Garbo Talks (KTLA Sunday at 8 p.m.)...

Garbo Talks (KTLA Sunday at 8 p.m.) is a warm, enjoyable 1984 Sidney Lumet film in which a feisty but ailing Anne Bancroft, a lifelong Garbo fan, inspires her accountant son (Ron Silver) to try to produce the reclusive star for his hospitalized mother.

In the expertly crafted 1973 The Sting (ABC Sunday at 8:30 p.m.), Robert Redford is an up-and-coming con man who persuades Paul Newman, a legendary con man on the skids in Chicago, to help him get revenge on New York racketeer Robert Shaw.

Resurrection (KTLA Monday at 8 p.m.) is a captivating, unjustly neglected 1980 film dealing with the possibility of healing by love. Ellen Burstyn plays a woman who recovers from a near-fatal auto accident and is transformed by her strange new powers. Written by Lewis John Carlino and directed by Daniel Petrie, the film also stars Sam Shepard and Eva LeGalliene.

The Sitter (KTTV Monday at 8 p.m.) is a successful 1991 TV-movie remake of Marilyn Monroe’s “Don’t Bother to Knock” starring Kim Myers as a troubled baby-sitter whose fantasies create chaos in a large hotel.

As a mysterious private investigator in pursuit of a serial killer, Anthony Perkins, in his final screen appearance, gives the 1992 TV movie In the Deep Woods (NBC Monday at 9 p.m.) some jolting bursts of energy in what is an otherwise routine suspense thriller about a children’s book illustrator (Rosanna Arquette) who fears that someone she loves may be a murderer.

In the 1978 Same Time, Next Year (KTLA Tuesday at 8 p.m.), adulterous Alan Alda sneaks off with an also-married Ellen Burstyn for an affair that lasts only a weekend each year but endures for a quarter-century. This is an obvious theater piece, but as adapted by Bernard Slade from his play and directed by Robert Mulligan, it has warmth and skill.

The 1990 Flatliners (CBS Tuesday at 9 p.m.) is aflame with Jan de Bont cinematography, deep-focus decor, an attractive cast, but it isn’t any deeper, dramatically or psychologically, than its own swanky trailer. In a medical school, five students try to experience life after death scientifically. Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts and Kevin Bacon star.

The Mechanic (KTLA Wednesday at 8 p.m.) is a hard-edged, brutal yet absorbing 1972 gangster movie starring Charles Bronson as a veteran professional assassin who takes on as a protege a cynical, nervy young man (Jan-Michael Vincent).

The 1979 Rocky II (KTLA Friday at 8 p.m.) preserves intact the emotional wallop of the original and is better set up than most sequels because the original epic match between Rocky (Sylvester Stallone, who also wrote and directed) and Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) demanded a rematch.
