As a consumer of many films a year, I sometimes get to watch a couple in an evening, back to back.
I normally pick the second film's genre, depending on how the first film's viewing went. It's quite often that I enjoy something the polar opposite to what I've just seen.
Case in point - most recently I watched Spielberg's 'Always' (very poor slushy romance) followed 'Requiem For A Dream' (hard hitting addiction drama)
Previous to that it was 'The Force Awakens' (nuff said) followed by 'Kajaki' (brutal, gritty war film).
The exceptions to this tend to be 'Empire Strikes Back', which I almost always feel the need to revisit 'Jedi afterwards, and the 'Lord of the Rings' films, which I have to rewatch in the correct order.
It's probably because I miss the days where it was commonplace at the cinema, and I got to attend screenings like this -
So how do you guys do things?
Is the order of films carefully chosen in advance?
Does the first film influence your choice of the second?
What have you done most this most recently with?
If it's a franchise movie, are you likely to watch the next part immediately afterwards?
Do you watch a film's predecessor, immediately before a cinema visit to see the new instalment?
Do people still go to see double bills at the cinema, or did you ever?
Would you/do you ever double bill an original with a remake?
Does anyone even get time for this anymore?!
