Well, I might be willing to sit through FTaRH in order to see R&RHS, except that
I have R&RHS on videotape, so I can see it without inflicting FTaRH upon myself.

> Porky's / Diner

Ditto.

Everyone's mentioned the obvious double feature of THE SEVEN SAMURAI / THE MAG-
NIFICENT SEVEN, but no one's mentioned the triple feature of THE SEVEN SAMURAI /
THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN / BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS.

Or how about this for another triple feature:

CAPRICORN ONE / JAWS II / SATURN 3   [Audience 0]

I'm also surprised that no one (that I can recall) mentioned FAIL SAFE / DR.
STRANGELOVE.

And if you want remakes together with originals, there's always the golden
turkey festival of:

IT CONQUERED THE WORLD / ZONTAR -- THE THING FROM VENUS   and
THE ASTOUNDING SHE CREATURE / CREATURES OF DESTRUCTION

The distinction of the remakes here, is that as bad (and I mean *really* bad) as
the originals were, the remakes were (shudder!) even worse!

And then there's IT THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE / NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST /
DEMON PLANET / QUEEN OF BLOOD / ALIEN.  If you've seen them all, you'll why.
