Movie Marathon Troika

June 30, 2008

I like the idea of a three film marathon or screening with the films tied together by a single theme, and I’ve been trying to link films I’ve recently seen together to qualify for such a showcase. I don’t know how plausible it is to watch three films back to back, so I suppose if you were to spread it out over a few days that would be acceptable. So far I’ve only got a few (I’m trying ot avoid obvious things like common actor or director) and I seem to be stuck on locations.

San Francisco

  1. The Conversation
  2. Play it Again, Sam
  3. Vertigo

Los Angeles

  1. Pulp Fiction
  2. Boogie Nights
  3. The Big Lebowski

Midwest

  1. Badlands
  2. Two-Lane Blacktop
  3. God’s Country

…and here are a few that I’m still working on:

Neo-Western with Ambiguous Ending

  1. No Country For Old Men
  2. The Proposition

Indie European Romance

  1. 2 Days in Paris
  2. Once
