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.
