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...)

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.
