The only problem with this double featture would be the carnage which would result when people who had seen it leave the theater & pull out of the parking lot.) King's Row / The Last Picture Show (The 2 best movies of the "Peyton Place" genre - i.e., those in which the entire population of a small town are the supporting cast.) Enter the Dragon / Kentucky Fried Movie (The latter contains a lengthy parody of the former.) A Hard Day's Night / Head (The Beatles as directed by Richard Lester, & the Monkees as scripted by Jack Nicholson. The antecedents of modern "music videos" can be seen in the rapid-pace editing of these movies.) On the Waterfront / Raging Bull (A fighter who lost his contender status because he took a dive, & another who got a shot at the title for the same reason, as portrayed by the most influential actors of their times. "Raging Bull" concludes with DeNiro reciting Brando's "I could have been a contender" speech from "On the Waterfront" - an actor portraying a real-life figure imitating an actor portraying a fictional character : Pirandello-esque, wouldn't you say ?)
