Maybe Double Indemnity and Body Heat for classic noir and neo noir?
Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind and War of the Worlds for two sides of Spielbergian aliens.
Any dream double features you would put together?
Glitter and Gigli
I still have fond memories of a great double feature at the Brattle: Buena Vista Social Club and Genghis Blues.
And when I was a pre-teen, I remember a great cheesy environmentally conscious horror pairing: Frogs and Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster.
Cheesy mutant animals on the prowl movies: Them! and Tremors would be good.
I have always wanted to do original film and homage double features:
I know Where I'm Going/Local Hero
Adventures of Robin Hood/The Court Jester
For those in the know: Hudson Hawk / Long Kiss Goodnight
Oh, and I think Jess already mentioned The Apple / Zardoz
Cheesy mutant animals on the prowl movies: Them! and Tremors would be good.
Them! was pretty good, with the giant ants and all.
I love Tremors. That would be a fun double feature.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights and The Princess Bride
It's all Carey Elwes, baby!
I have always wanted to do original film and homage double features:
All That Heaven Allows and Far From Heaven. Bonus; you get to laugh at Rock Hudson's jolly philosophical lumberjack do. He even sings and plays a guitar!
The original Start Wars (whatever they're calling the first one nowadys--the *first* first one) and Spaceballs!
