Has anyone done a 6 movie marathon yet?

I was home yesterday with a sick granddaughter, and finally managed a Hobbit movie marathon. Took nearly 12 hours, mostly due to a long lunch break between AUJ and DOS, plus having to pause BOT5A while cooking dinner. I remember several years ago doing an LoTR marathon with the EEs, and that took 12 hrs without the long breaks, LOL! I imagine it would take like a Friday evening & all day Saturday to get all 6 movies watched, but just curious if anyone has done that. If so, how long did it take, did you take food breaks, etc. I need to know so I can pace myself appropriately, get the hubby out of the house, etc. Let's just say he's not as entralled with Middle Earth as I am Can't imagine why he feels that way, LOL!!!

Doing one now would feel like cheating to me.

...I could do a marathon in the near future if I borrow or rent a copy of the theatrical cut of BotFA. So, we'll see.

No not yet. Before the BotfA premiere I did watch AUJ and DoS so I have done a Hobbit marathon sorta, but I think I'll wait till the BotfA EE before I do a six movie marathon because BotfA kinda makes me angry still and it's kinda annoying When it comes to a six movie marathon though I think I will have to do a six days marathon though because so many hours in one day is just... too much for me. As of now anyway.

My friend and I are going to be having one, complete with some Middle-earth recipes such as Lembas and Miruvor! :D We're going to be watching all the theatrical editions, except The Desolation of Smaug (because the extra scenes add enough to not only add to, but also change parts of the story, like with Dol Guldur), and once I get all the extended editions, we'll have a marathon of those too! :D

My parents and sister and I have watched the LotR extended films back-to-back every New Year's Day since RotK came out. We really enjoy that, and after this year, when the last "Hobbit" film came out, we've decided that we're going to try the six-movie marathon over the course of two days --- New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I don't think we'd make it through all six without sleeping, but I can't wait to try all six in two days. :) At least the "Hobbit" films, even extended, aren't quite as long as LotR!

I went to the Hobbit marathon at the theater last December, then watched LOTR EE at home the next day. Maybe after BOTFA EE comes out, I'll do another one at home, or at least a Hobbit EE marathon.

I prefer to see all of the films as they were intended to be, though before BotFA I did watch through the other three extended version and I went to see the Hobbit Marathon at my theater I did marathon through the Hobbit a couple weeks ago, it really made me appreciate BotFA even more. So next big marathon will be when BotFA:EE is released and that will also encompass Lord of the Rings.

I've had an LOTR marathon in the past, but haven't managed a Hobbit marathon. I've tried several times, but something or someone seems to interrupt. Then one thing leads to the next and by the time I get back around to watching the movies, it's too late in the day to continue. Oh well, they're my films and I have all the time in the world to watch them. When I find the time that is.

But I'm planning to watch them all in proper order once finished. Also, I need to decide whether to get the LOTR blurays - probably will.

I love the 2 Hobbit movies most and Battle of 5 is best of all. Frodo ruins the other movies with his constant crying and "oh Sam: such a horrible figure and actor
