Title: odd double billls Post by: lester1/2jr on January 17, 2011, 10:59:38 AM I watched Woody Allens "Interiors" and "Bigger Faster Stronger" a documentary about steroids the other night. The contradicton between the two was apparent but they were both good. I was thinking what would be some other strange pairings"
1. Brian's song / Cruising 2. Jaws / On Gold Pond 3. Pretty Woman / Lilya 4-Ever 4. Screwballs 2 loose screws / Through a Glass Darkly 5. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie / Kramer vs Kramer any? Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: Raffine on January 17, 2011, 11:09:56 AM Here's a real one:
Our local theater featured this irresistible double bill one memorable Saturday in the early 70's: THE COMPUTER WORE TENNIS SHOES/HATCHET FOR A HONEYMOON One of my best days at the movies - ever! :thumbup: Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: The Burgomaster on January 17, 2011, 10:13:55 PM I'm pretty sure the first time I saw GREASE at the drive-in, the companion feature was BARBARELLA.
Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: retrorussell on January 17, 2011, 11:14:04 PM Okay, not really a double bill per se, but they were on the same marquee playing in the same theater in a multiplex:
Law Abiding Citizen/Michael Jackson (This is it) :bouncegiggle: ~also~ More fitting (MUCH more fitting!) one I saw on a local theater marquee: Inside Man/Brokeback Mountain :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: claws on January 18, 2011, 12:44:33 AM Our theater advertised and showed this double bill once:
Micki + Maude (1984) / The Hearse (1980) Such a strange pairing, but we went to see it anyway. They also did pretty cool ones like: Aliens (1986) / The Fly (1986) and: RoboCop (1987) / Predator (1987) Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: Trevor on January 18, 2011, 01:26:51 AM I once saw The Fugitive and Passenger 57 on a double bill way back in 1993. That was fun. :thumbup:
Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: lester1/2jr on January 18, 2011, 09:16:49 AM retro russell - "Inside Man/Brokeback Mountain" :thumbup:
Raffine- I've never seen computer wore tennis shoes but some of that live action Disney stuff is pretty wacky. maybe not quite wacky enough to be on a bill with Hatchet for the Honeymoon though. awesome Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: JayJayM12 on January 18, 2011, 10:07:39 AM I think an odd double bill would be Troll / Troll 2, since they have NOTHING to do with one another. It would be made even more odd by the fact that most people would understandably assume that they do have something to do with each other, so the perplexity level would be raised. (I guess you could do the same for Halloween 2/Halloween 3 or Silent Night Deadly Night 3/4, but that's the only 1 & 2 that I can think of like that).
Another interesting double bill would be Passion of the Christ / Battleship Earth. Or Attack of the 50 Foot Woman / Willow. Or Black Christmas / Christmas Story (same director, so maybe not that weird) Last one: The Room / absolutely any other movie Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: Flick James on January 18, 2011, 12:27:27 PM "Term" double-feature:
Terminator/Terms of Endearment Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: TheDenizen on January 18, 2011, 01:35:10 PM I watched a UHF/Rosemary's Baby double bill not long ago. Good times. :twirl:
Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: retrorussell on January 18, 2011, 10:29:24 PM Maybe not odd when they're both sci-fi, but one was rated G and one rated R:
Star Trek: The Motion Picture/Alien Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: Trevor on January 19, 2011, 12:10:25 AM More fitting (MUCH more fitting!) one I saw on a local theater marquee: Inside Man/Brokeback Mountain :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: El Misfit on January 19, 2011, 12:15:16 AM The Brain From Planet Arous and Reptilicus.

Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: WingedSerpent on January 01, 2012, 10:53:08 AM Not exactly a double feature but when I went to see Green Lantern the posters for Shark Night 3D and A Dolphin's Tale were right next to each other.

Title: Re: odd double billls Post by: JaseSF on January 03, 2012, 09:45:49 PM I sometimes feel our current world/near future world is/will be a mishmash of Metropolis and Idiocracy so pretty cool mix there Chaos.

What were they trying to do? I know what they were trying to do. Show two award winning films back-to-back. What they forgot was that these two films appeal to different audiences, which they found out, when they ran these two films on a double bill. |
