■ TCM SPOTLIGHT: REVISIONIST WESTERNS: “SAM PECKINPAH”
TCM, 8 p.m.
Catch a Classic! This look at classic Revisionist Westerns presents a lineup of four films from one of the pioneers of that film subgenre: director Sam Peckinpah, whose visually innovative and explicit depictions of action and violence, and unconventional characters and storytelling, heralded the beginning of a new era for movies as a whole, and especially for Westerns. The lineup starts with Peckinpah’s second film, “Ride the High Country” (1962), led by Randolph Scott and Joel Mccrea. Following that is “The Ballad of Cable Hogue” (1970), starring Jason Robards and Stella Stevens; 1969’s “The Wild Bunch,” starring William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan and Edmond O’brien; and “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” (1973), which follows aging Old West lawman Garrett (James Coburn), who is hired to bring down outlaw — and his old friend — Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson).
