I remember Minio posted Apichatpong Weerasethakuls top ten and he had Andy Warhols Empire on it. Yeah, he doesn't enjoy that at all, he is definitely a liar.

*shrug* It's not like The Godfather needed the votes that badly. I'd definitely take it over 1900 any day of the week, and 1900 actually has stuff happening in it.

I couldn't comment on other people lying about their favourites - the idea that the director of Uncle Boonmee actually does cite Empire as a favourite really does not surprise me regardless of whether or not it's justified.

I'm fine with it making the list, it gives me extra incentive to watch it i just find it surprising. i don't think anyone is lying about it necessarily either i probably shouldn't have included that in the same comment, i'm just still amazed that anyone claims to get anything out of something like Empire which the thought reminded me of so i mentioned it.

It's so weird about Titanic.[..the movie is like three hours long but it is so entertaining that I never really feel the length.

The original Star Wars trilogy in 70mm back-to-back on a giant screen. I don't know if that counts, but it was exhausting.

Three of us once marathoned the LOTR trilogy (extended editions) in one day. Started at 11 am and ended around midnight with breaks for food. I cannot confirm that we all remained awake for the duration.

Wasn�t Berlin Alexanderplatz a mini series? Or were they screened together at some point before being split up into mini episodes?

Satantango but I cheated a few times by playing it at 1.5x
