MOVIES

Wuthering Heights Poor but sincere Heathcliff (Laurence Olivier) loves privileged Cathy (Merle Oberon) on the 19th century English Moors, despite her brother’s (Hugh Williams) resentment of him in director William Wyler’s classic 1939 version of the Emily Brontë novel. 7 p.m. TCM

Tenet Writer-director Christopher Nolan (“Inception”) spent more than five years working on the screenplay for this 2020 science fiction action thriller, which follows a CIA agent (John David Washington) who learns how to manipulate time, then uses that ability to prevent an attack from future forces determined to annihilate present-day mankind. Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine and Kenneth Branagh also star. 8 p.m. HBO

Christopher Nolan’s latest puzzle box of a movie, “Tenet,” has become of the most-anticipated releases in years, in part because of continual delays due to COVID-19.

The Nest Set in the 1980s, writer-director Sean Durkin’s 2020 psychological thriller stars Jude Law and Carrie Coon as an English-born financial trader and his American wife who move into an old country manor in England in the 1980s. Charlie Shotwell, Oona Roche and Anne Reid also star. 9 p.m. Showtime
