Your nightmare double feature? Mine: Titanic and The English Patient
Tried to watch some of Titanic tonight, to see if it was as bad as I remembered it. It was worse. That and The English Patient would be my nightmare, roast in hell double feature. Yours?

1. Oh, dear god, that would be awful.
I think I'll go with a bad science-fiction sequel double-feature theme.

Matrix Reloaded and Star Trek Nemesis.

3. You hit the nail on the head
and all "target-hitting" related cliches to that effect.

I actually *did* sit through the English Patient but will NEVER sit through the Titanic if I can help it. The only thing that could have made Titanic a more repelling prospect for me would be if Michael Douglas was in it.

5. Bingo! I would falter under torture if forced to watch those films
Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine had to sit through "The English Patient" a SECOND time because she lied to Peterman that she hadn't seen it. She had exactly my reaction to the movie. I LOATHED it.

6. Mine would be
a Canadian film called "Perfect Pie"---hideous, hideous. Stay away. If you see it advertised, run in fear. Also, "Grace of My Heart". Hated the film...just hated it.

8. The Birth of a Nation followed by Corvette Summer
At least The Birth of the Nation didn't have that ugly car.
