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
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.
'Underneath'
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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
For those in the know: Hudson Hawk / Long Kiss Goodnight
Oh, and I think Jess already mentioned The Apple / Zardoz

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights and The Princess Bride
It's all Carey Elwes, baby!

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.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2. Cause...you know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Hidden Fortress and Star Wars.

Pulp Fiction and Go.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
All That Heaven Allows and Far From Heaven.
Similarly, The Reckless Moment and The Deep End. Both of them are based on the same novella, by Elizabeth Sanxay Holding, and it's sort of surprising that the same plot can still be effective.
Or, The Big Clock and No Way Out (the Kevin Costner one). Although the former is not at all about spies, the latter is fixated with time, timing, and running away.
