Welcome to Double Feature Fridays, a weekly competition in which I challenge YOU to pair the week’s new releases with your favourite older or classic films.
Each week I name the new theatrical releases as well as a few other bonus picks of my choice. Your job is to comment with what other movie you’d like to screen in a double bill with the given films, and why. You can pick any movie you want – recent, classic, whatever – just be sure get your answers in by Thursday July 19, so the judges have enough time to make their decision.
I’ll get to the movies for this week in just a second, but first it’s time to list off last week’s winners. Fingers crossed you are among them.
ROUND 6 WINNERS:
Squasher88, who paired The Amazing Spider-Man with The Fly.
Trey, who paired Katy Perry: Part of Me with Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture.
Nolahn, who paired Savages with Traffic.
Andrew Robinson, who paired The Evil Dead with The Room.
Fitz, who paired Black Snake Moan with Black Swan
