The Double Feature

Movie synopsis: *poke* *poke* *poke* *stab* *stab* *die*

I just got “300” on Blu-Ray from Amazon.com today, and I found myself thinking:

“Wouldn’t it be great to do a double feature with “Letters from Iwo Jima” and then wrap it up with “300″?”

Granted, “300″ may not be suitable for kids. So some changes could be made to get it a PG rating…

Then I began to think of other films that might be interesting combinations For example, I think everyone who enjoyed “Casino Royale” should check out “Layer Cake” because it’s a great opportunity to see what Daniel Craig was like “before he was Bond”, but also because the director guides the movie with a taut style and sharp eye akin to what David Fincher did with “Fight Club”.

Granted, the movies are completely different — Layer Cake is all about a mid-level drug dealer in the UK, and Fight Club is… well… hard to talk about without spoiling the ending. That said, at the end of “The Sixth Sense,” they reveal that Bruce Willis was dead all along.

So my question to the blogosphere is…

What two movies would you combine in your ideal double feature?
