DVR Theater, Week of 6/18

Beginning today, and every Monday I'm not attending another festival (or NaFF, for that matter), I'll be recommending some basic cable titles to set your DVRs for this week.  You could also do that less-than-trendy thing of actually watching them when they air, but does anyone really do that any more? I'll focus on one selection per day (or so) and highlight NaFF selections from the past as they appear along the way.

Tonight (Monday, June 18)

Sundance Channel - 8:00 PM Eastern, 7:00 PM Central
French Roast
