The Hurt Locker

Paul Thomas Anderson said that his film The Master, in which a shell-shocked WWII vet tries to return to normal life, was inspired in part by William Wyler's The Best Years of Our Lives (1946; 6 pm), the revered classic dealing with the same subject. If you haven't seen it, here's your chance, likewise Kathryn Bigelow's Oscar-winning Iraq War masterpiece The Hurt Locker (2008; 9 pm).
