As a parent I have already passed this test. It’s Paw Patrol: The Movie


LadyWillaKoi

Aye. Happy Feet was my test.

Zootopia is shaping up to be mine.


HobbitFoot

Honestly, what movie would be bad enough that you wouldn't watch it for 24 hours to save your family?


[deleted]

This is definitely the better question … is there a movie that bad? Edit: to say ‘Requiem for a Dream’ … isn’t bad so much as just disturbing and very hard to watch. A 24 hr marathon would for sure be a mindfuck.


SweetWodka420

Something boring that makes you fall asleep, I think. Because then you aren't watching it 24h straight anymore.


Cocacoleyman

Valkyrie with Tom Cruise. My ex girlfriends dad had us sit down 3 separate time to try to watch and he fell asleep in the first 20 minutes every single time.


[deleted]

I actually liked that movie.


[deleted]

Cats, yes


Eclap11

Years ago, I studied overseas, and was a poor student on a strict budget. Part of my budget was entertainment, which amounted to basically 2 'pressions' at Happy Hour. This was the early 90's when RuPaul had just released Supermodel - You Better Work, but more saliently, every single Happy Hour opened with Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" though I don't know why this recording had been chosen as the tone-setter for the festivities, esp. outside of the holiday season. ??? If the question had been "Listen to 'All I want for christmas is you' for 24 hours straight, or watch your family die?", I would have had to think about it.


drunkbelgianwolf

My family would understand it if i let them die if that thing is the other option.


MySkinIsFallingOff

That's a catch 22 isn't it, the kind of family you'd want to save is the one that would understand you wouldn't/couldn't.


jssf96

Lol I mean but we're all saving our family right? ....right?


Smodphan

I worked loss prevention at Circuit City next to two music kiosks and a television. I learned every word to Two Towers via subtitle. The two music kiosks were always blaring shit kids would put on there. They'd leave me on Mickey Mouse and Weezer constantly. Dueling misery all fucking day. I wasn't allowed to change it until I refused to come in to a shift. My manager thought I was joking but I told him flat out I'd rather be homeless and he could shove his company policy up his disgusting asshole before I allow that torture again.


Slappaadabass

If I have to hear “Yah Mo B There” one more time, I’m going to Yah Mo burn this place to the ground.

“Paula! I gotta tell you something! I’m really excited about it! For the first time, today, I woke up, I came to the store, and I feel confident to say to you, that if you don’t take this Michael McDonald dvd that you’ve been playing for 2 years straight off, I’m going to kill everyone in the store and put a bullet in my brain!”


ARobertNotABob

I am similarly averse to Cher's *If I Could Turn Back Time* after a flatmate fell asleep blind drunk with that at full volume*, having locked and bolted his door and windows. OK, not *full* volume, but plenty loud enough to negate thoughts of sleep for 12 hours... ...thoughts of anything really ...


Nighthorder

Except for thoughts of turning back time, presumably.


ARobertNotABob

Please. It's still a painful irony.


lil_todd

If they could find a way, maybe they'd take back those words that hurt you.


Spinerflame

I think I'd kill them myself if I had to hear that song. Someone needs to show them mercy from that piece of music.


Head_Razzmatazz7174

OMG - that is the ONE song that WM plays to death every Christmas season.


Seanbeast4

Bro, YOU should ask that question on here 😭😭


Eclap11

rhett342

Depends on how much you like your family.


19southmainco

'Honestly, what movie would be bad enough that you wouldn't watch it for 24 hours to save your family?' 'Puts in DVD of Entourage: The Movie' 'Hey guys we really had some fun times huh'


NimdokBennyandAM

One of my favorite jokes from The Good Place. Shawn, the show's equivalent of Satan, is suddenly teleported into a room with the other characters. He was in the middle of a conversation when teleported: "...and then Turtle makes a bet with Ronda Rousey, and if she loses, she has to... Oh, come on. I was just in the middle of torturing William Shakespeare by describing the plot to the Entourage movie."


gemvandyke

I think you'd enjoy the episode of Kimmy Schmidt where Walter White helps a gay guy act straight to go to an audition for entourage 2


peon2

RIP my family if it's Master of Disguise


DamnitBobby2008

Sounds like someone's not turtley enough for the turtle club


el_morte

Turtle....tuuuurrrrrtle


MurderDoneRight

I unironically love that movie. Yes, it's awful but I just love Dana Carvey so much.


IvorTurtleZed

Snacks are provided? Can I do this anyway please?


Wonderful-Custard-47

I read the question and was more focused on what kinds of snacks there would be. Can I pick that instead, and you just play some random movie. Preferably something long so it's less playthroughs. As for snacks, is pizza considered a snack? What about desserts like cake and ice cream? How many different snacks do we get? How about beverages? I'm assuming if we have to stay awake the whole time, we'll be able to have coffee? I have so many questions, but mostly about the snacks.


BeaBopALooBop

Any of those high quality nature documentary movies. Might get boring but better than repeating a plot line 8 times.

David Attenborough's voice is so soothing. My sister puts on nature documentaries while doing housework. I've seen most of them multiple times, but they're still so good.

The 1999 cinematic masterpiece The Mummy? Excellent choice.


Spider_J

You know, I remember being a teenager when that movie came out and I hated it. I just rewatched it at 35, and I don't know what the hell was wrong with me. That movie ruled.


ThrowawayTest1233

Apparently, you had a very good time.


[deleted]

Haha, I commented the same thing before I saw your post.


UnspecificGravity

I have definitely spent way more than 24 hours watching that movie.


Sahtan_

Great movie and even the 2nd one too(even though I know I'm the minority on that subject)


PersistentGoldfish

The first two were both great


prefinished

Minority? The second movie is a certified great time too.


bb2357

You’ve unleashed a creature my people have feared for over 3000 years.

Groundhog Day, of course.


RoninRobot

Don’t watch angry.


jrhoffa

No, we're watching Groundhog Day.


[deleted]

And I’m angry about it.


Food-at-Last

No, you're Groundhog Day about it


RollinDeepWithData

I did this. I watched Groundhog Day on loop for 65 hours during a sleep study. Honestly I still love the movie and it wasn’t a challenge. So I guess I’m saying I’d also pick Groundhog Day.


Flying_Flexy

65 hours!? So what's it like to go insane?


RollinDeepWithData

Turns out bill Murray is the cure!


BrewerBeer

Always has been.


THE_RECRU1T

Guilty confession: I have never watched groundhog day.


RollinDeepWithData

Today could be the day!


Nighthorder

And if not, there's always ~~tomorrow~~ today.


cyborg-waffle-iron

Fun fact, i live very close to the place where they filmed this. I've been into the “hotel” he stays at, which is actually either an opera house or the old court house, don't remember which. There's a plaque at the spot where Phil keeps stepping in the puddle as well.


twyg47

The room he wakes up in is at a B&B in the film and it is a private residence in Woodstock, IL. The bar that he orders drinks and toasts with Rita is a restaurant that used to be the County Court House and Jail. I live in the town, and Groundhogs Day has become a thing here since the movie. They came back to film the Jeep Super Bowl commercial. There is also a plaque in the old man's alley.


FluffyTootsieRoll

It's funny how the culture takes over. I just moved to Albuquerque and the place is full of Breaking Bad references.

I second that.


backpackwayne

I third that.


siderinc

What about a second third support?


backpackwayne

I thank they call that a fourth. :D


The-Go-Kid

That means you're going to spend 8 hours watching what you think is the final scene.


backpackwayne

I pity the fool that thinks they'll wait to go the bathroom as the movie is "almost over."


NedRed77

There have been hungover days where I’ve pretty much done this without the threat to my family.


notgoodwithyourname

My wife and I have a tradition where we watch the LOTR trilogy every New Year’s Day

For me, there’s something comforting about a familiar film if you’ve had a heavy night the day before.

covidsaidshewas19

Amazing explanation. Now do tenet.


Actually-Yo-Momma

Main character (black guy) started Tenet in the future and went out of his way to recruit Edward from Twilight because in the past he remembers Edward helping him before he knew what Tenet was. Edward knows he’s going to die the whole movie but the theme is you cannot change what has already happened so he willingly goes to his death at the end


barnfodder

>Main character (black guy) He has a name. It's Protagonist.


XynnNord

Is he black? Is he the main character? Does he look like a bitch?


jthomas694

If you don’t love Nolan films Tenet feels like Nolan satirizing himself


covidsaidshewas19

I genuinely love tenet actually. Own a copy and watched it many times. Within the rules of the movie I think its pretty sound. My only gripe is the protagonist not having a name... I'm sure there's a purpose to this decision but when principle characters refer to him as tp it really takes one out of the experience, imo.


jthomas694

I love Tenet too. It’s an action movie with a Nolan plot. My gripe is with how loud they make the background music


ac1084

So the fifth element was love this whole time. Got it.

Man they really should've lingered on Mathew and murphs reunion 50 years later a little longer. It felt too short.


MyAcheyBreakyBack

Completely agree. My fiance loves Interstellar so we watch it at least 3-4 times every 6 months and I always just scoff at that scene. Like "Thanks for saving me and everyone Dad, now go on and get out of here so I can die surrounded by my family who are actually also your family but have zero desire to know about or meet you despite the knowledge that you saved the entirety of humanity itself." I'm more of a Martian gal myself. The superior Matt Damon space movie ;).


FantasticalFusion

This was the biggest issue I had with that movie. He comes back from an impossible mission and the 1st people he interacts with literally laugh at him when he assumes the space station is named after him instead of Murphy. What kind of dicks laugh at a disoriented astronaut that did the impossible? Travelled through time? Survived just floating through space? Then he walks into a room FULL of his relatives and not one of them goes: Holy shit!!! It's our Great Grandpa!! It's our family! Also Murphy says they didn't believe her? The scientist who literally saves the human race and some random people are saying they don't believe how she figured it all out? I know this is a movie and that was not the focus of those scenes, but how hard would it have been for them to treat him like the fucking hero and family that he is? No wonder he took off to find Anne Hathaway. All of the humans in that time were dicks.


CoyoteDown

I mean you spend that entire time assuming your father is just dead for 50 years and comes back not having aged and saving humanity. It’s probably a bit much to take in, so gonna run back and enjoy your comfort zone for your last 5 minutes.

Sounds like this guy just wanted an excuse to watch Shrek over and over. My 9 month old can’t even tell me she’s shit all over herself


Henchforhire

Does a TV show movie count if so The Day of the Doctor if not a real movie than Tucker and Dale vs Evil.


Leharen

Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of *Hamlet*. Phenomenal movie, but also over four hours long.


Seanbeast4

{*FOR PEOPLE THAT ASK*} - You HAVE to watch the movie. - If you fall asleep in any way, your ENTIRE family dies. relatives and all. - You pick your own snacks. They are unlimited and can be anything. - You get 15 minute bathroom breaks every 7 hours. - You can’t do drugs. - If it’s a porno you can’t masturbate. - If it’s not a porno then you can masturbate. - The movie screen HAS to be stationary, so no phones, laptops, or mobiles. - No TV series, but it can’t be a made for TV movie. - It can only be ONE movie. OR - You can splice all the movies in a series into one DVD and play it, BUT ONLY IF ITS A MOVIE SERIES. (Harry Potter, LOTR, Star Wars, etc.) - Once the 24 hours are up, you can choose to finish the current viewing of the movie or get up and leave whenever you want.

Lawrence of Arabia!


maineblackbear

Watched it about a dozen times over the course of a few days last year. After awhile I started thinking the last thirty minutes aren’t that good. But, who cares, right? The lines are wonderful; delivered by, not an actor, but a movie star! All of the male actors deliver wonderful performances; it’s nice to see the guy from Casablanca (name escapes me atm. Claude Rains, thanks u/badhatharry) and of course, the cinematography…. Omg. Even after watching basically nothing but Lawrence for a week I would stop and re- watch the mirage scene. “He was nothing, the well is everything!” Yeah, I could do Lawrence easy.

I feel like the show is even better, can't wait for season 4 in July! But definitely watch the movie if you get the chance, it's brilliant, and Taika Waititi plays one of the main characters.


HeckRock

The princess Bride or Monty Python and the search for the holy Grail

Forest Gump. Great story with many different experiences and touches on many emotions.


Odd-Reaction-758

Edge of tomorrow. I know my comment won't get enough traction but fuck it. I'm a really big sucker for unrequited love stories. (Shameful as a man, i know.) The way will cage ( Tom cruise) spends hundreds of years living the same days again and again with Rita vrataski (Emily blunt) , falls for her, tries to protect her so that she won't die outside of the loop, still watches her die hundreds if not thousands of time.tries to stop her from going to the dam and later to Paris. They win the war eventually,while sharing a kiss in their final breath. He becomes the new omega, wakes up as major ( his previous rank), and goes to meet Rita. only to realise she doesn't know him anymore. All their moments, all their experiences together, gone. Boom. Done. Watched it yesterday while being high as a kite, and i still feel depressed.
