Murgos posted:So, could someone take a stab at enumerating some iconic double bills? Direct sequels or movies in a shared universe are probably sort of trivial examples but what about two different movies that make watching both more than the sum of the individual experience? Greenaway's "Zoo" and Cronenberg's "Dead Ringers"

Speaking of double features, I made my own and posted it to YouTube at an unlisted link. It's a whole program with two sets of trailers, an intermission, and two features: Shivers and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, of course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v55ljHjawI

Everyone just skip Rocky horror and go to Phantom of the paradise. It's better in every way.

While I'm not about to tout Rocky Horror as the end-all be-all, it's very good at what it is: a retelling of Adam & Eve with the serpent being replaced by Doctor Frankenstein, the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil as sexuality and sexual awakening, an homage to classic B-movies while being a B-Movie, all set to 50's-early 60's Rock and Roll. Even with the 2nd-half losing momentum, it just works. That said, I've never even heard of Phantom of the Paradise, and must rectify that immediately.

Even with the 2nd-half losing momentum, it just works. I've also yet to see Phantom but their themes seem relatively - if somewhat superficially similar. As your outline points out, Rocky Horror takes the conventional, anti-queer subtext of a creature-feature and turns it into sarcastic tragedy, one that points up how genre gives us the opportunity to liberate our violent and carnal desires but then requires the constant condemnation of this liberation. Paradise, on the other hand, seems to more accurately depict how even this oppositional relationship with genre is co-opted and exploited by an implicitly anti-queer system that entices the spectator with superficial fantasies of defiance. The movies should be considered direct sequels.

If we're talking mind-bending musicals, go for The Apple/Can't Stop the Music. Both are streaming on Netfilx and both are fabulous.

How about a quadruple feature of Spring Breakers/ Umshini Wam/ Chappie/ Short Circuit 2? Then you can witness a neon crime-fetish film melt into a tale of two possibly-retarded gangsters who later go on to stage a heist with a rogue robot, and then we watch his cousin fall in with the same kind of crowd. Or you could also not do that. Yeah that's probably a better choice.

I usually will do a triple bill of Spring Breakers with The Wolf of Wall Street and Pain and Gain and call it The American Dream Trilogy.

A few double billings I can think of: Watch Fitzcarraldo, wait a day or two to let it simmer in your head, and then watch Burden of Dreams/My Best Fiend. Two toxic egos clashing with each other to make a movie that drove them both to even more of the edge than usual, I find the making of that film fascinating. Watership Down/Plague Dogs for stuff your parents accidentally rented for you that left scars. Fantastic Mr. Fox/Antichrist: movies released in 2009 featuring Willem Dafoe and a talking fox.

My main problem with Shock Treatment is that the songs are lousy but what's her face was the ideal replacement for Susan Sarandon. Plus its nice to see Rik Mayall in a movie.

Shame she wasn't in more movies honestly, but judging by what I've heard she's the kind of person who made a conscious decision to stop acting and did other things.
