Here’s one tip for a better start to your week.

Turns out, “Barbenheimer” isn’t the only picture-perfect movie pairing. Whether you want something that’ll make you laugh, cry, or all of the above, there are plenty of ways to make movie night twice as nice. So grab your favorite snack and pause the Sunday scaries with...

“A Few Good Men” and “Erin Brockovich.” One is about a military lawyer who has to defend two US Marines charged with murder, while the other is about a legal assistant who helped hundreds of Californians take on a giant utility. The verdict? Both are courtroom dramas you won’t object to.

“La La Land” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Set your sights on the Golden Age of Hollywood with these two movies. “La La Land” follows two struggling artists who fall in love — and sing and dance about it. While “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” focuses on a darker side of Tinseltown.

“About Time” and “The Time Traveler's Wife.” There’s always time for Rachel McAdams. But the same can’t be said for her characters, at least in these movies. Both romance films follow young couples racing against the clock, in some surprising ways.

“Bridesmaids” and “Girls Trip.” If you’ve ever taken a trip with your crew — literally or figuratively — you know two things are practically guaranteed: big laughs and even bigger shenanigans. That’s true for these two movies, as two groups of women find themselves in some sticky situations.

“Us” and “Parasite.” Two terrifyingly good psychological thrillers that center around families — and the secrets they hide. Both are perfect for horror fans, and yes, watching with the lights on is acceptable.  

“Pride & Prejudice” and “Emma.” Calling all Jane Austen fans. Unlike “Clueless” these films are relatively straightforward Austen adaptations that follow young women looking for love, while also navigating the expectations that come with social status. Pro tip: If you have any sense and sensibility, you’ll watch them with a sweet spread.

“Wild” and “Nomadland.” Go on an adventure with the protagonists of these two films. After some heart-wrenching experiences, both women take their troubles on different solo journeys. Along the way, they find more than they expected.
