Inglorious Basterds 2009
Sunday, 8 p.m., TNT
Quentin Tarantino’s film stars Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Diane Kruger, Melanie Laurent (above), B.J. Novak and a then-unknown Christoph Waltz in a sprawling WWII thriller that revolves around, as Pitt’s American military officer puts it, “killin’ Nazis.” A gorgeous, gory pastiche of cinematic styles, this is Tarantino at his absolute best.

A young pig trains himself to herd sheep — and saves his own skin in the process — on a New Zealand farm in this 1995 movie featuring James Cromwell (right) as big-hearted farmer Arthur Hoggett. It’s technically a kids’ film, but this funny, touching story is actually for just about everyone.
