The thing I love about Spaghetti Westerns is that America spent what, forty years? Making western films. And you know they certainly made some good ones during that time. Some perfectly serviceable cowboy movies, probably.

Then Italy comes along and they're like:

"Ok, America, that's very cute, we love what you're doing, but here's how you really do it." and made some of greatest masterpieces not just in western films, but in cinematic history in general.

Double Bill Number Seven: Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) + Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) In both movies, the main characters enter The Internet, which is used as an excuse for showcasing various characters and franchises owned by the corporation that made the movie. In both movies, a major character is played by an actor or actress who plays a super hero in the competitor's super hero universe. (Wonder Woman/Gal Gadot is Shank in Ralph Breaks the Internet and Don Cheadle/War Machine is Al G. Rhythm in Space Jam: A New Legacy)

Double Bill Number Five: Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) + Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) In Inside Llewyn Davis, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver sing a song in which they beg not to be sent into outer space. In The Force Awakens, despite their best efforts to prevent it, they are sent into outer space after all.

Double Bill Number Four: Sound of Metal (2019) + Mogul Mowgli (2020) In both films, Riz Ahmed plays a young musician (drummer & rapper), whose life changes when his body goes through unexpected and unwanted physical changes (becoming deaf in one film, diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in the other). Both movies feature stellar performances by Ahmed.

I am OBSESSED with this behind the scenes picture of Slimer because look at him, stop what you're doing right now and look at him

He looks like melted ice cream. Why does he look so sad, who hurt him, someone help my fucked up son.

He's looking at that crumpled cup on the side like he rlly wants it but he doesn't wanna move to go get it so he's staring at it like ":("

Double Bill Number Three: Good Manners (2017) + Jack & Diane (2012) Two movies that touch upon the themes of lesbian love and lycanthropy. Beyond that the movies are very different, and make for an interesting back-to-back viewing experience!

Double Bill Number Two:

Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) + Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

In both movies a group of friends meet up to spend time together in a giant mansion. They play a Murder Mystery game, and in both movies of course the mystery turns into a real murder mystery and everyone becomes incredibly paranoid. In both movies the solution to the mystery is really really dumb (so dumb it's brilliant?).

Double Bill Number One: The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004) + The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). In addition to both being fantastic adventure films full of friendship, thrills and excitement, both movies feature the banger "Ecstacy of Gold" By Ennio Morricone in their soundtracks.
