The Learning Tree (Bravo Sunday at 5 p.m., Monday at 10:30 a.m., Friday at 6 p.m.) is photographer-turned-filmmaker Gordon Parks’s autobiographical 1969 film about growing up black in a Kansas farming community in the ‘20s.

The King of Marvin Gardens (Cinemax Wednesday at 4:10 a.m.), Bob Rafelson’s memorable 1972 mood piece, set in a seedy Atlantic City, stars Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern as brothers, one striving to prevent the other from destroying himself.

The Icicle Thief (Bravo Thursday at 6 p.m., Friday at midnight): Outraged at how TV chopped up his films, Italian filmmaker Maurizio Nichetti got inspired revenge in this delicious 1990 comedy-satire in which a mysterious power outage scrambles the world of films with that of TV commercials.

Wanda (Bravo Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 10 a.m.) is an extraordinary 1971 work in which Barbara Loden stars in her own film as the woebegone girlfriend of a two-bit crook (Michael Higgins); what emerges is a fully realized portrait of a pair of losers, drawn in gritty realistic style and filled out with humor and despair.
