Alien: Covenant: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Alien: Covenant → The Parent Trap. Same-actor twin roles are usually bad, but Fassbender's work here is good.

Eraserhead: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): The Parent Trap → Eraserhead. Parent Trap is argued as a masterpiece on the debut list, though the other host calls it merely good and Nancy Meyers' easiest film to dub a masterpiece.

Father of the Bride: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (same writer-director): Father of the Bride → The Parent Trap. Meyers directed Parent Trap after the split with Shyer; Dobbins calls it weirdly important and Lohan's double role one of the great kid performances.
    “It's one of the great kid actor performances ever.”

Lindsay Lohan: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (performance): Lindsay Lohan → The Parent Trap. Lohan is jarringly awesome playing two characters in The Parent Trap, which Simmons' daughter watched for a year.
