Thread 213411670

Could you recommend a movie marathon (other than horror) that isn't director-based? The films should have a logical grouping, but they don't necessarily have to be from the same franchise. I've already seen: MCU, DCU, Tolkien-based films, all the Godzilla films (Japanese and American), Harry Potter, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Open to any genre, year, and country.

Heist movies.

Mafia movies

>>213411670 (OP)
70s-80s Shaw Brothers produced Kung Fu movies

Noir

>>213411722
I second this, it's a genre with a fuckton of movies going back to black and white stuff.

>>213411670 (OP)
DECKER (Tim Heidecker)

Period piece romance
Shakespeare adaptations (starting with Clueless)

>>213411670 (OP)

Solid picks, one completely unknown to me, and the Shakespeare one sounds comfy.

Here is one, I call it "Lets Get Virtual"

Johnny Mnemonic
Lawn Mower Man
Virtuosity
The 13th Floor
eXistenZ
Bonus movie: Virtual Girl (1998)

>>213411753
Can be a good choice, but it need to be more focused. Think 80's japanese mafia movies.

>>213411670 (OP)
I don't know what your definition of "marathon" is, but if you are actually looking for good films and not just placeholders to fill time I would recommend these:
>Take Shelter
>Bug
This is the Michael Shannon mental illness double feature. Both films are excellent.
>Frailty
>Killer Joe
This is the McConaughey thriller double feature. Both films are excellent.
Killer Joe and Bug are both late-career William Friedkin when he really loved getting freaky with things.

If you are just looking to fill time, a Jason Statham or Liam Neeson action deep dive will both clock in at like 48 hours each. The movies are very hit-and-miss though.

>>213411670 (OP)
Scheiderverse

The French Connection
The Seven Ups
Jaws
Sorcerer
All That Jazz

>>213412669
Good one, thanks

>>213412717
Good films are very welcome, thanks for the recs. But 2 movies barely count as a marathon (in the non genz way)

how about all Philip k Dick?

A Scanner Darkly
Imposter (2001)
Next
Screamers

left out the obvious, well known ones

007, Bourne, Lethal Weapon, Mad Max (Interceptor - Furiosa). May consider some series that feel like long movies like Chernobyl and The Knick

>Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy, they are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them.

I had a cool idea where I would create a marathon where the sequence of films would be linked by a common actor.
Like:
Dark City
The Lost Boys
The Goonies
Lord of The Rings
Sin City
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Ninth Gate
Small Soldiers
Jingle All The Way
Shazam: starring Sinbad

There's a glut of Jules Verne adaptations that came about after 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in '54. That, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Mysterious Island, In Search of the Castaways, and Around the World in 80 Days.

>>213413290
My kids loved watching the movies, maybe they didnt like every movie, but the marathon itself was great. At the end of the jap run we watched the american films and holy molly they are so weak in a rerun. So noisy and lackluster, didnt catch that the first time I saw them.

>>213413318
Cool, maybe maybe

>>213414031
I have seen every Toho goji movie more than once. I have never felt the urge to re-watch a US goji movie. They are all garbage.

This is my ranking based on "re-watchability."

>>213413390
Very lousy, maybe add a logical order: next movie must have as protagonist the villain of the previous one or something like that.

>>213413625
Thats a good one, but the quality is going to be all over the place.

>>213414031
KotM is so fucking over blown and hard to see, and 2014 godzilla is pretty sleepy

But GvK is ABSOLUTE KINO, no notes.

>>213414096
Hedora was my fav in a weird way. Hate every iteration of the Mothra little girls.

>>213413390
>>213414108
Maybe watch a movie where someone is murdered, then up next you have to watch a murder where that victim commits a murder, or the murderer from the previous film is themself murdered. It can be like your own noir film investigating a string of what seem to be revenge killings but are actually completely unrelated coincidences.

You could even wear a raincoat.

>>213412669
A 'Future Past' marathon is a great idea. Sci Fi movies that were set in the in future when released but we are now ahead of. Strange Days, Back to the Future 2, Escape from New York etc. I'm sure a couple you mentioned also qualify.

>>213414170
Hedorah is great for the first two acts but drops the ball in the third act. For my money it's vs. Gigan. Scooby and the gang go to the military and they're like "hey man cockroach aliens and stuff." So the military gives them some explosives and sends them on their way.

>>213414262
that was my first idea but i couldnt think of too many, so i went with VR, which was also all the rage in the 90s.

Hater alert! anyone that doesnt immediately put Godzilla vs the Sea monster (Ebirah), son of Godzilla and Destroy all Monsters (the clip show) at the very bottom and even above recent movies is a Hater.

Godzilla has something for everyone and everyone has their favorites. That's why it's the king of franchises.

>>213414358

i think my favorite line in a Godzilla movie ever is from Godzilla VS Space Godzilla. NASA comes over to Japan to show them some recent international Space Station footage. We see astronauts gets fucked up but something and the ship explodes, footage cuts out. The two while men in military outfits say to the japanese, in the most serious tone

>We have analyzed the footage and concluded it must have been some kind of...Giant Monster.

Got of big laugh out of 13 year old me.

>>213415378
There's too many good lines.

awhile ago I came up with a hypothetical continuity of films about the future - starting from the near future to the distant future - involving themes of androids, cloning, AI, dystopia, etc. If you watch it in chronological order, it sort of makes sense.

>Limitless
>Antiviral
>Her
>Upgrade
>Ex Machina
>Westworld
>Companion
>Subservience
>Wifelike
>I, Robot
>Blade Runner
>Blade Runner 2049
>Ghost in the Shell
>The Matrix

Also, the WWII cinematic universe based on multiple different perspectives. Sorry, these aren't in chronological order but still all worth the watch.
>Schindler's List (concentration camp pov)
>Das Boot (german u-boat pov)
>Lore (germans on the run pov)
>The Pianist (jew pov)
>Days of Glory (french army pov)
>El Alamein - Line of Fire (italian army pov)
>Army of Shadows (French resistance pov)
>Downfall (Hitler pov)
>A Woman in Berlin (german whore pov)
>Dunkirk (British pov)
>Come and See (Soviet pov)
>T-34 (soviet tank pov)
>Battle for Sevastopol (female soviet sniper pov)
>Enemy at the Gates (Soviet sniper pov)
>Kalashnikov (ak-47 /k/ino)
>Panfilov's 28 Men (soviets vs german tanks)
>The Dawns Here are Quiet (female Soviet pov)
>Letters from Iwo Jima (Japanese pov)
>Empire of the Sun (Japanese POW camp pov)
>Saving Private Ryan (Allied infantry pov on D-Day)
>Hacksaw Ridge (US Army medic pov)
>Fury (Allied tank pov)
>Overlord (nazi zombies)
