Question

What if your friends don't like the movie that you picked?

Community Answer

Before picking a movie, ask your friends if there is a particular genre that they prefer and if they have any recommendations. Go with the genre that most of your friends prefer. Don't worry if you can't please everyone--this is almost always an impossible pursuit.

How do I get people to cuddle with me when having a movie marathon?

If you're watching a movie with family or close friends, just scoot in close to them, grab their arm, and put it around you. If you're not sure if the person would want to cuddle with you or not, just ask!

Question

Is it better to have a movie marathon at night or during the day?

Community Answer

It depends on how long your marathon is. If it's super-long, start it during the day. HOwever, if you only have a few movies, it's okay to start at night.

Question

What can I do to stay up during a movie marathon?

Community Answer

Don't use a lot of blankets or pillows, and don't keep the room too warm. If you're super comfortable and warm, you're more likely to fall asleep. Whenever you feel sleepy, take a quick break to splash cold water on your face and walk around for a minute. Also, drink soda or energy drinks.

Question

When should I start a movie marathon?

Community Answer

If the marathon includes longer movies, start at 9-10 if you are okay with staying until 1-2 am. Try to calculate how many hours and minutes each movie has and add it together. Then calculate how late it will be if you start at a certain time.

If my marathon is about 28 hours long, at what time should I start it?

Community Answer

Start it at 5 a.m., so that your movie marathon will end at 9 am (2 days later). Be sure you take 2 days off in order to stay for your movie marathon and maybe another day for sleep.
