Movies: suggested double bills?
Do you think any of these pairs would be suitable to see back to back?
Criterion: similar, but not like watching Rocky, Rocky 2 or other series sequels.
Pair 1, theme - hustles and twists
House of Games (dir. David Mamet 1987) starring Lindsay Crouse, Joe Mantegna
The Music of Chance (Philip Haas 1993) James Spader, Mandy Patinkin
Pair 2, whimsical sci-fi
Silent Running (Douglas Trumbull 1971) Bruce Dern
Dark Star (John Carpenter 1973)
Pair 3, UK revenge dramas
Dead Man's Shoes (Shane Meadows 2004) Paddy Considine
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (Mike Hodges 2003) Clive Owen
Any other thoughts about thematic two-of-a-kind?
here are some I wouldn't mind seeing back-to-back:

2. ROAD TO PERDITION (2002): About Irish-American gangsters in early '30s Illinois; features Tom Hanks as a hit man for mob boss Paul Newman.

Fenton saw his dad as evil, while Adam saw him as a hero.
