I have put together in this post some fun combinations of movies. You could watch one on Friday night and one on Saturday or have the traditional double feature. I find my combinations compliment each other nicely. I have some comedy with drama and even animation paired with live action and even some remakes. You have probably already seen some of the older films but consider a re-viewing with my match. Of course, these choices depend on the genre of movie you like. I will leave it up to you in which order you watch them. Happy viewing!
Cars (2006) and Talladega Nights (2006)
Galaxy Quest (1999) and Trekkies (1997)
Cutting Edge (1992) and Blades of Glory (2007)
Emma (1996) and Clueless (1995)
Twilight (2008) and Lost Boys (1987)
Any Given Sunday (1999) and The Replacements (2000)
The Princess Bride (1987) and Enchanted (2007)
Soapdish (1991) and Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Nim's Island (2008) and The Last Mimzy (2007)
Bridget Jones Diary (2001) and About A Boy (2002)
Sunshine (2007) and Babylon 5: The Lost Tales (2007)
Ironman (2008) and Superman Returns (2006)
Spiderman (2002) and Batman (1989)
Open Range (2003) and Tombstone (1993)
Manhunter (1986) and Red Dragon (2002)
There are some genres I am not familiar with like horror/gore and the recent crop of comedy parody movies (like Scary Movie). If you have some suggestions to add to this list - let me know!

Great combinations. The Princess Bride rules and it's available on blu-ray! Let's hope they get the rest of your list upgraded to high-def soon.
My suggestion(s) for double features:
Well, the usual ones of watching an original with the remake/reboot right after, i.e. "The Parent Trap" movies, or "Batman" and "Batman Begins". Plus movies that co-exist in the same universe like, "The Mummy" and "The Scorpion King", or a sequel to a movie, like "Splash!" and "Splash Too". But besides the obvious, I saw "Knowing" and was pleasantly surprised that it would go well with the new version of "The Day the Earth Stood Still"! Why? Well, the motivations of the aliens for one! You should see the movies for yourself to understand what I mean by that!
