5 Movie Mini-Marathon

Suggest 5 films for a mini-marathon.

Not a film and it's four sequels - but 5 films that share themes and relate to each other, which could be viewed together and complement each other.

So far;

A Squad of Monsters
The Living Dead
Crichton's crazy theme parks
"Twas beauty killed the beast"
Post 9/11
Reality TV
Found Footage
Early Space Travel
Creepy Kids
Road To Avengers
Noir in Plaid

  • Swap The Hurt Locker for 25th Hour and we can talk.

  • Running zombies and slow zombies in the SAME top 5?! surely you jest. Romero deserves his own top 5, and Sauvini can join in for making an effort.

  • I like the idea of this list, but your initial post says not films and their sequels, yet there are a few in those lists that are direct (if not indirect) sequels and/or remakes...?

    I think you could have found footage style films:
    Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity, Troll Hunter, REC and Apollo 18 (off the top of my head)

  • @OwenHughes Yeah, I was trying to get across avoiding having Rocky I-V for example, but then broke my own rules(!).
    You guys seem to have the gist of it though.

  • Early space age: The Right Stuff, For All Mankind, In the Shadow of the Moon, The Sound Barrier, Capricorn One.
