TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"A Bug's Life" (8 p.m., 1998) and "The Luck of the Irish" (9:45 p.m., 2001); both Disney Channel. Here is a dandy double feature. Both films offer sight gags, plus offbeat wit. "A Bug's Life" was made by Pixar, between "Toy Story" hits. It's the computer-animated tale of a misfit ant (Dave Foley) who tries to fight evil grasshoppers. "Luck of the Irish" is a Disney Channel original about a luckless teen (Ryan Merriman) who suddenly has everything go right.

"Bonnie and Clyde" (1967, Turner Classic Movies) and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969, AMC); both 3 p.m. Here are two great movies with much in common. Both are about real-life bank-robbery duos. Both helped spark a movie renaissance, bringing a wave of gifted writers and directors.
