Persona vs.The Exorcist. Two great takes that taste great together. Also, I’d offer psilocybin mushrooms as an appetizer since my fantasy double feature would be at the Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Austin. Boo-Yaa!!!

Tron followed by Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan, because the shit rhymes. We’ll call it Tron-Khan. I know Bridges is on-board. Let’s hear it for Boxleitner! Anyone? Bridges and Boxleitner together again. Flynn’n’Tron, knee-deep in it. Right, guys?
I already saw one of the best double features ever, which was Jules and Jim and La Strada in San Francisco for 9 dollars.
what about Rio Bravo/Assault on Precinct 13 (the original) – though it’s an obvious pairing.
Anyone who lives in San Francisco should know the Castro theater has the best double features. And anyone not in san francisco should go to the castro theater website and see what they’re running just to get ideas. beautiful theater.
Just to procrastinate a little longer before I have to file that damn stack of classical music cds…..
