Re: Most movies you have watched in one day?
I think my record is five movies in one twenty-four hour period (I usually stop early in the morning), which I've done a few times. I usually do it because I have a bunch of movies due back at the library the next day.
I might be able to do one or two more than that if I were to break up the viewings - watch two in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening, or something along those lines. However, the way I've done it in the past I group them all together, watching one film after another - by the end of the fifth film I feel completely burned out (though it doesn't help that it's usually three or four in the morning by that point.)
The most memorable "quintuple" feature I've done: "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead," "Mafioso," "Robinson Crusoe on Mars," "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978), and "The Naked Prey."

I think 5-6 on a day off. Mostly for the Movie Challenges around these boards.

I can't really do more than three. After the third one I need to do something else.
Most recently I saw Carlos in the theater. That movie was 5.5 hours.
And two years ago I saw Where the Wild Things Are, The Box, and Men Who Stare at Goats all in one day (in the theater).

I powered through all three of the EEs of Lord of the Rings on New Year's Eve of 2004. I actually ended ROTK about an hour and a half into 2005.
Someday I will do it again, maybe when the BRs come out and I'll try to make a point to do it around Christmas, the time the movies were released.

I think 3 is my record. I have a memory of seeing all the original Star Wars movies in the theater when I was a kid in the mid 80's at some point.

If Grindhouse counts as 2 movies then 3 in theaters (I watched The Reaping before Grindhouse) at home would probally be like 6-7 when I was sick or bored a long time ago. i do rememeber watching the entire 1st season of Jeff Foxworthy with my wife in 1 setting

From 18-21, I watched 2-3 movies a day, every day. I had a Sony Wega, feet up on the TV stand, with a comfy chair.
