double feature
Two-film movie event
A double feature is a showing of two films for a single admission price, once standard practice at movie theaters.
The term now applies loosely to any paired presentation: We made it a double feature and watched both sequels back to back.
The practice has largely disappeared from commercial theaters but survives at revival houses and drive-ins.
