  1. Popcorn cannot be ignored. Be sure to buy 1 or 2 boxes before the marathon begins. If any of your friends have a sweet tooth, get some candy like M&Ms. Common drinks to have at a marathon are of course soda and juice. Try to stock up on them before the marathon. Alcohol may add an element of fun to the marathon if you are all over the legal drinking age, and the movies are on the light-hearted side.[3]

Tips from our Readers

  • Play along with the movie's theme to have more fun! Dress up like the characters, or have themed food that matches the movies you're watching.
  • Keep all of the snacks and food within arm's reach so people don't have to get up or go into a different room during the movies.
  • If you have lots of people and people have different preferences, try setting up different genres of movies in different rooms.
  • If you don't have blackout curtains, use dark colored blankets in front of any bright windows instead.
