Tonight's Must-See

"The Graduate" (1967), Bravo, 6, 8:30 p.m., and "Tootsie" (1982), Turner Classic Movies, 3 p.m. Here's an instant reminder that Dustin Hoffman is a great actor. Bravo has his first starting role, brilliantly directed by Mike Nichols; TCM has a comic masterpiece. Catch one and tape the other. Or catch "Tootsie," and then Bravo's "Graduate" rerun at 8:30 p.m.

Of Note

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" (2001), 3:15 p.m. and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (2002), 6 p.m., HBO. Here's a chance to catch up on the Potter movie rush.
