More retro rewinds

“Casino” (AMC, Tuesday, Feb. 14, and Wednesday, Feb. 15): While it might not fire on all the cylinders “Goodfellas” did, director Martin Scorsese’s 1995 reunion with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in the crime-drama genre still has much to recommend. Those aspects include Sharon Stone, giving what many deem her finest performance as a hustler who becomes the wife of a Las Vegas casino operator (De Niro). Also doing notable work here is insult-comic icon Don Rickles.

“Some Like It Hot” (MGM+, Thursday, Feb. 16; MGM+ Hits, Friday, Feb. 17; MGM+ Drive-in, Saturday, Feb. 18): The long association of Jack Lemmon and director Billy Wilder began with this legendary Depression-era comedy about two murder-witness musicians (Lemmon, Tony Curtis) who disguise themselves within an all-female band to hide from the killers. Marilyn Monroe is very notable among those women in this 1959 screen milestone, but the uproarious closing line belongs to Joe E. Brown.

“West Side Story” (Turner Classic Movies, Thursday, Feb. 16): A Steven Spielberg-directed remake of the musical was released in 2021, but Robert Wise’s 1961 screen edition – starring Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer as star-crossed lovers Maria and Tony – always will retain its place with film fans. It’s especially appropriate to be shown in this case, since it’s part of TCM’S Star of the Month tribute to Rita Moreno, who earned an Oscar as Anita.

“The Flying Nun” (Decades, Saturday, Feb. 18): Before she began winning Oscars and Primetime Emmys, Sally Field had an early claim to fame with this 1960s sitcom casting her as Sister Bertrille, the spunky nun petite and light enough to take flight when her habit catches a strong wind. A marathon of the show marks the first half of a weekend “Decades Binge” that concludes the next day with two more Field series, “Gidget” and “The Girl With Something Extra.”
