Last movie marathon you did?
From time to time I like to watch a trilogy or all movies in franchise back to back to back. It’s fun. See differences in the subsequent movies. See how they tie together.
Right now, I’m in the midst of an Alexander Payne marathon. Saw Sideways other night, The Descendants last night. Just finished About Schmidt. Have Election and Downsizing set to go next. Also, did some Marvel recently, SM, CA, Avengers, etc. Do you do them a lot, a little? What was last? |

Don't know if this counts, but I've been watching a lot of Batman movies lately. Almost daily really.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
I don’t think it qualifies as an actual “movie marathon” but around the time Tenet came out on Blu-ray, my wife and I did a mini marathon of Memento, Inception, and Dunkirk after getting into a Christopher Nolan mood.
I can’t recall the last time I had the time or the energy where I legitimately sat through a “straight-through” movie marathon. Maybe when the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy came out on DVD? That was what, 20 years ago? Jesus, time flies! |
Re: Last movie marathon you did?
Last movie marathon we did was Planet of the Apes, all the way from 1968 to 2017, watched from 01-26 to 02-10-2022.

Please don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean watching same day. Just meaning in many days or in the midst of one, but over a span, just some movies in a row whenever.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
I'm right in the middle of one right now. Smack dab in the middle!

The films of Gaspar Noe.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
Doing Haneke's films right now. Usual method is pick a director and see their films in order of production.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
LOTR extended, Thanks to a Facebook poll I made. I should be doing another marathon soon. So many choices.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
Last year I watched all the Showa era Godzilla movies during a two week isolation because my roommate got Covid. I'd never seen them before because I had this prejudice that Godzilla movies would be "stupid", but now I regret having not dived into them earlier. They're wonderful.
The last time I did a single day marathon was watching the Star Wars trilogy. I watched Star Wars in the afternoon, and late that evening I did Empire and Return back to back. I watched the un-enhanced versions that were included as special features on the late 2000s DVD release, which were letterboxed inside a 1:33 image so they only filled half the screen, but with the lights off it was good enough for home viewing. I thought the flawed Jedi played better by watching it right after Empire. |
Re: Last movie marathon you did?
Currently in the middle of the Three Stooges shorts (Bought the complete collection a few months ago and I'm on their 1941-era)
As far as feature-length movies go, War and Peace had to have been the last one(s). Binged them on HBOMAX late last year. |
Re: Last movie marathon you did?
For my upcoming review here of Coming 2 America, I first watched Trading Places (which ties in a bit) and the first Coming to America on HD-DVD.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
Right now I am going through all my Jerry Lewis films again. His sweet spot only last for 5 years, from 1960 to 1964, but in that time he made 8 films that I really enjoyed starting with The Bellboy and ending with The Disorderly Orderly.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
I have a 1-year-old, but I was able to watch Free Guy a few weeks ago without pausing it once.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
I watched all 8 Harry Potter movies in a week this year.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
My son and I watched all of the Kevin Smith movies over the course of a few weeks recently. At the moment, we're going through the Terminator series. We picked up with T2 a couple of nights ago and Genysis is up next.

Re: Last movie marathon you did?
The Smokey and the Bandit trilogy.
All three movies played back-to-back on Showtime yesterday, and, god help me, I watched them. The first one wasn't bad, and kind of amusing in a mid-70s way, but the second one was awful, and the third one was beyond a dumpster fire that not even Jackie Gleason gnawing on scenery could save. I did find it slightly amusing that the three movies were all released in the same years at the Star Wars OT movies (1977, 1980, 1983). And what the fuck is a "Diablo Sandwich?" I think I might need to start a thread in Other... |

Anyway, my last marathon was my annual horror movie festival last October. We watched: Black Sheep Mayhem The Autopsy of Jane Doe Hell Comes to Frogtown What We Do in the Shadows It Follows Stitches Piranha 3DD Grave Encounters The first eight were in one day, followed by the last one over breakfast the next morning. |

Ok, I can kind of get if someone's like 'I'm doing a James Bond marathon' and they actually mean that they're watching all of the Bond movies back-to-back, but spreading them out over multiple days/weeks. But you're basically just saying, 'Lately I've been watching Alexander Payne movies, some MCU stuff, Spider-Man movies and The Godfather trilogy.' That's not four concurrent marathons. It's just a list of random stuff. Anyway, my last marathon was my annual horror movie festival last October.
