Oh yes! Though I would have to take two boxes of kleenex with me.

(You know I love Uncle Chris.)

Red Dust...Mogambo
The Westerner...Man of the West

[RedRiver]

King Me, those are great choices. I like the match of the first and last Supermans. The two WW2 stories complement each other. And two giant monkeys! Can you beat that?

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW and McCLINTOCK
BRINGING UP BABY and WHAT'S UP, DOC?
RED RIVER and THE LAST PICTURE SHOW (Did somebody already say this?)
I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG and TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN
FRANKENSTEIN and GODS AND MONSTERS

ON THE WATERFRONT and STREETCAR is an obvious choice. And a good one. How about another labor relations story to go with "Waterfront"? EDGE OF THE CITY? We could pair "Streetcar" with GLASS MENAGERIE!

[JackFavell]

Hey, thanks for the big old Chicago "hello" ! You always know it's VDAY when Jason Robards turns up!

Dead End/Angels With Dirty Faces

[MichiganJ]

7th Victim / Rosemary's Baby (Their Satanic Majesties Request)
Barton Fink / Synecdoche New York (It's always the fish mongers)
American Splendor / Crumb (When they were comic books, not graphic novels)
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman / Incredible Shrinking Man (Size matters)
Metropolis / Avatar (Visuals and effects that changed cinema plus preachy stories)
The Walking Dead / The Devil Commands (Underrated and terrific Karloff performances )
Belle de Jour / The Whip and the Body (It's a fine line between...)
The Big Easy / Body Heat (Is it hot in here or is just me?)
The Blob / ( Pretty much everything works with The Blob)
The Big Lebowski / Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Dude!)
Bottle Rocket / Clerks (Low and lower budget directorial debut classics)
Bullets Over Broadway / Adaptation ("Don't speak", write.)
Castle of Blood / Black Sunday (Obvious, but a double-bill I do often)
The Commitments / Dazed and Confused (Classic R & B and 70s rock 'n roll, what's not to love?)
Dark City / Moon (What Science Fiction is meant to be.)
Equinox / Dinosaurus (I should have thought of this pairing years ago. C'mon Saturday afternoon!)
Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde / Dracula's Daughter (The women's turn)
An Education / Adventureland (Why do fools fall in love?)
ffolks / Juggernaut (Terrific 70s mayhem on the high seas that doesn't involve sharks)
Golden Dawn / Madam Satan (Two of the pre-codiest of pre-codes)
Ghost World / Rushmore (I always thought that I was the only geek in school)
Help! / Head (Opening tunes are Help! and The Porpoise Song. Crank 'em up.)
Kika / Network (TV has a lot to answer for)
Something Wild / Diary of a Lost Girl (The Brooks' haircut, and then some)
Super 8 / Son of Rambow (If only I'd gotten that movie/video camera I begged for as a kid)

[JackFavell]

There was a time when Barton Fink was my favorite movie. I'm so glad you mentioned it. It doesn't get much press anymore.

I like the Seventh Victim/Rosemary's Baby pairing!

The Big Lebowski and Fear and Loathing are two completely different highs.

As for the rest, I have a lot of movie watching to do!

[RedRiver]

Believe it or not, HEAD has a pretty good score. It's not The Monkees best work. But I like "The Porpoise Song." There's a Nesmith tune called "Circle Sky." Davy Jones does one of his song and dance numbers. One of the strangest movies I've ever seen.

[ChiO]

And the highlight of HEAD is, of course:
