I can think of two truly great ones:

The first was at a drive-in when I was in high school (early '70s) – **MASH** and **Patton**.

The second was a serendipitous pair of rentals – **Sid and Nancy** and **Sunset Blvd.**.

What’s the best double feature you’ve ever seen?

I caught **Brave New World** and **Sleeper** back to back at a SF conference once. It was hysterical. After Huxleys doom and gloom\*\* Sleeper\*\* literally put everyone on the floor.

it was also about 1 am… we’d been conferencing all day… take about punch drunk!

I remember a marquee for a double screen theater a few years back:

I went to see Star Trek II and III once at a cheap theater. Admission was a dollar.
