Actually I just went back and had a look at your posts and Zabriskie Point and Vanishing Point is actually a very good pairing. Perhaps I should have paired Blow Up with Wonderwall! Or perhaps Bunny Lake Is Missing. Another good winter evening's viewing would be Night Of the Demon and The Haunting.

I have an idea for the most confusing double-feature of all-time. One of my favorite movies is Heaven Can Wait (1978), an "afterlife" fantasy starring and directed by Warren Beatty. It is a remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941). What's confusing about Beatty's Heaven Can Wait is that there was another 1940's fantasy film entitled "Heaven Can Wait", which was made in 1943, with an unrelated plot. an entirely different story. At the time Beatty's film was released in 1978, the movie company, Beatty, the cast, and movie critics had to go out of their way to explain to everybody that the new Heaven Can Wait was not a remake of the 1943 Heaven Can Wait, but instead, a remake of the 1941 Here Comes Mr. Jordan. So my idea for a double feature would be to remake the 1943 Heaven Can Wait and call it Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Then release it alongside the 1978 Heaven Can Wait as a double-feature.
Smokey and the Bandit Hooper Sally and Burt burn up the screen with chemistry. Ok, ok Smokey and the Bandit Convoy
"Planet of the Apes" and its sequel "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" are always a good double feature. I know that "Planet of the Apes" was paired up with "One Million BC" for a double feature, and in the UK, "Planet" was paired with the second sequel "Escape from the Planet of the Apes"
Our local ballpark was (is) having drive in movies in their parking lot this summer. They had a double feature of Major League and Bull Durham. A good fun double feature. I didn't go but my cousins were have a lengthy texting conversion about whether Bull Durham was appropriate for their kids.
The Three Days of the Condor Rubicon (AMC TV Series) Rubicon was directly influenced by Three Days of the Condor, and has the same feeling, and nearly the same plot. Not a movie, I know, but it's a short one-season show. The Conversation Enemy of the State Gene Hackman plays, more or less, the same character in Enemy of the State, just older and crankier. Also a nice play on contrasts, from Coppola's understated, almost muted, directing style, to Scott's over-the-top action frenzy.
In Dallas many moons ago, saw Freaks and Eraserhead at a midnight showing.... scared the hell out of me........ Its only a movie......... its only a movie
I saw that double feature too in central NY in 1979 or 1980. My girlfriend and I took her 7 year old brother and 9 year old sister. They had both liked Elephant Man.
