Classic Comedy Double Features Will Dominate Starz In November
Halloween has come and gone, so now that horror has had it's day, it's time to give way to the natural antidote to fear: comedy! Throughout the course of November, Starz is going to be running double features each and every night, starting tonight at 9 PM EST. While there's a lot of films to choose from, we'd like to point out some of our choice pairings that will be airing throughout the month. Considering we're only a week away from a hotly contested national election, everyone should be able to enjoy a good load of laughter after what we've all been through. Here now is Starz' comedy line-up for November:
The month kicks off with a Summer themed two-fer, as Summer Rental with John Candy and Summer School with Mark Harmon both air tonight. Considering how warm it was a couple of days ago, someone in the programming department must have their own healthy sense of humor, and it shows. Other notables in this group are the rom-com classic Sleepless in Seattle, which is airing with another underrated John Candy flick, John Hughes' Only The Lonely. Finally, if you're a big Ben Stiller fan, Dodgeball and There's Something About Mary are here to help.

The Big Lebowski will be the first film up on November 6th, with Me, Myself & Irene following up right after. If you ever wondered who wore anger best, Jim Carrey or John Goodman, your time is now. Also on Election Night, a very fitting double bill will be running with Nicholas Cage guarding Shirley McClaine in Guarding Tess in the 9 PM slot, and My Fellow Americans showing Jack Lemmon and James Garner uncovering some political malfeasance at 11 PM. Mike Meyers fans, you may want to pay attention to the line-up on the 10th.

The Blues Brothers and Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life pair up two classic comedy teams for one night of overwhelming laughter on November 13th, while those of you looking for something a little Patrick Dempsey-er can watch Sweet Home Alabama and Made of Honor on November 11th. Even better, if you like workplace comedy, or you're just an Office Space fan, you can get your fix with Mike Judge's classic on the 15th; followed by some more office hijinks at 11pm with Working Girl.

If we have to tell you to watch The Money Pit and Big on 11/16, then frankly we don't know if we can be friends with you anymore. A double feature of Tom Hanks goodness is something that no sane individual can consciously pass up, especially considering Hanks' laugh in The Money Pit is up there with his portrayal as the true sign of our times, David S. Pumpkins. Though if you do miss that night's entertainment, you can make it up to yourself on November 17th, as A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures take the night by storm.

Three sequel pairings are up for laughs, with Airplane and Airplane II: The Sequel airing on 11/21 and The Flintstones and its sequel, Viva Rock Vegas, taking center stage on 11/24. Rounding out the double trouble festival is Cheech and Chong, with some Nice Dreams airing on 11/25 at 9 pm and their Next Movie following behind at 11 pm.

We close out the November line-up with some educated tom-foolery on November 26th and 27th, as the first night has Superbad and Risky Business on deck; while the following night showcases Dazed and Confused and Back to School. Hitting the books has never been more fun, though we do end the month with more grown-up fare, as Cheaper by the Dozen, In & Out, and The Object of My Affection all fill the last two days of the month, with Hot Shots! Part Deux mixing things up as well.
