_Ghostbusters_ and _Gremlins_
_Blade Runner_ and _The Thing_
_Toy Story_ and _Casino_

_Barbie_, directed by Greta Gerwig
For the „Barbenheimer” double feature, we recommend that you see _Barbie_ first. You want to start your day off with the magical _Barbie_ world — which will probably make you cry a little because, let’s face it, it is a Greta Gerwig movie — before you jump into the more serious tone of _Oppenheimer_. Heck, you might even do _Barbie_, _Oppenheimer_, then _Barbie_ again, like Margot Robbie suggests.
_Oppenheimer_, directed by Christopher Nolan
For the „Barbenheimer” double feature, we recommend that you see _Oppenheimer_ first. You want to start your day with a thrilling epic that only Christopher Nolan can pull off. You know this one needs to be seen on the big screen, and you can’t wait to experience it. Like Issa Rae, you think _Oppenheimer_ into _Barbie_ is the PERFECT order.
