The Perfect Asteroid City Double Feature, According to the Cast of Asteroid City 

Incredible to hear such interesting discussion from the cast rather than the usual press junket banality. Great interviews.

That’s such a fun question, everyone had really different answers that were wonderfully reflective of themselves in so many ways. Good job!

I love this!!! And I need double feature to be a thing on the site somehow.

The one that sticks out the most to me as being a good double feature is Nope.

I'm think Ed Wood would be a good choice. Both are about the behind the scenes lives of the characters while at the same time you get to see a production playing out.

I think Asteroid City would pair well with Joe Dante's Explorers, Joe Dante's Matinee, The Iron Giant, and October Sky

I think that "To be or not to be" would be the perfect B-Side, its about the actors of a play

Also for Scarjo's pick, Pulp Fiction features Maya's mom, Uma Thurman.

The writer who did Being John Malcovich. His movies are often a story within a story. That's your B-side!

the life aquatic with steve zissou- they’re both movies about the unknown, in different forms (space and the ocean), and people’s relationships, being explored by the same director. i also think asteroid city and life aquatic are wes’s two most heartfelt films.

Asteroid city and holes ?

Vanya on 42nd street or maybe bird man?

Surprised nobody mentioned The Day The Earth Stood Still, or, for movies about making movies, Singing In The Rain.

I've heard Werckmeister Harmonies works too.

really good interview

Bad day at black rock is the best double feature for Asteroid city

People did a lot of Barbie/Oppenheimer double features, but I think an Asteroid City/Oppenheimer double feature would be absolutely perfect. Both about a group of people stranded on a scientific retreat in the middle of the desert, but completely opposing vibes

At one time I was considering NO Hard Feelings as a double feature with AC

My mind simply went: "Mad Max, because deserts"

"Living in Oblivion" is the definitive answer for a double feature.

Magnificent Ambersons

MARS ATTACK ! an other Human/Alien meeting in the U.S desert !

The War of the Worlds (1953) or The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 😜

Dr. Strangelove

I'd nominate Eraserhead - the nuclear/family/nuclear-family anxieties quietly bubbling underneath the surface in Asteroid City's colorful dreamland exploding into a visceral pitch-black nightmare.

to stay in theaters my pick would be transformers: rise of the beasts

Birdman The Bad and the Beautiful Galaxy Quest Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Magnolia Matilda

hear me out…..the incredibles (circling around similar themes of exceptionalism, the masks we wear even with our loved ones, 50s/60s retrofuturism) or at the risk of being too repetitive, drive my car

The Forbidden Planet

0:30 Tell me you are a Nepo baby without telling me you are a Nepo baby

Scarlet saying Pulp Fiction felt like a subtly ironic acknowledgment that this video/app/situation is stupid

Hey Letterboxd, it’s spelled “whoa,” not “woah.” Don’t be part of the problem.

most overrated director
