I rated both 9/10!

I thought there was only 26 letters + 1 number I this marathon, so 27 films to watch? Did I miss something?

Oh and, it's 3 down for me too! Just finished watching American Psycho.

My review? 

I'm totally confused.. I must've missed something somewhere, don't know..

So what are the rules on

- shorts: do they count at all, what is the minimum length for a film to be eligible
- TV Series: do episodes count, a disc, or season only


Not sure what Touti is doing either, but I'll stick with the 26 letter alphabet and one numbered item.

- TV Series: do episodes count, a disc, or season only     I THINK IT SHOULD BE A SERIES, BUT I CAN'T HANDLE ANOTHER RULE DEBATE HERE SO WHATEVER EVERYONE ELSE FEELS

NOTE - slightly doctored Ya_shin's post - sorry m8 

Surely if you watch several episodes of something that should be substantial enough for an entry?

Agree. Many movies are only 90 minutes or so. 4 episodes of a TV sit-com will equal that.

I was so caught up in catching up that I counted the number of days in October instead of the number of movies to watch

Good to know. I usually wear shorts when watching DVDs

Didn't mean to be apply too much of a rules system. But I also didn't want to be a wuss by watching a bunch of Loony Tunes cartoons and call it a day.

I'll be going for features of about an hour or more (so I can trow in an episode of masters of Horror, or two, and TV Series will count for a watched disc (usually worth 2-4 hours of watching).

I like this idea of "being forced" to watch DVDs. Thanks for this

I liked it too. Forces me to actually watch my unwatched pile. And they ARE piling up!! 

One question though: Is there a rule for these marathons for which title counts? I.e original title or DVD title. Or can we use these as a joker?

Three points awarded for the witty sarcasm.

I just love this marathon idea.  Without it I would have spent my sunday surfing the internet or work on stuff for my 4x4 club but instead I'm just getting ready to watch 5 movies in a row.

This marathon is a great idea.

I agree. I also take it as in incentive to finally make my unwatched stack smaller or watch movies I haven't watched for awhile (if I have got no unwatched for that specific letter).
