About half the movies we watch are part of some sort of themed marathon (but they’re not really marathons, because they’re Very Slow). The idea is to have either a 26-movie full marathon or a 13-movie half marathon, watched over the course of a month or three.
past marathons:
- Bad Horror Movies (wrap-up)
- The IMDb’s Top 63 (wrap-up, in 20 installments)
- Lynn’s Druthers (wrap-up)
- 2010 Leftovers
present marathons:
- Audrey Hepburn
- Ebert’s Great Movies, part I
future marathons:
- 1970s Science Fiction
- Sidney Lumet
- I’ll use the comments on this page to list ideas for future Very Slow Marathons. If you’ve got any ideas for us, please do the same.
