I think it might be interesting to have movie nights with a double or triple feature showing movies that are related in some way. They might be related thematically (perhaps even remakes) or in some other way such as one inspiring a part of another.
For example, one such double feature might be "Stagecoach" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The point of interest would be to see how the Stagecoach stunt scene inspired the similar scene in Raiders. (I hope I have my movies right, here). Maybe there are also other movies which also inspired parts of Raiders which would also be candidates.
Another combination might be "The Philadelphia Story" followed by "High Society", a musical version of the same story.
A triple feature might be "The Shop Around the Corner", followed by "In the Good Old Summertime" followed by "You've Got Mail". All telling the same basic story in different settings and formats.
Might folks suggest other (DVD-available) related movies that might be interesting to view together? I am not very familiar with movie history, but I bet there are hundreds of fascinating possibilities.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
