Movies

"Any Given Sunday"

Director Oliver Stone's 1999 paean to professional football boasts a strong cast, led by Al Pacino as a Miami coach locked in a battle of wills with his team's new owner (Cameron Diaz). Dennis Quaid plays an injured quarterback who fears that a newcomer (Jamie Foxx) will usurp his position. 7 p.m., AMC, Channel 55.

"Fun With Dick and Jane"
