[David Lambert]

Tron and The Matrix

Now THAT is inspired! That one and the Frankenstein/Robocop one are the kind of suggestions I'm looking for!!

And I thought of a new one myself, after watching Towering Inferno last night. The other half of the double should not be Earthquake. It should be Die Hard.

 

[Larry Sutliff]

BICENTENIAL MAN and BLADE RUNNER
PLATOON and BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

[David Lambert]

Mike, a slew of excellent suggestions! Thanks!

BICENTENIAL MAN and BLADE RUNNER

I'll save this one for the BR rerelease!
Clerks/OS is inspired!

 

[Mario Bartel]

Man of the Century + Legend of 1900

 

[Chris Brown]

"Joe Vs. The Volcanoe" and "Office Space" for comedy

"Die Hard" and "True Lies" for Action

"Saving Private Ryan" and "Teh Hunt for Red October" for war

"Apollo 13" and "shawshank redemption" for drama

 

[Daniel J]

I suggested Towering Inferno + ID4 because of the "disater movie" theme, but Die Hard would work very well!
here's some more:
Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie and Rush Hour
Rising Sun and Rush Hour II
Bridge on the River Kwai and Star Trek VI
Work well, and you will be treated well! Work badly; you will die.
Jaws and Jurassic Park
Romancing the Stone and The Great Muppet Caper
The Usual Suspects and Mission: Impossible (or Memento, I can't decide.)

 

[Ted Todorov]

All The President's Men & Dick
Titanic & The Chambermaid on the Titanic
Diva & Subway
Going Places & Get out Your Handkerchiefs
Tadpole & Beau Pere

JURASSIC PARK & WESTWORLD

Good one..."high-end amusement parks gone wrong" theme. I like it. :wink:

 

[ed_josef]

"Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes)" and "That Obscure Object of Desire"

 

[Jim Peavy]

Some friends and I once tried to come up with some of the most inappropriate double features. My contribution? THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and DIRTY HARRY!
I even came up with a tag line for it: "Moses makes 'em, and Harry breaks 'em!"

 

[Jim Peavy]

Funny!

 

[Daniel J]

JURASSIC PARK & WESTWORLD

Glad someone remembered that one.
How about Waterworld and The Postman?
Ghost in the Shell with The Matrix is cool (if obvious)

 

[Christian Dolan]

How about "Brainstorm" and "Strange Days"? Both deal with a form of technology that records peoples' experiences directly from the brain.
