Best repeat scene: Tongue on a flagpole.
• The film world’s favorite daredevil anthropologist Indiana Jones seeks treasures in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008, 8am/7c), followed by his three earlier adventures of ark-hunting, monkey brain–eating and dad-rescuing on Paramount Network (through 3am/2c).
Best repeat scene: Snakes on a plane in Raiders of the Lost Ark (10:30am/9:30c and 6:30/5:30c).
