EASTWOOD — PART
TCM, beginning at 8 p.m. Catch a Classic! Turner Classic Movies airs the first part of a two-weekend double feature of iconic movies starring or directed by the legendary Clint Eastwood (the second double feature airs Saturday, Oct. 23). This lineup consists of two famous Eastwood films in which he starred in the 1960s and ’70s, during the first few decades of his stardom. First up is the World War Ii-set action classic “Where Eagles Dare” (1968). Based on Alistair Maclean’s novel of the same name, the film follows Maj. John Smith, played by Richard Burton, and Lt. Morris Schaffer, played by Eastwood, who are Allied paratroopers working for an intelligence service. Their mission is to sneak behind the enemy lines and rescue a captured general, who is being held by the Nazis in a castle high in the Alps. The second film features a lighter note: the action comedy “Every Which Way but Loose” (1978). Eastwood plays Philo Beddoe, a truck driver and fighter who roams the country looking for his missing love (Sondra Locke), while facing off against the police and an entire motorcycle gang. He does it all with his brother Orville (Geoffrey Lewis) and his pet orangutan Clyde by his side. One of Eastwood’s most famous costars, Clyde
was portrayed by a trained orangutan named Manis.

Syfy, 9 p.m.
Original Film! In this modern reimagining of the cult favorite 1982 slasher film, the titular get-together turns into a bloodbath as a psychotic serial killer wielding a power drill disrupts the fun. Like the original movie, this remake features women in two top behind-the-scenes creative roles — it was written by Suzanne Keilly and directed by Danishka Esterhazy. Esterhazy is known for her female-driven stories, so this film may give slasher fans some interesting twists on the genre.
