Message-ID: <621@nsc.UUCP> Date: Thu, 9-Feb-84 12:31:57 EST Article-I.D.: nsc.621 Posted: Thu Feb 9 12:31:57 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 11-Feb-84 09:17:16 EST Organization: National Semiconductor, Sunnyvale Lines: 41 I was with a group of people the other night, and we got into the following discussion. It was so much fun I thought I'd clog the net with it for a while and see what came out. The question is: If you ran a movie house and could schedule the movies you showed, what double features would you run (we assume a revival/art house, of course). To get things started, here are some obvious (to me) ones: Harold and Maude/King of Hearts King of Hearts/Apocalypse Now Apocalypse Now/Sands of Iwo Jima Rollerball/Slapshot 39 Steps (hitchcock)/39 Steps (latest remake) Rocky Horror Picture Show/Phantom of the Paradise Star Trek II: TWOK/Mutiny on the Bounty Dark Star/Alien The idea is to put together double features of films that relate to each other in some way, either film style, content, etc... Movies that show extreme differences in viewpoint of the same subject can make real interesting doublets (such as the two Apocalypse Now doublets). C'mon folks, put on the old thinking caps and try to be original. You don't necessarily need to explain why they go together, but if it's an extremely obscure joining, you might want to explain (we might want to disagree with you, too...) chuq -- From the house at Pooh Corner: Chuq 'Nuke Wobegon' Von Rospach {fortune,menlo70}!nsc!chuqui Have you hugged your Pooh today? Go, Lemmings, Go! A good magician should always subscribe to the highest purposes, and nothing should disuade him from these lofty goals, except, perhaps, that he has to eat, and it is nice to put a little away for retirement. - The Teachings of Ebenezum, V.
