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.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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

Them! was pretty good, with the giant ants and all.
I love Tremors. That would be a fun double feature.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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!

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Blade Runner and Sin City. Two sides of the same coin. Or, maybe, like, one side and the edge.
