2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
TCM, 5:30 p.m. ET
There are good movies to watch today on TV, if you have the time and inclination. Let’s begin with Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi masterpiece, which begins in prehistoric times, ends in posthistoric ones, and surprises and confounds throughout. What a movie. More than 50 years later, it’s never been surpassed.
