As part of my 2009 Quest, I've been trying to chalk up as many films as possible to reach my goal. My current method is to watch as many new films as possible in a single day since the majority of my week is consumed by work. :-(I've been trying to break my record of 7 since Feb but don't have the time or energy to accomplish such a feat: Transporter 2 2/10 Nacho Libre 2/10 Casanova 3/10 Flushed Away 4/10 World Trade Center 4/10 The General's Daughter 5/10 Beneath the Planet of the Apes 4/10 The Weekend just gone I was able to watch 6 on Saturday, 5 on Sunday and 5 on Monday. Baring in mind, all these films were ones that I have never seen before so I didn't know what to expect. So I put it to you, how many films that you haven't seen before have you watched in a single day? Aswell how many films (seen/ unseen) have you watched from beginning to end in a day? The film has to be at least 1 hour and 20 minutes. Obviously there is a limit to how many feature length films you can watch in a 24hr period. So don't bother lying. |

While a waste of a day since none of the films were higher than 5 Stars, I just wanted to see how many I could do in one sitting.I literally had my George Foreman set up next to me. Bacon Sarnies galore! |

When I had a bit of the flu I think I watched almost the entire Firefly series in one sitting.With movies I typically only watch them one or maybe two at a time. But I have had a few days where I watched three. |

(I sat through all three seasons of Weeds in one weekend)...Otherwise, I can't watch more than three movies a day. I'm too restless to do more than that. |

I'm too aggravated by a bad movie (i shut off Transporter 2 after 15 minutes, and Nacho Libre after 10) and once I finish watching a great movie, I have no desire to keep watching another one right away. So for me, I think 3 is about the limit I could ever achieved. |

I could never do that now but I would put on the Mask or Aliens or Hook and watched it about 6 times a day. I prefer a variety these days! |

Posted : 3 months ago at May 23 1:48 - I usually watch a movie several times. Opinions change over time. So I usually watch a movie again frequently.I've seen the film Bowfinger at least 50 times. It's probably the film I've seen the most. |

Today, it has just been three. I also like to sit through entire show seasons in the space of a day - or, during the time between times I am in bed! |

I prefer to do tv shows or mini series and those sessions can last a very long fracking time. This week I spent 16+ hrs watching this single show in one sitting (and not even the whole thing just one season since that alone was 39 episodes) . Sure we took a three or four hour break to sleep but eh... It wasn't that good of a show in all honesty. |

Posted : 1 month, 1 week ago at Jul 20 14:47 - I think I only watch two or three dvds in a day... as for regular movies, I've only seen two cinematic releases in one day....can't even remember what they were so they must've both sucked. I wish I could watch more than one a day at the cinema sometimes. |
