“FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH” “What are you, people? On DOPE?” Amy Heckerling (“Clueless”) made her directing debut with this 1982 comedy set in a California high school. The plot, such as it is, involves a naive, likable guy and girl (Brian Backer, Jennifer Jason Leigh) who should get together but are getting the wrong kind of relationsh­ip advice from their respective friends (Robert Romanus, Phoebe Cates). But it’s Sean Penn’s surfer dude who steals every scene he’s in. 6 p.m. on IFC

“OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN” America’s most famous residence has a rough time in this 2013 thriller, in which enemies invade the White House.

“ISN’T IT ROMANTIC” Plagued with low self-esteem, architect Natalie (Rebel Wilson) developed an aversion to romantic comedies early in life, so when she’s knocked unconsciou­s during an attempted mugging, she’s horrified to wake up and find herself somehow trapped in just such a cliché-filled love story. Complicati­ng matters, the people Natalie knows in her “real” life have changed into Hollywood stereotype­s. A fine supporting cast that includes Liam Hemsworth, Adam Devine, Priyanka Chopra and Betty Gilpin (the Netflix series “GLOW”) further enhances director Todd Strauss-Schulson’s fizzy comedy. 7:30 p.m. on TNT
