More Double Features

Last week I posted some suggestions for double features. As the nights grow longer and colder I thought y'all could stand a few more recommendations.

The Wizard of Oz & Wild at Heart: David Lynch's Palm d'Or winning road movie makes several overt references to The Wizard of Oz, with mean ole' Diane Ladd standing in as the Wicked Witch.

Taxi Driver & The King of Comedy: Both star Robert DeNiro and both were directed by Martin Scorsese. Strictly speaking King is a dark comedy while Taxi Driver is a hellish descent into an urban inferno. But somehow DeNiro's portrayal of the delusional comedian Rupert Pupkin is just as frightening and unnerving as his portrayal of the gun-wielding Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver.

Female Trouble & Mommie Dearest: John Waters's cult classic and the notorious Faye Dunaway vehicle are both campy as hell, and they show mothering at its horrifying (and hilarious) worst.

The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert & The Limey: Don't miss this chance to see Terence Stamp transform from a tart, lovable drag queen to a ruthless killer.

Peggy Sue Got Married & Serial Mom: See two of Kathleen Turner's most amusing performances back-to-back. Francis Ford Coppola's charming film finds her as depressed housewife whisked back to her high school glory days, while John Waters skewers this All-American pluckiness to depict an insatiable serial killer who just happens to be the world's most perfect stay at home mom.
