Many years ago, a New Statesman competition asked for triple bills of films which might make a good program. The one that my kids and I remember fondly was: On the beach/Jaws/A farewell to arms.

I thought we might open it to plays and books as well.

Have fun!

Is it okay to mix media?

Romeo & Juliet/Arsenic and Old Lace/From Here to Eternity

I love paulb's example but can't think of any similar titles. So here's another mixed one (in a slightly different way); all I could dream up:

Rocky/Horror Picture/Showboat

The Grapes of Wrath/Wine for Dummies/For Whom the Bells Toll

I've just come back from a Booker Prize Evening (Margaret Atwood won) so it will have to be:
Midnight's Children / Rites of Passage /The Old Devils

Romeo and Juliet/Persuasion/Bringing up Baby

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid/Duel/Death in the Afternoon

Apocalypse Now/A Close Shave/Heaven Can Wait

("A close shave" is the Oscar-winning 2nd Wallace and Gromit classic from the Nick Parks team.)

Breakfast at Tiffany's/Long day's journey into night/Sleepless in Seattle

Oh I give up... I still like your first one best.
