    What are some examples of great movie double-bills, featuring one documentary film and one dramatic (scripted) film?

    How about the documentary When We Were Kings followed by Michael Mann's Ali?

    Or the Bob Dylan documentary Don't Look Back followed by Todd Haynes' I'm Not There?

    Any thoughts?

    Apocalypse now and hearts of darkness
    Fitzcarraldo and burden of Dreams


    Two really obvious ones, but still!

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Project Nim are a decent double bill, though the latter might lessen the former a bit. Probably like watching Blackfish after you watch Free Willy :p

    Senna & Rush

    Ironically though the former is the even better drama. ;)

    A few more that came to mind:

    Anvil! The Story of Anvil & This Is Spinal Tap
    Best Worst Movie (Or American Movie) & Ed Wood
    Bowling for Columbine & Elephant
    Crumb & American Splendor
    The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness & any Miyazaki masterpiece (Princess Mononoke gets my vote)
    The Punk Singer & We Are the Best!
