Bad double-features or mini-festivals

A silly game, but why not? I was joking with a friend last night about movies that should probably never be paired together, because the titles just don't work without a whole bunch of awkward going on.

Like ...

"Scent of a Woman" and "A Fish Called Wanda"

Or a mini-festival with "8 1/2," "9," "9 1/2 Weeks," and "10."

Any others come to mind?

How about "Blue Velvet," "Purple Rain," "Red Sonja," "Yellow Submarine," "Grey Gardens," and "White Nights."

EDIT:

"Sixteen Candles," "Twelve Monkees," "Three Kings," "Two Women," "Four Weddings and a Funeral," and "Thirteen Ghosts."

With a nod to Mr. Sondheim (I think a Broadway-themed version of the game might be fun, BTW):

Apocalypse Now
28 Weeks Later
Too Much, Too Soon.

(I confess to asking IMDb for a "soon" option--I couldn't think of one. Rather than go with the impossibly tawdry-looking "Coming Soon" ('Coming'--get it??? Tee-hee....) I went with the obscure but high(er) brow 'Too Much Too Soon'. I confess to never having heard of it before this morning. I hope that doesn't disqualify me from the Game.)
