J.J ABRAMS & STEVEN SPIELBERG
BRING BACK MEMORIES WITH SUPER 8!

When these two film titans got together to recapture the spirit of movies like E.T, I was thrilled.  It’s been a while since a movie came along and delivered a little nostalgia for people of my generation.  The film fans who were children when Goonies was released.  Hopefully this starts a trend for a new generation of amazing and magical movies.

Double features.

We’ve all enjoyed movie marathons from time to time.  Matching two worthy movies together can be pretty challenging.  Sometimes it’s tough to decide which two go together.  Others are a little more obvious.

Some get inspired during the first movie and choose the next film accordingly.  Others plan ahead.  Some simply watch the same combos over and over again until they become cherished traditions.

Honestly, as I stared at my DVD collection, I could have easily named about 50 billion different combinations but  I had to stop somewhere.

What are some of your favorite double features?
