While it’s true that bad weather takes its time arriving, autumn remains a season that invites you to stay indoors and take a break from your routine, especially on gloomy, rainy days. And one of the most relaxing activities you can do alone, with your family, or with friends is a movie marathon.
Adventure films, comedies, horrors… The genres are many, so you just need to decide what kind of films to include in your movie marathon, put on some comfortable clothes, and stock up on your favorite snacks to hit play.
The Lord of the Rings
Peter Jackson’s trilogy is a top choice for movie marathons. These three Lord of the Rings films, along with the subsequent Hobbit movies, are packed with adventures and have become classics in the fantasy film genre. What’s better than joining Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring in their quest to destroy the One Ring on a family or friends’ afternoon?
Harry Potter
If you feel like your life could use a touch of magic or want to ignite the excitement of Hogwarts in the young ones, a Harry Potter marathon is the way to go. Harry’s journey through the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is captured in eight films that make for a magical marathon full of creatures, spells, and friendship.
The Avengers
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is vast and teeming with superheroes. Even if everyone doesn’t share the same preferences, The Avengers are always a safe bet for a movie marathon. Just get comfy and let yourself be captivated by the Infinity Saga.
Star Wars
Star Wars is a timeless classic in the science fiction and movie marathon world. Choose your favourite trilogy or go all out and have a marathon with all three—it all depends on how much you want to immerse yourself in this universe created by George Lucas. It’s a great option for reliving old times with your best friends or embarking on a journey with your family to a galaxy far, far away.
Alien
Science fiction, but with a much darker and unsettling tone, is what an Alien movie marathon has in store for you. The first one marked a turning point in horror cinema, and its sequels are equally intense. This quadrilogy offers terror, adrenaline, and action in equal measure for alien enthusiasts who don’t come in peace.
Back to the Future
You don’t need self-tying sneakers like Marty McFly’s; just put on your favourite house slippers and turn on the TV. The Back to the Future trilogy has it all for a great marathon: comedy, action, adventure, music, time travel… Who can resist something like that?
Mission: Impossible
If you’re a fan of action films, there’s a perfect saga for a great movie marathon—Mission: Impossible. The series, starring Tom Cruise as the spy Ethan Hunt, has already become a classic and offers a thrilling day of action accompanied by a bowl of popcorn.
John Wick
Another action hero worth exploring is John Wick. What’s better than a marathon featuring this unique antihero? His distinctive style and aesthetics delight action enthusiasts, comic fans, and Keanu Reeves followers. This unstoppable saga keeps adding more films, so your marathon might get even longer in the future.
The Hangover in Las Vegas or in Thailand
There’s no better way to enjoy a good laugh and some craziness with your friends than with The Hangover saga. This trilogy, starring actors like Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis, is the wackiest choice you can make, but we’re sure you won’t regret the laughter.
Bridget Jones
If you love romantic comedies, you can’t miss the opportunity to have a movie marathon with the Bridget Jones trilogy. Following Bridget’s misadventures and absurd situations in her on-and-off relationship with Mr. Darcy guarantees a good laugh and a healthy dose of romance, which is always appreciated.
Twilight
In autumn, there’s an increasingly unavoidable date for most people—Halloween. And what’s better than going for vampires in a movie marathon? The Twilight saga, consisting of four films, narrates the love story between an ordinary girl and a vampire who’s nothing like the ones we’re used to. Are you in?
Halloween
If you want to have a hair-raising movie marathon to celebrate Halloween, there’s no doubt that the Halloween saga is your best choice. Endless scares, a relentless killer, and different generations making the same mistakes while fleeing from this serial murderer. An essential pick for horror enthusiasts.
