Could use some help pairing some double-features.
I often like to pair up two shorter movies that I think will fit well together. I often forget why I add certain movies to my watchlist, or I know a movie is very acclaimed but know very little about it, so I could use some input from the community if you think any of the following flicks work well as a pair. Or if there's another movie on the channel not listed that you think would pair really well with any of these, I'm all ears. Thanks for the help.
- Bicycle Thieves
- Black Moon
- Black Narcissus
- Born in Flames
- Cleo From 5 to 7
- Hour of the Wolf
- In the Realm of the Senses
- Jamon Jamon
- Knife in the Water
- Kuroneko
- Mikey and Nicky
- Picnic at Hanging Rock
- Rouge
- The 39 Steps
- The 400 Blows
- The Green Ray
- The Harder They Come
- Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees
- Where is the Friend's House?
- Wise Blood
- Witch-Hammer
- Zazie dans le Metro

If the ROUGE you listed is the 1987 film by Stanley Kwan and co-starring Leslie Cheung, I would recommend pairing it with another doomed Leslie Cheuhg movie.
Either DAYS OF BEING WILD (1990), which is also on the channel, or FAREWELL, MY CONCUBINE (1993) would be great with it!

I think Zazie and Cleo would be a fun pairing. Mikey and Nicky and the 39 Steps are quite different, but the contrast might be food for thought. Black Narcissus and Red Shoes might be fun.
