have a movie marathon

Last night, with my boyfriend, watched:

• Jumanji (his DVD)
• Mrs Doubtfire (my DVD)
• Batman Forever (his DVD)

I was getting really tired, I think we started watching them a bit late… but I managed to stay awake to watch them all (drinking some glasses of water helped). That’s 3 movies in a row.

Also today we watched (both his DVDs):

• Batman
• Batman Returns

We were both tired and didn’t want to watch any more than that in a row again though, and then he went home too.

All the movies were good. Mrs Doubtfire I’ve seen quite a lot of times (it’s one of my favourites!), but I hadn’t seen the others. I wouldn’t want to sit through lots in a row all the time, but it was worth doing… despite being tired.

2 movies in a row before, (and I’ve watched several episodes of a TV show in a row), but maybe it’d need to be at least 3 to be a movie marathon…

I do this every Halloween with my own personal Halloween and other horror movies marathon. Halloween rocks! Both the movie, and the holiday.

I have been collecting movies over the years copying them to my computer and i think in the holidays i will curl up on my sofa with my PC attached to the plazma and put all of them on (not a once:) ) My theme will be comedy so i will have to collect some more funny movies

Jackass 2
Amercain Pie (any got them all expect Beta House)
Maybe some Mock the Week or Live at the Apollo
Some Monty Python
And that is pretty much it but how many friends???

I’ve done this so many times.. Just curled up on the couch with a buddy and went through a ton of movies (and food!)

Ok it was over-night, but was worth doing :)
Would have made more sense to do it for Charity

I would not be able to wrangle in enough friends all at once for this to be fun.
When UNI is less hectic for everyone, I’ll think about doing it.

We did our movie marathon yesterday, and it went over very well. Most people liked Yojimbo the best, one of us preferred A Fistful of Dollars, and even though we all liked Last Man Standing it was definitely the weaker of the three. But it almost didn’t happen, because my friend who was supposed to bring his copy of Yojimbo cancelled on me an hour before everyone showed up. Luckily the local movie store had a copy left on the shelf, so I ran over as quickly as I could and picked it up. Also, while I was making spaghetti two more people cancelled, so we had WAY too much spaghetti. But then again, you can’t really ever have too much spaghetti, can you?

So despite a few hiccups, it was a big success. Everyone enjoyed it and a couple of people suggested we should do it again some time. I just have to think of another good theme, though.

Having it on Friday, July 4, which is not technically a holiday for me because I’m Canadian. But having a movie marathon is kind of like a party, right?

• Yojimbo
• A Fistful of Dollars
• Last Man Standing

Can you figure out the connection?

A great way to relax and chill out. Watching all the fav movies
