If you're talking about an independent theatre, what you're looking for is something that will benefit from being shown in a theatre in terms of the A/V, but nothing that requires, like, IMAX or whatever. So, visually pretty movies and movies where sound / music is important, but not crazy VFX spectacles. And of course they have to be indy or cult films; nothing big budget or massively popular.
I'm going with Kontroll (2003) and Drive (2011). I considered Pan's Labyrinth (2006) and Intacto (2001), either of which would also work.
Another thought I had was maybe to do a Terry Gilliam double-header with Brazil and 12 Monkeys but I think that would result in people going nuts before the end of the second feature and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad outcome in this hypothetical.
