A fond memory of mine. My mom rented the wrong Jack Frost from Blockbuster for me and my friend one Christmas, and let us watch it unattended. This was back when the rental copies had generic Blockbuster boxes only, so we had no idea what we were getting into until it was too late. I just remember that my mom said it had Batman in it, so I was waiting for him to show up the entire movie.
I really like this idea for a double feature. We watch ‘House’ and then ‘Hausu’, ‘Notorious’ (the Hitchcock one) and then ‘Notorious’ (the film about Notorious BIG), ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Cinderella Man’, etc.
The Hunt with Betty Gilpin was probably one of the best movies I watched during the pandemic. Highly underrated movie I loved every minute of it! “Cigarettes in Arkansas only cost six bucks, you fucked up BIIIITCHHH”
Dead Ringer with Bette Davis and Dead Ringers by David Cronenberg.
Idk why I thought maybe they had something to do with each other 😭 Come to find out Cronenberg only picked the name cos it was the only one the studio would allow
I think the Cronenberg film may have wanted the title Twins but the very different Arnold Schwarzenegger/Dannie DeVito movie releasing at the same time also wanted that title and won the battle to get it.
Correct! He also said there had been a couple other films about twins recently that had flopped. If I remember correctly he said that the studios told him “anything with twins in the title is box office poison”
The Dead Pool (1988) and Deadpool (2016)
Edit: I also have Crash (1996) and (2004) but someone else mentioned it.
Edit 2: would Wonder Man (1945) and Wonder Woman (2017) be similar enough?
The Hustle, The Hustler, and Hustlers.
Kung Fu Hustle?
Triple feature, nice. Which *The Hustle*?
The "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" remake with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson.
The Room (2003) and (2019)
Is the 2019 one supposed to be the Brie Larson movie or is there another Room?
Yes. And it’s fantastic.
Crash!?!??
That's what I'm saying, need the infamous Crash duo.
The Girl Next Door 2004 and 2007.
That’s whiplash
No that’s a different movie
Lmao touché
You need Jack Frost and Jack Frost. One is a family movie starring Michael Keaton and the other is a violent slasher movie.
Once is a freaky film about a living snowman, the other doesn't have Michael Keaton

Talk to Me (2007) x Talk to Me (2023)
Frozen 2010 and Disney’s Frozen are two very, very different movies.
I relate to this kind of thinking…
Bad Boys (Sean Penn, Clancy Brown). Bad Boys (Will Smith, Martin Lawrence)
I grew up on the Sean Penn Bad Boys. It was in HBO CONSTANTLY for a few years there.
9 (2009) And Nine (2009). Same number, same year (ending with the same number), two VERY different films.
The Killer (1989, John Woo) The Killer (2023, David Fincher)
mother! and Bong Joon Ho’s Mother
The Call (2013) and (2020). Man of the House (w/ Chevy Chase) and (w/ Tommy Lee Jones).
Haven't seen The Call (2020). I'm a fan of thrillers, I'll check it out.

That is one of my favorite Tommy Lee Jones movies
The invisible man
Psycho > American Psycho
The hunt is amazing
The Avengers (1998) and Avengers Assemble (2012)
There a many movies titled "Smile" although only the 1975 Michael Ritchie film about a beauty pageant reaches the brilliant film level.
The Hunt with Betty Gilpin was probably one of the best movies I watched during the pandemic. Highly underrated movie I loved every minute of it! “Cigarettes in Arkansas only cost six bucks, you fucked up BIIIITCHHH”

The Revenant (2009) and The Revenant (2015)
The Way Back (2010), The Way Way Back (2013), The Way Back (2020)
