Movie Titles Combinations

[Hookshot]

 

{font:Arial}Way back in the days that followed the Jurassic era, movie patrons got to see two movies with their paid admissions. As a kid, I often found this practice to be a little frustrating in the way that theatres paired the movies that they showed……{font}

 

 

{font:Arial} {font}

 

 

{font:Arial}I liked sci-fi, fantasy, Westerns, and ‘horror.’ If I wanted to see The 7^th^ Voyage of Sinbad, I might also have to watch something like Some Like It Hot. That was especially hard to do if I wanted to watch Sinbad a 2^nd^ or 3^rd^ time (if I liked a movie, I couldn’t just watch it one time, and then leave).{font}

 

 

{font:Arial} {font}

 

 

{font:Arial}That memory moved me to come up with some amusing (to me!) pairings of movie titles, only. Put together, they could be one complete thought, or they could be combined into the title of a new story. Here goes…….{font}

There is a thread on games and trivia called 2 in one movie titles. It's been there for 2 years. You might want to check it out and consider playing that game.

Thanks, lavenderblue19....I'll have to check it out.

Back in the day, a bunch of us used to do the same with song titles. Wish I could remember some...

I have a vague memory of those, also. I seem to recall that in my neck of the woods, there was a string of song titles that included Tobacco Road, by Lou Rawls. In class, a sheet of paper would pass from student to student, and each one would write a song title to add to the train of thought.

 

I haven't thought of that since the mid 1960s....thanks!
