The first two Godfathers? That's almost 8 hours, and no one needs to see the third.
Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Because books.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Any ideas for 8-12 hours of movie that might fill that?
Harry Potter? I associate those with LotR and xmas since I spent those holiday breaks with Emmett watching both HP and LotR movies.
Also, there's a big cozy factor with the Harry Potter movies.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda and I are working our way through Miyazaki movies right now and those would also qualify, I think.
We just watched Howl's Moving Castle last week and it was just as splendid and beautiful as always.
Both mythic and cozy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I second the Miyazaki movies. We just watched Porco Rosso last week. This week we're bingeing Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, which is not Ghibli, but is as beautiful, and has a woman protagonist.
The first season of Avatar, maybe?
Being in a callous and strange frame of mind, I would binge Cowboy Bebop over the holidays. Suits my quirk. I seem incapable of investing in live action or anything new, at the moment.

Hey. New board.
The original Star Wars trilogy was always mine. Harry Potter would be excellent.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
To continue with the Miyazaki, I got a new Blu-Ray of Castle in the Sky and it was so gorgeous and transporting. The steampunk fantasy of your dreams.
But watching Avatar would also be a good marathon. It holds up incredibly well.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
That's a lot of Harry Potter, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's a lot of Harry Potter, though.
I think you can break it up into a series of double features, maybe.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I treated myself to the DVD of Captain Marvel ... got a little teary over the beginning, which has what looked like all of Stan Lee's appearances.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I'm thinking I might give Rise of Skywalker a miss. It would be better to have my inevitable messy emotional reaction to knowing Connie's not in the world to watch it in private.
