I think I could watch The Dark Knight, take a short break and then watch Wall-e. I wouldn't want to eat directly after Dark Knight. I still haven't seen Burn After Reading.

Kathy, I'm not sure what others would say, but I think you should watch TDK last.

See, I was going to suggest watching TDK first (dark) and then lightening the mood with Burn After Reading (dark, but funny) and finishing up with the gleeful Wall-E.

It sounds like my days of enjoying the Paris summer film festival--a 3-day weekend when you would get a "passport" when you paid full price to the first show you attended, and then every show after that was 10 francs (about $1.50) for the rest of the weekend. People would schedule their days to take in 5 or so shows a day. Paris has a lot of movie screens so there were tons of options, from art-house retrospectives to blockbusters.

Also fun was the "18 heures/18 francs" week when whatever showing started at 6pm (or so) was 18 francs and we would see a movie a day for the whole week.

Good times.

This was the order the timing of the various showings will work best: 12:45 for TDK, which I figure will get out about 3:30 or so, then 3:30 for Burn After Reading, getting out around 5:15, in time for the 5:10 showing of Wall-E, which will have the usual 10 minutes of previews so I can still see the whole film. That way, I can eat lunch beforehand and then go to out for Indian afterward before 7:00.

I double-checked your running times and unless your theatre shows more previews than mine you've got a good solid plan there.

I've only done a double-feature before, when ChiKat and I saw Paris je t'aime followed by Once. That was fun.

I find it hard to go dark to light, because dark takes a lot over me and I cannot enjoy the light myself, but YBMV.

The evening of watching Taxi Driver followed by Breakfast at Tiffanys on a date has haunted me for years.

I'm still freaking out about the idea of a monthly movie pass in Paris. And I heard about that years ago! Oh! From our mutual friend/classmate.

I think both major chains have the monthly pass. And, my favorite for short visits when I want to pack in a lot of movies for not so much money, the card where you prepay for 5 tickets. You can use it once with 4 friends, or use it for 5 shows on your own. It works out to where you are paying a little over 1/2 price.

Truly, Paris is a movie buff (and buffista) wonderland.

Yeah, I think after Dark Knight you won't get a lot out of Burn After Reading. I'd go with that one first if you can. Wall-E (which I haven't seen) might be enough to hold its own, though.
