I'm feeling inspired after today's Sci Fi marathon (The Fifth Element, Gattaca, Sunshine, Moon).

If you had the time and inclination, what movies would you choose to watch, marathon style?
I'd say generally that means between 3 and 5 movies, relating to each other in some way.
It could be something obvious, like all 3 Nolan Batman films. Or less obvious, like 3 or 4 movies featuring the same actor. Or from the same genre.

Ready, Set, Go!

Try a Howard Hawks marathon---he worked in a lot of different genres,should keep monotony at bay.

Given how long most of those movies are, that WOULD be a marathon.

I like watching series all at once.

The Bourne trilogy is one the best to watch; each film isn't too long and the stories interconnect very well.
