TRAFFIC
Showtime, 7:30 p.m. ET
The 1989 TV miniseries Traffik, on which this 2000 movie was based, is even better and more detailed, but this movie version is no slouch. Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic, starring Michael Douglas, won an Oscar, and its interwoven tale about drug trafficking remains tense and surprising, even in a condensed-for-cinema narrative.
