Three is a magic number, and it’s also perfect for a thematic film mini-festival; you can do it over a drunken night with friends or a long weekend with guest speakers.  You can introduce a new or unknown film by making it the filling in a cinematic baguette, between the delicious crusty bread of more mainstream works.  Triple features can be silly, meaningful, entertaining, weepy, and if you’re lucky, all of them at once.  Take your shot, readers, the Solute Cinerama is open and you can run the programming this thread.  No entry fee is required but you must indicate the theme of your triple feature.  (Also indicate any lecture or snacks.)  Let’s get started:
