TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Ocean's Eleven" (2001), 6 p.m., TBS; and "Ocean's Twelve" (2004), 7 p.m., CBS. In a night packed with movies, here's an odd twist. The first two "Ocean's" films overlap; alas, the original is far better than the sequel. Both films are by Steven Soderbergh, the gifted director of "Traffic" and "Erin Brockovich." Both star George Clooney, with a superb supporting cast that includes Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. The difference? The original gave us the fun of the start-up with Danny Ocean (Clooney) putting together his team for a mega-heist. The sequel was more of a shrug.And the original had a cleverly crafted plot. The sequel didn't; it even had one twist that made many of the previous scenes inconsequential. Tape "12," enjoy "11," then watch the sequel reluctantly.

OF NOTE

"Minority Report" (2002), 7 p.m., ABC.We're into the future here when "pre-criminals" can be detected and arrested. But what happens if the system goes wrong? Tom Cruise plays a master pre-criminal catcher who is suddenly on the lam. It's a great concept from a Philip K. Kick story. However, Steven Spielberg directed it when his films had a coolly impersonal feel. It's a good movie, not a great one.

"Marco Polo," 5 p.m., Hallmark Channel. Here's a new film, viewing the world adventurer. Ian Somerhalder, who played "Boone" on "Lost," has the title role.

"Shear Genius," 5 p.m., Bravo. In a late change, here's a rerun of the finale, choosing a hair-styling champ.

"Take the Money and Run" (1969), 2 p.m., Turner Classic Movies. Long before his films turned semi-serious, Woody Allen wrote, directed and starred in this slender delight about a thief who escapes from a chain gang. Only 85 minutes long without the commercials, it has some hilarious moments.
