Double Feature
 

I sat down to watch a couple of movies over the weekend and thought to myself...hmm......"what would make a good double feature".

My question to you fine people is just that.
I'm not talking the obvious....such as Friday the 13Th 1 and 2....something a little more clever than that.

For the record, my double feature over the weekend was.
"The Philadelphia Experiment" [ a navy battleship gets caught in a time warp in the year 1943 and two of its crew get transported to 1984 ]
and
"The Final Countdown" [ a navy battleship, The USS Nimitz, goes into a time warp in 1980 and is transported back to 1941, just hours before the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor.]

ok, it aint horror but here are 2 brilliant movies :

Slingblade - billy bob thornton
religious conflict in the deep south.
robert duvall cameo


The Apostle - Robert Duvall
religious conflict in the deep south
billy bob tornton cameo


both about tortured men, making mistakes and atoning for them
both fantastic films.

SlingBlade is my all time favorite film ..

they make an excellent double feature.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :o



(good acting though).

What in the hell are you doing with that lawn mower blade?
Karl: I aim to kill you with it. Mmm.

unbelievable transformation ..
and he didnt drop character for one second despite the fact that he was onscreen almost 100% of the film.

remarkable job ..

I wanted to watch a tripple Lecter feature a while ago, but my fuckin Silence of The lambs has got disc rot :mad:

awww that SUCKS!!! where were u storing it?

cool dry place isnt it? my cds in my car are all fucked, not disc rot, just man handling..

but all my dvds and such are either in cabinets, under tables or in the closet... cool and comfy!

on a shelf in normal conditions, was one of a shit batch of discs that got produced, I found some info on the net a while ago about it and loads of other people had the same problem with MGM produced discs.

i thought only laserdiscs got rot ...
its where the glue holding the 2 discs together is contaminated - as far as lasers go.
is it the same for DVDs ?

anyway .. just as well shanksie .. toss all 3 and pick up a copy of manhunter .. and you're better off !

Underworld/Van Helsing are good together [Yes, I do know that alot of you hate them. I dont care]

Pit and the Pendulum/Fall of the House of Usher is Good, too


But a few months ago, me and my friends had a deadly multi-feature night at my house. I got to chose the movies, of course, as it was near Halloween, and Im known amongst my friends as the horror expert :p

Anyway, we started off with a none too scary horror classic [And also an excuse to introduce them to the amazing actor, Vincent Price] Pit and the Pendulum. Followed by the, still not scary, but the most enjoyed film of the night [By all 3 of us] House on Haunted Hill, remake of course. Then we hit the classics. Dawn of the Dead [Original] was next on the roster, and was enjoyed more for laughs than anything [Nobody here can say they werent laughing at some of the deaths in that movie], but was enjoyed by all nonetheless. And finally, to cap it all off, the classic, orignal Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Sure, we had way to much sugar that night, and laughed at some things[Mostly Leatherface, lol], but I did apreciate it as a damn good horror movie [Although I think I was the only one there to share that opinion, lol]

Damn good night

van helsing should come with a hooker as a double feature.

you can get fucked twice :)

mm yeh its not only the conditions but quality of the cds...

SUCK!!!!

LMFAO!!!!!!!! :D hopefully she looks like Kate Beckinsale :p

na normal dvds can get it too.... it's the wrong ink they use to print the labels on the outer surface, reacts with the glue that binds the disc layers together, and when it spins in the player the velocity causes the layers to come appart and the outer ones crack away.

Dbl feature
 

From time to time, I like watching an original then a remake back to back to compare.

Nosferatu and Shadow of the Vampire are an interesting match-up.

The Thing (W/James Arness) and The Thing (W/ Kurt Russell)

Dracula(Lugosi), Dracula(Lee), Dracula(Palance), Dracula(Langella)...I think you get the idea.

Also, as a triple feature, I like watching; Frankenstein, The Wolfman, then Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman.

How about a Fulci double feature, The Beyond and Zombie


Or a WWII double feature, The Longest Day and Saving Private Ryan.

Re: Dbl feature
 

I do that sometimes, too. Well, once. House on Haunted Hill. I should do that with Time Machine, too....I have both versions....

My favorite double features so far=

Wild At Heart/True Romance

TCM(Original)/Halloween

Carlito's Way/Scarface

Day Of The Dead/Return Of The Living Dead

Hmmm, as it seems to be a popular mention on here, how bout this?

Van Helsing/Mummy Remake Ya know, I should actually do that sometime.....Or Van Helsing/Hellboy....

Back to seriousness, lol

The Abominable Dr. Phibes/Theatre of Blood, now that would make a damn good combo

Good Idea.....Memphis Belle and 12 O'clock High

This is the funniest fucking thing i've heard in awhile.

Another good war double feature would be

The Dirty Dozen & The Big Red One

Howard the Duck & Spawn

The Village and a German Sheissen video

Two Hands & My Left Foot.

Robocop/Escape from NY was fun, did that awhile back

The Amittyville Horror/Poltregiest

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari/Nosferatu

Phantom of the Opera/Hunchback of Notre Dame
