Ranker's 15 Movies That Are Basically Two Movies in One

"A good movie will give you a strong story. Some good movies give you two strong stories for the price of one. It's part of the nature of storytelling that plots occasionally evolve. They start as one kind of movie, then add a plot event that sends things off in a whole new direction. Sometimes that comes through a time jump, other times because the key element that truly kicks the story into gear arrives partway through, rather than at the beginning. The following titles are all, for better or worse, essentially two movies in one. They provide viewers with a 'set-up' story, then spin it off into a complementary second story. In most cases, they could even theoretically have been released as separate short films instead of as features, because there's a minor sense of closure in those first halves. But they are features, and the two-in-one concept works well in every case, delivering an experience audience members can't stop thinking about afterward." - ranker.com
