Supposing you had your own drive-in/theater...what kind of double features would you show? Stuff from any era, exploitation, mainstream, mix 'em and match 'em if you would like.

I'm interested to see all the great choices from other members out there.

I like there to be a permanent cinema strictly dedicated to local works.

There's always a local art gallery or nightclub trying to get something like this started, but in this town it's like herding cats.

I think my side of town should be known for more than just it's chop shops & adult motels...

I have an old Super 8MM movie projector and a screen.  I could sort of have my own outdoor theater in my side yard but each full movie would require like 5 reels.  I've seen full movies on ebay like Jaws, and some cartoon shorts that would go well with the drive-in type atmosphere, but 5 reels for a full movie kind of sucks.  That's a lot of intermissions while I change reels!

We're assuming profit is not a motive, of course. 

I'd like to support low-budget filmmakers by playing movies that would otherwise go straight to DVD on my big drive-in screen, stuff like APOCALYPSE KISS and BIKINI SWAMP GIRL MASSACRE.

Since I have a variety of tastes it would be whatever I damn well please.  I would like to have a combination theatre/ drive-in this way I can cover both bases for year round enjoyment.

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

I would have three screens, all in line of sight with one another.
I would put the director's cut of SUCKER PUNCH on every one of them, park my car in the center, and never leave!

I had a feeling I might be reading that.  Wink

I would screen South African films in the theater during the day and at night in the drive-in. On 35mm film, not crappy digital projectors. TongueOut

Coffy(1974)/Jackie Brown(1997)

That would be awesome, still haven't seen it actually. I guess you could put Foxy Brown too! But then it would be too similar.

It could be a triple-bill Pam Grier fest actually!  Smile

I would only show movies I like...genre doesn't matter.
And I would only show stuff in their original language. Of course I would have to be super rich to do that because under normal circumstances I would be broke in a couple of month due to only few people actually paying money to watch movies in any other language than german in my town.

A double bill of KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON would be pretty cool.

Most of mine would be 1970s stuff (with possibly a smattering of 60s and 80s movies).  Some would be actual double features that I saw at the drive in when I was a kid.

* BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD / INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS
* BLOOD OF GHASTLY HORROR / BRAIN OF BLOOD
* SHAFT / SUPERFLY
* LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT / DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT
* WILLARD / BEN
* SOYLENT GREEN / ROLLERBALL
* BLACULA / SCREAM, BLACULA, SCREAM
* SQUIRM / Ssssssss
* DIRTY MARY, CRAZY LARRY / VANISHING POINT
* JUGGERNAUT / THE CASSANDRA CROSSING
* THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN / THE THING WITH TWO HEADS
* THE HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS / KING FRAT
* IF YOU DON'T STOP, YOU'LL GO BLIND / CAN I DO IT 'TIL I NEED GLASSES?
* BARBARELLA / FLESH GORDON
