Dances With Wolves

6 p.m. on TCM

Kevin Costner’s 1990 Western about a white man who goes to live with American Indians and learns to appreciate their way of life won Oscars for best picture and best director. Costner stars as John Dunbar, a decorated Union soldier who mans a remote outpost in the Dakotas, where he is the only white man around. He slowly gets to know and admire the indigenous people.

Irresistib­le

7 p.m. on CRV1

Jon Stewart both wrote and directed this 2020 political comedy, casting his former “Daily Show” correspond­ent Steve Carell in the starring role of Gary Zimmer, a Democratic Party campaign consultant left shattered by the results of the 2016 presidenti­al election. After watching a viral video of a retired Marine colonel (Chris Cooper) giving a passionate speech defending illegal immigrants, Gary flies to the man’s Wisconsin hometown to persuade him to enter a local political race.

Magic Mike

8 p.m., 1 a.m. on SLICE

It could be deemed the gender flip side of “Showgirls,” but director Steven Soderbergh’s effective 2012 drama about male strippers has more going for it — particular­ly its basis in the actual experience­s of star Channing Tatum. Here, he plays mentor to someone just entering the trade (Alex Pettyfer), and there’s plentiful bumping and grinding. And less-than-plentiful clothing. Matthew McConaughe­y, and Joe Manganiell­o also star.

It Was Always You

10 p.m., 4 a.m. on W

Elizabeth’s (Erin Krakow) engagement planning may be thrown off schedule when a severe storm strands her fiancé in a completely different part of their town when they were supposed to meet to finalize last-minute details. Having his free-spirited brother David (Tyler Hynes) around isn’t proving to be very helpful, either, but as Elizabeth starts to feel overwhelme­d by a looming engagement party, David prompts her to question some big life decisions.
