Movie Marathon Times

[impala454]

So I'm one that likes to run marathons (no not on foot :P). I thought it'd be cool to have a ready made list of various good ideas for movie marathons and have the time required to watch one listed all in one place.

Great thread! I myself like to occasionally do the Star Wars marathon, LOTR, and the Matrix. (which I see we don't have listed yet) A Bond marathon is fun too, but IMHO must be broken up over a week or more, just based on the number of movies.

I don't have times.

[impala454]

Oh nice additions Paul! I'll add everything I get to the first post. Matrix is a good idea... I don't think I've ever even seen them all (always end up falling asleep in the middle of the second one).

[technodanvan]

Matrix would definitely be good...you could break up the Bond marathon by actor, or maybe by the decade? Some other suggestions below, if I can dig up some time later I'll look up the times.

Harry Potter
Quentin Tarantino movies
Resident Evil maybe?

For some reason I feel Platoon, Apocalypse Now, and Full Metal Jacket should be one by themselves...though maybe that would be too depressing to get through.

[impala454]

Oh man yeah Harry Potter would be insane

[aud19]

What about the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness series?

Or how about a Pixar marathon?

Spaghetti Westerns?

Batman (new and old series)?

Cohen brother Marathon?

Hitchcock?

[P-Dub]

I would suggest the criteria be limited to a movie series of 3 or more with the same character.

Evil Dead/Army of Darkness, isn't it just the 2 movies?

Spaghetti Westerns? I can only think of the couple with Clint Eastwood, who's titles elude me at the moment. Fist Full of Dollars and a Few Dollars More.

Batman, that would count, the Keaton/Kilmer/Clooney and then the Bale versions.

Cohen brother? Not sure about them, any consistent characters? But why not.

Hitchcock, more of a director than character throughout, but would be a nice marathon as well.

Then a Kevin Smith
Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Clerks II, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The Jay and Silent Bob character showing up in all those movies.

Jurrasic Park!

Xmen, Xmen 2, Xmen Last stand. Would Wolverine count as a prequel and what do we do about Xmen First Class?

SpiderMan, Spiderman2, Spiderman3.

Out of ideas at the moment, but I think this is a fun thread. I'll be referring to this in the future.

[impala454]

Ooh lots more good ones... I added Harry Potter and The Godfather, as well as Paul's first post to the main post.

Xmen, hmm that's going to be tough. First Class definitely fits in as a prequel IMHO, there's even scenes from Xmen in First Class. I'm also guessing First Class 2 will follow in and maybe lead into the first Xmen. I guess if we were to do Xmen it would order like this:
First Class
Wolverine
Xmen
Xmen 2
Xmen 3

Spiderman, duh!

Batman, hmm yeah I'd definitely split out the Bale versions (I never really cared for any of the others).

Pixar would be fun, though that's a ton of movies now

Some of the others, I haven't seen.

[aud19]

Evil Dead/Army of Darkness, isn't it just the 2 movies

Nope, Evil Dead 1 and 2 plus Army of Darkness makes three

[Ovation]

Spaghetti westerns: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly--a trilogy and thus a marathon is born.

[impala454]

Just keeping track of other suggestions I got, Aliens & Band of Brothers. I'll figure out the times when I get a few mins

[Ovation]

If TV series are involved (mini-series), then I would add Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and John Adams to the list (just two that I've recently viewed, I'm sure I can name others if I think on it).

[aud19]

Dune mini-series!!

[impala454]

Oh that reminded me of Firefly too. Some of these suggestions sound great but I'm not familiar with them so if you have one you're excited about you figure out the times and I'll add to the first post.

[aud19]

Dune Series 527mins *664mins

Dune (2000)292 min

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/

A three-part miniseries on politics, betrayal, lust, greed and the coming of a Messiah. Based on Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel.

Children of Dune (2003)235 min

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0287839/

The twins of Paul "Muad'dib" Atreides become embroiled in the political landscape of Arrakis ("Dune") and the rest of the universe.

*Optional inclusion of :

Dune (1984)137 min

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/

In the distant future, a man appears who may be the prophet that a long-suffering galaxy has been waiting for.

[M.Roberts8]

You guys have them pretty well covered. Other than Jaws , Friday the 13th , Nightmare on Elm street etc. Of course those are a bit all over the place.

I've done the LOTR Ext. Editions at least twice in same day.
Star wars All 6 in "episode" order once on dvd will have to redo now that I have them on blu-ray.

The Harry Potters I did in a week one every night until DH Pt. 2 came out. That would be the EPIC to do in a single day! 19 hours and 40 minutes without bathroom breaks and food, once you factor that in your looking at 20+ hours probably closer to 22 hours.

[Chris D]

What about the Police Academy series?

[impala454]

Oh good Lord that would take like a week lol.

Added Dune Jason

Haha Roberts good point that the food/bathroom breaks definitely add some time.
