Some friends and I created an imaginary drive-in that would pair movies together with “themes”. For instance, for Mother’s Day, we paired “Mommie Dearest” with “Alien” ( ships computer was named “mother”). My favorite was the double feature of “Bambi” with ”The Deer Hunter”
This Saturday evening's DVD double bill consists of Heathers (1989) and The Faculty (1998), a pair of cults that belong together. Just started on the second one...
Saw Echo In The Canyon tonight, and made me think of another double-bill from left field: The film they mention in the doc, Model Shop (1969), paired with Tom Dowd and the Language Of Music, a doc putting Dowd's produdced work into perspective. (It's probably a better thematic pairing with Standing In The Shadows Of Motown, but that's too much doc for your significant other to let you geek-out on in one evening). Other option: Echo In The Canyon (2019), soon as released for home viewing, with Love and Mercy (2014), focusing on one of the Canyon's highest-profile residents dramatically, with loads of historical/musical details they got right without gumming up the dramatics.
Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Cary Elwes then wakes up. He is no longer leading a life of romance, of glamour. He is back in Saw, and a life of terror. Ok..ok..that was a bit of a stretch.
To be fair, I believe that this is the first time I have ventured into the visual arts area of the forum so I thought I would leave a small contribution. Time wad tight so I did not get much of a chance to read through the thread. However, if you chose the same two films then I can only say that great minds think alike. I was going to choose 2001 a Space Odyssey but thought these two fitted better as a pairing.
