10 Painfully Long Movie Marathons You Have To Do At Least Once
2. Marvel Cinematic Universe - 1655 Minutes
The Films: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvels The Avengers, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant Man, Captain America: Civil War
Just How Long? 27.6 Hours
Why You Have To Try It: What makes sitting down and watching the MCU straight through such an enticing prospect is the variety. Yes, it's over a day of superhero action, but youre never going to be stuck with more than a couple of hours of similar content; there's the realistic (well, ish after the third film) Iron Man, Shakespearean Thor, period Captain America, and light but epic Avengers. Then there's Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a bit of everything.
Sure, theres a sharp quality drop early on with The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2, but after they're out of the way, it's nothing but pure blockbuster entertainment. The one thing worth bearing in mind is that with films being added to series at a rate of two a year, the marathon you do is guaranteed to be out of date in six months, and it shows few signs of stopping any time soon.
