Reel good films to watch on TV this week

Zombieland (2009)
Sunday, 8 p.m., FXM
Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Woody Harrelson (right) blast their way through a zombie-infested America in this 2009 comedy, which features an unforgettable Bill Murray cameo as well as Stone’s breakout performance. The opening credit sequence alone, chronicling Eisenberg’s character’s rules for zombie-killing, is a thing of cartoonishly violent perfection.

Blazing Saddles (1974)
Monday, 9:45 a.m., IFC
Mel Brooks’ Western spoof is a brutally funny send-up of small-town racism and a cautionary tale about the adverse effects of the bean-centric cowboy diet. Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little (left) star alongside Brooks and Madeline Kahn. Little plays Bart, the black sheriff who sends a dusty border settlement into a panic upon his arrival.

WALL-E (2008)
Tuesday, 10:45 p.m., Disney
It seems a stretch to call this darkly beautiful Pixar masterpiece a kids’ movie, with its nearly dialogue-free first half and its stark postapocalyptic Earthscape. WALL-E (right) is an E.T.-esque clean-up robot who falls for a sleek explorer-bot named Eve and follows her into space, where obese humans now live on a floating ark after having trashed their home planet.

The Warriors (1979)
Thursday, 3:45 p.m., IFC
This cult classic is set in a wild-west New York ruled by street gangs with outlandish attire: the Baseball Furies (Yankees garb, face paint), the Boppers (purple satin vests) and the Hi-Hats (mime outfits). The titular Warriors (below), under siege from every other gang, must battle their way back from the Bronx to their home turf of Coney Island.
