    I'm on my 3rd movie today and loving it, does anyone else here watch more than 1 in a sitting?

    All the time. I used to do it a lot on hangover days.
    I never saw any Harry Potter movies until last year when I sat down with my girlfriend and watched them all.
    Great for a lazy day.

    watched a bittersweet life earlier and just finished a bishops wife
    id like to watch another but housemates will be back from the club before it's over and i'd rather be in bed by the time the drunken loudness starts

    I've only done it twice before for a Star Wars marathon and a Lord of the Rings marathon. I doubt I'd have the time currently to do it, barely have time to watch one film.

    It can be great fun for a once off if you get a couple of people who also enjoy the films.

    It really depends, sometimes I get in the mood to do a few films. Oddly enough I did my most ever (4) a few weeks ago, saw 3 films at horrorthon, then found myself watching Terminator 2 when I got home! I think it was also fuelled by spite that I shouldn't as I already bought tix for another 3 for the Saturday films!

    When I was first getting into movies I'd sometimes watch 6 (new films) in a day. I could still do three in a day easy enough nowadays but anymore than that actually becomes difficult. I'm only counting first time watches btw.

    My record is five in a row in a film festival in Athens many years back.

    Glad to see that I am not alone on this.

    I'd easily watch a couple of movies in one sitting, particularly documentaries, and especially now that I have Netflix!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    I certainly can watch 3 a day. Downloading and the the arrival of Netflix make this very handy. Trouble is they start to blend into each other after the second bottle of wine. Am I the only one who thinks Darth Vader was in Gladiator ?

    3 wouldn't be a big stretch, have watched 4 and 5 with people before, no biggie.

    good pastime

    3 in a day easily, often done that on a lazy/hungover sunday or a sick day.

    I can only manage 1 movie every few days.

    Having a Die Hard night this Friday. Girlfriend is heading out so the brother is coming up with a box of carlsberg and a load of barbecue ribs, this is how Christmas is supposed to start :)

    Rarely more than one in a day. Find myself nodding off from sitting down too long if I go for a second. On the odd occasion I manage to watch two.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,213 ✭✭✭PrettyBoy


    Often watched 2-3 a day when I was younger but rarely do it these days. If I'm on my own at home I might watch a film if it's on TV but tbh I usually end up on my laptop looking at Facebook, YouTube, message boards, etc. or college work if needs be.

    I need to cap how much time I spend online, I feel like my attention span has been reduced dramatically over the last couple of years. I rarely watch more than 1 movie a week now :(

    Occasionally will watch two in a row, generally when I stay up late and they're engaging enough. Wouldn't be a regular occurrence however.
