Can anyone remember a movie with a split-screen?

    The Andromeda Strain, old-school sci-fi from a Crichton book ...

    All three of the Ocean's (11, 12, 13) movies, I think.

    Wall Street, the scene where the stock tip flies around on the phone ... Oliver Stone himself is in one of the vignettes, I think ...

    Correct. A noble attempt on Mike Haggis' part.

    Sirs, Madames,

    Back in the 80s I saw a restoration of Napoleon, a French silent film that featured--in the last reel anyway--a screen divided three ways. (Originally it called for three separate projectors.) It was an interesting experience but the print was pretty wrecked in sections. Very limited run with orchestra accompanying. Can't see it in DVD in North America. Arguably one of the great lost films, certainly one of the most ambitious of early cinema history.

    YD&OHS, etc

    Woodstock, the movie
     
  5. There's an excellent split-screen shot in The Rules of Attraction, when James Van Der Beek and the cute girl from "40 Days and 40 Nights" are waking up on Saturday morning to walk to the same class.

    Conversations with Other Women was done entirely in split screen.

    If memory serves, Annie Hall had a couple of scenes. The Truth About Cats and Dogs, too ... (Janine Garafolo and Ben Chaplin talking on the phone -- her in her apartment on one side, him in his on the other)

    The Boston Strangler (1968) Starring Tony Curtis, Henry Fonda and George Kennedy was split screen too.

    When Harry Met Sally - there's split screen when they're in bed in their separate apartments watching "Casablanca" together over the phone.

    Sideways, when the boys are driving through the wine country, right to where they meet the Sandra Oh character.

    Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen have a bunch of them - along with all kinds of other funky transitions.
