Aptly Themed Double Features
 

SCM Gave us this...

AND I thought "Mmm, that's a good idea, a themed double feature."

Let me make it clear though, sequels and remakes don't count! SCM's Ant-ilicious theme is great as would be "Steamboat Willy" and "Ben", "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" and "Monkeyshines" but not "Nightmare on Elm Street" #1-37, that's just OCD. And don't think that you can get away with a link around a single character, story or actor, be inventive like our good friend SCM was - "ants" what a theme!

Watch 2 or more thematically linked flicks and give us a report as to how it worked out for you!

I'm off to think of a theme for my evenings viewing now.

Happy linking!:woot:

I think I might be watching Arachnid tonight, so I'll watch The Amazing Spiderman afterwards

Another one would The Devil's and The Devil's Backbone

Tonight I are mostly watchin'...

"The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad"

"The Fantastic Voyage"

Where's my wetsuit and ogre repellent?

King Kong (1933) and The Valley of Gwangi

"...And God Created Woman"

"Frankenstein Created Woman"

Just don't ask who created me!

I'm a failure, I realise this but when all I have to do is watch two films and tell people "this was a) good, b) bad or c) the idea of a fat, bad-speakin' Northerner and all I actually do is watch the featurettes on the "Sinbad" dvd... Oy, oy, oy!
Not a total washout though, the Ray Harryhausen feature, may his name always be revered, narrated by Leo Nard Nee Moy, the ACT or, was well worth being sidetracked by and well worth the £1.99 that I paid in the charity shop. RE-EE-EE-SULT!
