Eleanor of Aquitaine and King Henry II are the warring spouses in this Oscar-winning film where the acting is big, very big. At odds here is which of the king's sons are going to succeed him. Eleanor (Katharine Hepburn) does a lot of tremulous, back-door manipulating to try to force his hand while Henry (Peter O'Toole) bellows and belches, in that order. Co-starring a very young Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton.

Toy Story, 1995

Friday, 9 p.m., ABC Family

Animated Pixar favorite about a cowboy doll named Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) who is the favorite of his owner, Andy. When Andy gets a new action figure — Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) — as a gift, he becomes Andy's best new toy. Woody is consumed with jealousy until the family moves away and the toys become separated from Andy and have to form an alliance. The credits include for the first time "production babies" (all babies born during production), now a Pixar standard.
