme and eventual murder.

The 1990 TV movie The Love She Sought (NBC Monday at 9 p.m.) is a chaste love story, directed by Joseph Sargent, involving a lonely spinster (Angela Lansbury), a loving Irish priest (Denholm Elliott) and a scrappy bishop (Robert Prosky) trying to modernize Catholic education.

The Preppie Murder (ABC Monday at 9 p.m.) is a vivid 1989 TV movie dramatizing the much-publicized Central Park slaying involving a young woman and a young man, who claimed his victim egged him on.

Disorderlies (KCOP Thursday at 8 p.m.) is a good-natured 1987 comedy with humor as broad as the waistlines of its stars, the rap group Fat Boys, who play some orderlies caring for a temporarily ailing Ralph Bellamy, menaced by greedy nephew Anthony Geary.

Surely the 1986 film The Hitcher (KTLA Friday at 8 p.m.) has been toned down for TV. It’s a stylish, relentless and ultra-violent fable about a crazed hitchhiker (Rutger Hauer) mysteriously pursued by a young man (C. Thomas Howell).

James Brooks’ Oscar-laden 1983 Terms of Endearment (KCOP Saturday at 8 p.m.) brought Shirley MacLaine an Oscar as a brittle woman coming to terms with her spirited daughter (Debra Winger) and caught up in an unexpected romance with her next-door neighbor, a womanizing ex-astronaut (Jack Nicholson, who also won an Oscar).
