That does make me want to raise the question:
What are your favorite "Twin Films?" essentially, films that came out around the same time (usually within a year or two of each other) and are about very similar subject matter. Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Ammonite are one of the most significant recent pairings. There's a big list of them on wikipedia, but of course there are more than what are listed there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_films --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

I'll look at the list in just a second, but the only movies I can even think of off the top of my head are White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen, and I haven't seen either of them. I'm going to assume there's a lot on there I never would've thought to compare in this way, though.

Venom & Upgrade because it's hilarious
But some others I like just going down the list: Dr. Strangelove/Fail Safe Roar/Savage Harvest The Howling/Wolfen The Day After/Threads The Return of the Living Dead/Day of the Dead Dark City/The Matrix Some are kinda questionable though, like they seem more rip-offs or a capitalization on the same idea? Like Quiet Place and The Silence, or Gremlins & Ghoulies. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back. https://imgur.com/a/du8zgsT - https://imgur.com/a/VTNzDEW ...

So these are the pairs on there where I've seen both movies listed, in order of favorites. Order is a bit loose as I like The Road more than Rambo or Commando, but I like all three of them quite a bit more than The Book of Eli so I put the pair with the weakest movie below the middling pair.
Also, unpopular opinion but I like Dark City more than the Matrix. Dark City - The Matrix The Return of the Living Dead - Day of the Dead Rambo: First Blood Part II - Commando The Road - The Book of Eli Mission to Mars - Red Planet Freddy vs. Jason - Alien vs. Predator The Amityville Horror - The Shining Street Fighter - Mortal Kombat There's two movies on my watch list, The Raid and The Wanderers, that would give me two more pairs on this list if they get picked here or if I just decide to watch them for any other reason. Snake5555555555 posted... Some are kinda questionable though, like they seem more rip-offs or a capitalization on the same idea? Like Quiet Place and The Silence, or Gremlins & Ghoulies. Yeah, even of the list of eight pairs I've seen there's a couple I wouldn't have put on this list myself. --- Huh? Finger!? What the hell? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah I'll agree there's some that are questionable, and others that I hadn't thought of at the time but make a lot of sense in hindsight. To an extent, I think it's because they can happen so many different ways, so some are basically ripoffs, while others are coincidences, and still others are intentional competition.
A few that aren't necessarily my favorite movies but my favorite examples: Jobs - Steve Jobs Once Steve Jobs died, it was basically a race to see who could put a movie out about him first. Jobs won the race but ended up with a much more poorly received movie. The Jungle Book - Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle Fun fact, Mowgli was actually intended to come out the same year as The Jungle Book, but ended up with several pushbacks, so by the time it actually came out, it was essentially written off, after Disney's had been such a success. Happy Feet - Surf's Up Probably the first one I actually remember noticing in real time. I would've been about 14 or so when Surf's Up came out, and I distinctly remember thinking "wait, another one?" before even knowing what twin films were. No Strings Attached - Friends with Benefits This has to be the most well-known examples, to the point where it kind of became a meme, because these were literally the exact same movie. No Strings Attached was even originally titled Friends with Benefits but had to change it. some of my other favorites: The Road to El Dorado - The Emperor's New Groove Freddy vs. Jason - Alien vs. Predator The Prestige - The Illusionist Repo! The Genetic Opera - Repo Men The Raid - Dredd Goodbye Christopher Robin - Christopher Robin Skate Kitchen - Mid90s PS: @Camden I highly, highly recommend both The Raid films, they're excellent --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

From that list I'd have to go with Thin Red Line/Saving Private Ryan, Fear of a Black Hat/CB4, and Babe/Gordy
A loose one that comes to mind is Elephant Man/Raging Bull. Both black and white 1980 best picture nominees where the title character has the famous line "I am not an animal!" --- You bow to no one, azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

I have no strong feelings about any of the pairs on the list from a quick glance.
Although their releases were five years apart so it doesn't fit the criteria listed, Black Swan and Whiplash have been my go-pair as far as thematic similarities go. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So for a possible future nomination, if there's two movies that aren't related to each other at all as far as story and world go, but they were initially released as a double-feature similar to Grindhouse, can I nominate watching both movies together as one movie even though they are technically two unique movies?
I've done very little research on the movies so I'm not even 100% sure I want to watch them at all yet, but I liked the idea behind them. --- Huh? Finger!? What the hell? ... Copied to Clipboard!
