Some good pairings so far. Thanks.

I had this exact double feature last summer. The first film really put me in the mood to enjoy the second:

Flash Gordon & The Dark Knight Rises

Wait, what? A mystery/thriller about a serial killer and a war suspense about a terrorist.

How about:

Black Hawk Down / Zero Dark Thirty
Zodiac / American Psycho

I wouldn't pair up ZDT and Zodiac, seems like an odd 2 to put together.

This works better

SUMMER OF SAM - Trailer - HQ - YouTube

I stand by Zodiac / Zero Dark Thirty, and would suggest it far more so than either of those pairings. Here's why.

It's not about plot or story congruence in any way. It's all about the procedural nature of each film, the bit by bit manhunt for an unbelievably dangerous and difficult-to-find man that is contained within each narrative. Both films are very similarly structured and styled; each is a taut, edge-of-your-seat thriller that far surpasses its stipulated genre, and each tracks the long history of each most-wanted case completely effortlessly. Zodiac isn't so much a film about a serial killer, just as Zero Dark Thirty isn't really about Bin Laden or even the war on terror. Each film is far more about the primary character -- Graysmith in Zodiac, Maya in Zero Dark Thirty -- and his/her chase of their respective highly-sought-after criminals. These films are about the process of tracking down such an individual, and what that search does to a person.

I think these two movies would make a good double feature, almost a prequel and sequel of sorts. The aliens/spacecrafts look kind of similar, imo.

Licence To Kill/Casino Royale

Bachelorette/bridesmaids

When I do a doubleheader I usually pair up a drama/thriller with a comedy/action. So that we keep it all light and fun.

An example: Vertigo and Animal House.

Something gripping and surreal and then I flip the script and watch something funny to round out the night.
