Hey kids...i've been talking about this for a while with object, so i thought it was about time to see what you guys n girls think.
The idea is to have some film marathon nights at our place with the projector...eg..all 6 starwars films back to back...eddie murphy marathon....rocky marathon...shane meadows marathon....etc.
Plenty of beers,food...what you think?
Feel free to offer ideas for the marathons too!
Cheers!
Scott.

great idea. there has to be a bike film marathon; breaking away, american flyers, overcoming, sunday in hell, quicksilver, belleville rendezvous...

Good lad pj...that's the idea...bmx bandits too!

oh yeah - nicole kidman's finest hour...

Some horror marathons too maybe...cos then i won't get scared if there's plenty of people here...:)

sounds good, i'll be up for it if i'm able to get back

Can we have a Ulysses 31 marathon? I have the box set. Failing that, how about a twin peaks (seasons 1 and 2) marathon?

Both of these are serious undertakings and would last in excess of 2 days.

Korean film marathon (Old Boy, Shiri etc)?
Hong Kong film marathon (Raise the Red Lantern, Kung Fu Hustle etc)?
Japanese film marathon (Ran, Zatoichi, The Hidden Blade etc)?
Aussie film marathon (Mad Max, Bad Boy Bubby etc)?
Off beat American fim marathon (Slingblade, Kalifornia Bad Liutenant)?
Sci-Fi film marathon (2001 Space Odyssey, Aliens, Blade Runner etc)?
French film marathon (La Haine, Irreversible, Baise Moi etc)?
World cinema film marathon (City of God, The Cuckoo, Atarnajuat etc)?
........... all definitely my cuppa darjeeling.

Would be really interested to hear more of your plans and other forumenger's suggestions?
So far it sounds like a brilliant idea.

really long film marathon
das boot directors cut, apocalypse now redux , lawrence of arabia etc etc

that's my favorite movie!! the most beautiful cinematography ever.

i am soooo into this idea (once i get to london... less than two weeks!)! projector movie marathons are the best ... i want to do a godfather marathon because i've never seen any of them. or rocky. i feel like i'm missing out on the classics.

does anybody in the uk watch a show called arrested development? it really is the most genius and hilarious sitcom ever, it was cancelled from the fox network and has since developed a cult following over here in the usa. i've got it all on dvd, there's 3 seasons of it, and it's perfect for marathoning. i am really curious as to whether or not anybody watches it over there.

fuck YEAH!
arrested development. woop- my favorite program ever.
ther will be a movie..... just wait.
but atm am in Boston, so does that count?

I've made a HUGE mistake.
And have done the marathon too.
Super Troopers?

all of Friends, in one go? or Sex an the City for the ladies.


err.. the Godfathers would be tough... i tried to do all 3 once, its impossible i tell you!

I think it was Aidan that suggested the whole of '24' in one go...now that would be good....24 hours solid!

You may be in luck Kattt...it'll be at least two weeks before the first one...and it may just be a Rocky marathon...all 6 of em...:)

I fucking love Rocky, especially the gay one where they wear crop tops on the beach - book me in!

Ha...that'll be Rocky 3 then...gwaan clubber lang..:)

should watch the whole of the wire in one go. all five seasons. that's the stuff, right there. aiight. if you in the game, you in the game.

the wire in one go would be epic! I did 1.5 seasons in a weekend once.

sheeeeit

The one i would really love to do would be EVERY bond film back to back...now that would be an epic marathon!

Alien Quadrilogy

Fight Club - it's so cool, just watch it 6 times in a row

Police Academy - classic

I've got seasons one through four. Just need to get hold of season 5.

Film Marathons I have done (have a kickass surround sound system, rude to waste it)

Lord of the rings extended edition
Matrix trilogy plus the Animatrix to start
Star wars we did in 2 shifts

Want to do Die Hard and Alien boxset

We won't be doing Die Hard, I've done that one too many times.

I'd really like to do the Lady Vengance Trilogy or a Takashi Miike day.

excellent idea!

Any anime fans here?
Ghost In The Shell
Studio Ghibli
Urotsokidoji (maybe a bit hardcore)

ooooooh

Friday the 13th (1-12)
Nightmare on Elm Street movies (1-9)

!!

i got season five. not seen it yet, currently halfway through series 4, watched 5 episodes yesterday, dreamt about 'takin' corners' and how it was 'time to step up or step off'.

oh yeah. don't be tryin' this shit at home.

What a good idea scott.

HK Action Session:

The Killer
A better tomorrow II
Hard Boiled

brazilian film session:
Elite Squad
Bus 174
City of god

I'm for it too.
I have a nice collection of titles too add to choice from

Scott, excellent idea. I happen to have all the bond movies.

And if you are fans of anime, I have the full series of Naruto, Bleach etc. But that will be more like a week marathon.

I'd pay to see the Naruto and good anime series'.

I'm all over this like a scorching case of, erm, love.

Anime, Die Hard, Bourne, Aliens, Brazilian, Bond (if we were a little selective)… All killer!

I just did Star Wars so might pass, ditto Beverley Hills Cop (which chafed a little), and my own HK mini-season.

I like your style, you think we should be charging an entry fee :]

Indiana Jones x3
Robocop x3
Alien x4
Coen brothers any
