What makes a good double feature?
I guess what I am looking for here more than anything is a little feedback. I have been brewing in my head lately what makes a good double bill... specifically with genre cinema. Should the two films be related thematically? Two films about cars? Actors? Coffy and Black Mama/White Mama? Should they always be of the same genre? Like a sci-fi event? Should they be a complete contrast? Or should they be some mix of these? I'm open to any and all ideas and suggestions here. Let me know what you feel works. Give me some examples of genre films that work together if you want. Being the OCD collector-type that I am, I lean more toward creating some sort of theme between the two films. The easy answer is to match the genres. If I were to put on a show, I'd go toward a Blaxploitation night... or a Zombie night for example. While this would entertain me (and calm that always screaming OCD voice in my head), I'm not sure it would be the best solution to entertain the most number of vi...
