I came up with these (in no particular order)...
Crumb and Louie Bluie (Terry Zwigoff)
Black Moon and Zazie dans le métro (Louis Malle)
Sweet Movie and WR: Mysteries of the Organism (Dušan Makavejev)
Jubal and 3:10 to Yuma (Delmer Daves)
Charulata and The Big City (Satyajit Ray)
Gray's Anatomy and And Everything Is Going Fine (Steven Soderbergh/Spalding Gray)
L’humanité and La vie de Jésus (Bruno Dumont)
Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter (Seijun Suzuki)
Westfront 1918 and Kameradschaft (G. W. Pabst)
I'm not including combined films released under a single spine (such as The Shooting/Ride In The Whirlwind or the Lady Snowblood films)
