I have Surf Nazis Must Die on DVD; it was one of the movies my wife bought me. It's like it was made by first year film students who were totally high.
That last 10 minutes is hysterical.....................but yeah it's almost unwatchable.
I say almost because the classic B-Movie "The Room" set the standard for unwatchable.
The Room, back-to-back against The Disaster Artist, would be an absolutely amazing double feature.
In a similar vein, Troll 2 back-to-back with Best Worst Movie would be more than slightly epic.
For those who prefer their B-movies covered in a rich layer of zombie-themed cheese, 1987's Zombie Nightmare against also 1987's Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare. Both nightmares star the highly Canadian and likely human Jon Mikl Thor.
Goodfellas and its spiritual sequel, My Blue Heaven.
“Better Off Dead” and “Grosse Pointe Blank?”
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Make it a triple feature.
Better off dead, One crazy summer, The Sure Thing

Definitely need One Crazy Summer because of the Cute & Fuzzy Bunnies.
OK, here's a double feature for maximum whiplash between two different depictions of the same character.
Start with 300. This one's gone with how the Spartan elites' propaganda machine would portray losing to Xerxes, king of Persia. Hey, they lost, but at least their loss kept that giant inhuman monster king dude from taking over all Greece!
Follow up with VegieTales: Ester, the Girl Who Became Queen. Same King Xerxes, only depicted as an animated singing zuccinni! Or if kids' cartoons are a bit much, go with the grown-up take on the same source material, One Night With the King. Either way, the plot kicks off where Xerxes gets drunk, gets into a bizarre tiff with his queen and sends her packing, then realizes this was a bad idea when he sobers up and decides to hold tryouts for the next queen of Persia. Xerxes's subjects clearly had a different take on that guy from the Spartans.

My brother says that “Grosse Pointe Blank” is the sequel to “Better Off Dead.” Can’t argue with that.

It's like Cannonball. It's so bad it's good.
I saw it in the theater in 1975 as a 13yr old, and just saw Cannonball again recently.
Both Paul Bartel movies, so a little out there
I can't believe that Paul Bartel did not just one, but two cannonball type movies. My favorite Paul Bartel movie was Eating Raul. Imagine a comedy version of Soylent Green without Charlton Heston.

First movie I saw with PW when we started dating.
It was her suggestion, and certainly made me think I was on to something
Back in college, they ran a "Worser Movie Festival" at the student union where you paid on the way out. They longer you stayed, the less it cost to leave.
I think the bill was "Batman" (1966-- "Drat Robin, the batteries are dead!"), "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" (Michael Landon?).
I was done with "Plan 9 from Outer Space" about the time one of the police detectives started scratching his nose with the muzzle of his revolver.
In reply to Karacticus :
I remember seeing the original Batman movie in the theater when I was a kid and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Today it's pretty laughable.
"Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb."
No bad movie festival would be complete without ...

Little Fauss and Big Halsey looks interesting. Motorcycles from the 1970s.
I saw this at the theater - song and movie stuck in my head now for 50 years?
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Never heard that. Different screenwriters, different directors, different character names.
War Inc was the sequel to Gross Pointe Blank.
Emilio Estavez was brought up a couple of pages ago, so that leads me to a sci-fi car-adjacent double feature of:
Repo Man (because Emilio and something alien in the trunk of an old Malibu)
and
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension (because I'm amazed nobody has mentioned it here yet)...

At my house we quote Buckaroo Banzai "remember whereever you go there you are"
Also Repo Man. My wife made a short flim in 2006 that played at Cinevegas and the line at the end of the movie was "Let's get sushi and not pay"
Plenty of good quotes from Buckaroo Banzai.
"Laugh while you can, monkey boy!" Where are we going? Planet 10! When are we going? Real soon!"
Then there was the rocket powered F 150.

Wasn't that also a line in Beyond Thunderdome?

It's supposed to be.
When I was a kid, I thought Adam West Batman was serious.
Now that I'm a bit older, I recognize that it was camp comedy.

Not sure I just remember it from Buckaroo Banzai.
Funny that Buckaroo Banzi came up.
I saw it in the theater when it was released and loved it.
I just bought these stickers for my cars.

How about a triple feature of "Clockwork Orange", "Slap Shot" and "The Warriors"...?
The California Kid and Killdozer?
Has anybody mentioned Earth Girls are Easy? I suppose you could pair it with The Long Kiss Goodnight to make it a Geena Davis tribute, but Long Kiss is a great damn movie, so it doesn't really fit in the recent discussion. Finish with Beetlejuice and call it a night.
