What’s on TV
THE BACHELOR: THE GREATEST SEASONS — EVER! 8 p.m. on ABC. By the beginning of June, fans of the “Bachelor” franchise had hoped to be following the adventures of Clare Crawley, the Season 16 bachelorette whose journey was expected to premiere on May 18. But with “The Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise” indefinitely postponed because of the coronavirus, viewers can rewatch scenes from past “Bachelor” seasons instead. First up is Sean Lowe’s season, which aired in 2013.
What’s Streaming
AMÉLIE (2001) Stream on Amazon, HBO and Hulu. Rent on iTunes. Originally titled “Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain” (“The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain”), this sweet movie from the French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet is one of France’s most enduring and successful films internationally. The story centers on Amélie (Audrey Tautou), a waitress in the Montmartre neighborhood of “a fairy-tale Paris, the Paris of my youth,” Jeunet told Daniel Zalewski for The New York Times in 2001. Jeunet’s digital editing and use of voice-over give “Amélie” a dreamlike quality, “a consistently clever visual style that,” Zalewski wrote, “like a jawbreaker, hides the story’s sugary core beneath layers of colorful surface.”
I AM LEGEND (2007) Stream on Hulu. Rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. Will Smith stars as Robert Neville, a former soldier and scientist who — after a frightening pandemic caused an apparent zombie apocalypse — is the last man alive in a desolate, wild version of Manhattan. At least this much is clear at the beginning of the movie, which shows Neville hunting deer on Park Avenue and gathering corn in Central Park before returning to his townhouse on Washington Square; his only companion, a German Shephard named Sam who once belonged to his daughter, in tow. But when the sun goes down and infected city residents emerge from their hiding places, Neville must engage in nightly battles for his life.
WEST SIDE STORY (1961) Stream on Netflix. Rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. When this Broadway translation of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” was adapted for the screen, the composer Leonard Bernstein, the lyricist Stephen Sondheim and the musical’s greatest attribute — the composer and director Jerome Robbins — went with it. Joined by the director Robert Wise (“The Sound of Music,” 1965), Robbins and his choreography defined “West Side Story,” creating emotion through dance that is missed in recent adaptations, Gia Kourlas wrote for The Times earlier this year. “Robbins’s choreography — with its searing blend of tension and freedom — gives ‘West Side Story’ its joy and its horror,” she wrote, adding that “Arthur Laurents wrote the book, but Robbins’s choreography is the true libretto.”
