This question were suggested by "Schott's Food & Drink
Miscellany" by Ben Schott.

What do the following films have in common?

Bad Taste
C.H.U.D.
Delicatessen
Ravenous
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Titus

Can you suggest other in-common films that don't have
the shared feature in the title?

What the C stands for.

Ahem! See above.

Okay, here's a list:

Dave
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Mars Attacks!

These are the only three films I know of that have this exact feature
in common, although there may be others I don't know about, and there
certainly are others if you allow for a more general form of the feature.

The actor playing the US President plays at least one other part in
the film?

The sea squirt, when young, seeks a rock to which it can anchor
itself. Once it finds a rock, it will stay there the rest of its
life. When it has been anchored, it no longer needs its brain, so it
eats it. Sort of like getting tenure. -- Molly Ball

I found several more examples, some obscure, but there is at least one more
common one. Actually, there is something unusual about one of the films
mentioned above. Do you know what it is?
