RAGING BULL (Comcast Movies: All Movies) Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece about a prizefighter (Jake LaMotta, played brilliantly by Robert De Niro) who is a product of his violent environment. This is an unforgettable film. (R; runs through May 9)

SISTER ACT (Showtime on Comcast) Trite material redeemed by its performers — Whoopi Goldberg as a murder witness hiding out in a convent, and a goofy trio of singing nuns played by Kathy Najimy, Mary Wickes, and Wendy Makkena. (PG; runs through May 10)

THE FIRST WIVES CLUB (Max on Comcast) Slick, funny comedy about three smart Manhattan women getting even with the husbands who dumped them. Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn are delightful, partly because their characters allow them to kid their movie personas, and Bette Midler is only a step behind in uncharacteristically muted fashion. (PG; runs through May 12)
