Double Feature!

[gwynplaine]

In the grand tradition of the Double Bill, please pair two movies for an evening of cinematic bliss. I'll start.

Creature from the Black Lagoon/The Shape of Water

 

[David H.]

The Man Who Fell to Earth / Under the Skin

 

[gwynplaine]

^ Nice.

Sunset Blvd. / Whatever Happened to Baby Jane

 

[David H.]

A Clockwork Orange / Bronson

 

[Kane52630]

The Fly (1986)/Darkman

 

[Kane52630]

RoboCop/Dredd

 

[Kane52630]

Die Hard/Speed

 

[Kane52630]

Evil Dead 2/Braindead

 

[David H.]

I was thinking Evil Dead / Dead Alive, followed up by Spider-Man / Fellowship of the Ring.

Geek favorites make it to the big leagues with trend setting blockbusters.

 

[2kt09]

Army of Darkness / Dead Alive since they released so close to each other and changed the landscape as we know it

 

[Kane52630]

I suppose but Evil Dead II shares the same type of horror humor as Braindead.... plus the amount of blood in both.

 

[Boom]

There Will Be Blood and The Master make excellent companion pieces.

 

[Drizzle]

Groundhog Day/Edge of Tomorrow

 

[Kane52630]

Snowpiercer/Train to Busan

 

[2kt09]

 

[David H.]

Zodiac / Memories of Murder

To Be or Not to Be / Inglourious Basterds

 

[Kane52630]

Beasts of No Nation/First They Killed My Father

 

[Lighthouse]

The Man Who Fell to Earth / Under the Skin

This is a great one.

Lonely Are the Brave / First Blood

 

[redhawk23]

I recommend Drive and Nightcrawler any time this question comes up!

I had my suspicions for a while that the films would pair well, both being set in Las Angeles with a strong driving focus and some aesthetic similarities.

Additionally, I think Drive works interestingly as a kind of superhero story, complete with a costume and mask. Nightcrawler plays like a supervillain orgin.

I watched them together with myfriends and they pair better than I ever expected. They even have scenes shot in the exact same diner!

^ Good one

Fargo / A Simple Plan

 

[redhawk23]

With the evolution of folk music and the continued allusions to the Odyssey, I think the Coens consciously made Inside Llewyn Davis as a followup to O Brother, Where Art Though? This is another double I've done with my friends.

 

[gwynplaine]

Mafioso / The Godfather

 

[David H.]

Rango and Mad Max: Fury Road worked really well for me some years back. More so than paired with Chinatown or Fear and Loathing.

Westworld / The Terminator
