I just discovered Gabe Toro over at Cinemablend has been writing up a whole series of 24-hour movie marathon ideas. Some sound great (Liam Neeson action marathon!) and some are just plain goofy (an entire movie marathon about bears? Really?).
Here they are, from best to goofiest:
- Liam Neeson Action Movie Marathon – Liam Neeson rocks! Exhibit A: Taken. (Warning! This movie marathon contains The Phantom Menace, which critics have determined is hazardous to your mental health).
- Kevin Costner Movie Marathon – Celebrate Kevin Costner’s 30-year career with a movie marathon of his best work!
- Action Sequel Movie Marathon – An entire movie marathon of sequels that actually were better than their predecessors!
- 2013 Non-Oscar Nominee Movie Marathon – The best of the snubbed – good films from 2013 nominated for zero academy awards.
- Car Chase Movie Marathon – Everyone likes car chases right? So why not 24 hours of car chases? I’m sure they definitely won’t blend together into an incomprehensible blur by the time the marathon is done.
- TV Adaption Sequel Movie Marathon – An entire movie marathon of…. sequels of movies adapted from TV….? Whew, I think this list just jumped the shark.
- Vampire Movie Marathon – Take a tour of vampire cinema history…without the original Dracula? For shame vampire movie marathon list!
- Bears Movie Marathon – Lots of movies about Bears. 24 hours worth of movies about bears. They are fuzzy. They are cute. They are deadly. But are they really movie marathon material?
- Terrible Comedy Movie Marathon – Because who wouldn’t want to sit through 24 hours of comedies that utterly fail to make you laugh? Seriously – is there anything worse than a failed comedy? By definition you don’t even get the “its so bad its funny!” treatment.
