Movie Marathon Ideas for Girls for Every Mood.

Have you ever had a movie night that started off strong but lost its spark? No problem! Check out these 17 fantastic movie marathon ideas for girls to keep the fun going.

You can watch these films alone on a weekend or invite all your girlfriends. Either way, you will have fun.

Movie marathon tips.

1# First, you must decide how many films you watch. It won’t be a marathon if you don’t catch even two. Watching 4-5 films would be nice, but more is possible. For an actual marathon, try watching movies for 26 hours, similar to a marathon running distance in miles.

2# If you see tapes with girlfriends- add a theme to your movie marathon. For example, specific dishes, an easy dress code, or cocktails in the spirit of the time described in the film. 

3# But remember – you will feel sleepy if too many pillows and blankets are around.

Good movie marathons.

How about we forget about superheroes, The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter for a moment and think of something else that’s intriguing?

The Chronicles of Narnia ( 3 movies, 7 hours) 

Love, courage, betrayal, lies—everything that occurs in our lives is presented by the author in a beautiful and unforgettable fairy tale. It will be interesting to watch for absolutely everyone—from the smallest and most carefree to adults and business people.

Another great reason to rewatch this trilogy is that the new Chronicles of Narnia is coming on Netflix soon.

• The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, 2005  
• Prince Caspian, 2008 
• The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, 2010

Audrey Hepburn movies ( 6 movies, over 12 hours)

Audrey Hepburn has become the de facto symbol of elegance and grace. With her appearance on the screens, lush blondes like Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe were replaced by another beauty: immaculate, natural, sophisticated.

Audrey Hepburn was an Oscar-winning actress who appeared in relatively few films, but many remain classics. Let’s dive into a beautiful Hollywood classic!

• Roman Holiday, 1953 
• Breakfast at Tiffany’s, 1961 
• Love in the Afternoon, 1957 
• Funny Face, 1957 
• The Nun’s Story, 1959 
• How to Steal a Million, 1966 

“Before” trilogy ( 3 movies, 5 hours)

These movies speak of a love that has survived for almost three decades! It may seem impossible or, on the contrary, ordinary, but this story cannot fail to hook us. People worldwide watch and review the “trilogy,” recognizing themselves and their problems in the characters, finding solace in it, and remembering their “very first date.”

Director Richard Linklater paints sensitive and honest portraits of people in their twenties, thirties, and forties who believe in love. The film answers the question of what love really is.

• Before Sunrise, 1995 
• Before Sunset, 2004 
• Before Midnight, 2013  

Pirates of the Caribbean story ( 5 movies, 12 hours) 

It is an excellent, colorful fairy tale.

Fearless and free, following the call of the heart and the sea, pirates have been terrifying civilians on the sea coasts for many centuries. They declared themselves masters of the seas and established their laws there. They also created many fascinating myths and legends about one of the most romantic bandits ever. So, when you see a ship with black sails on the horizon, you should sharpen your swords and load your pistols – adventures will not take long to arrive. By the way, at one time, Pirates of the Caribbean was the first film I had watched twice at the cinema.

• Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, 2003 
• Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, 2006 
• Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, 2007 
• Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, 2011 
• Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, 2017 

The Twilight Saga ( 5 movies, 10 hours)

This fandom blend of supernatural romance and action is sure to captivate with its picturesque landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. Just make sure to have plenty of chocolate and napkins on hand—for emotional and potentially melodramatic moments! For me, watching Twilight is a great opportunity to remember my youth.

• Twilight, 2008  
• The Twilight Saga: New Moon, 2009 
• The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, 2010  
• The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, 2011 
• The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, 2012 

Julia Roberts movies ( 8 movies, 16 hours)

Julia Roberts is a charming beauty, a red-haired beast with a gorgeous smile, who has played in the most famous romantic comedies. I have collected eight wonderful films with her that will warm any woman’s heart.

• Pretty Woman, 1990 
• Ocean’s Twelve, 2004  
• Notting Hill, 1999 
• Erin Brockovich, 2000 
• Mirror Mirror, 2012  
• Eat Pray Love, 2010 
• Runaway Bride, 1999 
• Sleeping with the Enemy, 1991 

Baz Luhrmann movies ( 5 movies, over 10 hours)

Luhrmann’s visual splendor and touching storytelling are perfect for a girls’ party. Get ready to ride an emotional rollercoaster and don’t skimp on the glitz – dress up as starlets from his films! It is one of the most fantastic movie marathon ideas for girls, for sure! “The Great Gatsby” offers dapper elegance, while “Moulin Rouge” dazzles with corsets and feather boas. Mix up cocktails to match each movie’s theme—perhaps sparkling champagne for the opulence of Gatsby and a luscious French martini for Bohemian Rhapsody’s Moulin Rouge. The World of Baz celebrates love in all its messy and sparkling forms.

• The Great Gatsby, 2013 
• Moulin Rouge!, 2001 
• Australia, 2008  
• Romeo + Juliet, 1996  
• Strictly Ballroom, 1992 

Musical movie marathon ( 8 movies, 16 hours)

There is a myth that the film musical is a genre characterized by exceptional ease and stereotypes. Its attributes are indeed recognizable and simple. However, there is room for imagination and food for thought behind the apparent predictability. Musical film marathons are incredible.  There are so many musicals that it’s hard to choose, so I’ll tell you my favorites. And free up some space near the sofa, because you will sometimes want to dance!

• An American in Paris, 1951
• Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, 1953
• West Side Story, 1961
• Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, 1964 
• Funny Girl, 1968
• Cabaret, 1972
• Grease, 1978
• Moulin Rouge!, 2001

Bridget Jones’s Diary  ( 3 movies, 6 hours)

As they say, when life is going through a rough patch, you need to turn on Bridget Jones’s Diary, preferably in the company of some goodies and wine. This film helps you unwind and see that you can look at adversity positively and act in your interests. Plus, I want to mention a brilliant starring in this pictures!

• Bridget Jones’s Diary, 2001 
• Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, 2004
• Bridget Jones’s Baby, 2016  

Legally Blonde story ( 3 movies, 5 hours)

Almost everyone has probably watched the film “Legally Blonde” at least once. I advise everyone who believes that peaks are conquered by others who are more successful/rich/beautiful to watch this short movie marathon. The film is so easy and, at the same time, gives such a charge for moving forward that you will not notice how you want to learn something new with joy and enthusiasm.

See for yourself, with your children or granddaughters. Time will fly by! And I hope that we will soon see a new Legally Blonde 3 (20 years later).

• Legally Blonde, 2001 
• Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, 2003 
• Legally Blondes, 2009 
• Legally Blonde 3 coming soon

Bronte sisters adaptations ( 3 movies, 9 hours) 

There are rarely three famous writers in one family. The sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë created outstanding novels, each of which, in its own way, reflected the mores of British society in the mid-19th century.

I tried to make a selection of the best film adaptations of the Brontë sisters’ works—it’s so nice to be transported, at least for an evening, to Victorian England and witness the characters’ complex relationships.

• Jane Eyre, 2006 
• Wuthering Heights, 1992 
• The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, 1996

Travel movies marathon ( 7 movies, 12 hours) 

Put all your worries aside, brew herbal tea, sit back on the sofa, take your pet with you, and enjoy watching. One of these films may rekindle your memory of a previous trip or give you an idea for a new journey on your next vacation.

• The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, 2013  
• Eat Pray Love, 2010  
• The Darjeeling Limited, 2007  
• Due Date, 2010
• Midnight in Paris, 2011  
• The Motorcycle Diaries, 2004 
• Tracks, 2013 

Bondiana ( 10 movies, 20 hours)

He is a charming ladies’ man, drinker, wit, and sophisticated gentleman. Over the years, Bond has mutated into a killing machine, practically devoid of humor. Tracing the evolution of Agent 007 is a hilarious experience, especially if you like the acidic 60s and crazy 70s. Only the most persistent viewer can watch all 24 films, so I chose the best 10 for you!

• Never Say Never Again, 1983 
• From Russia with Love, 1963 
• The Spy Who Loved Me, 1977 
• Tomorrow Never Dies, 1997
• GoldenEye, 1995 
• Die Another Day, 2002 
• Casino Royale, 2006 
• Dr. No, 1962 
• Skyfall, 2012 
• Goldfinger, 1964

The Hunger Games  (5 movies, 8 hours) 

Of all the abundance of post-apocalyptic serial monsters, I chose The Hunger Games as the most crazy, uneven and daring. Future, Districts, and carnage for survival are the number one show. Everything is presented with the splendor, luxury, and scope of the Roman Empire, and Jennifer Lawrence is the main decorator of the cycle. If you missed at least one part, this is a reason to watch the whole story from the beginning.

• The Hunger Games, 2012 
• The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, 2013 
• The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, 2014 
• The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, 2015 
• The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, 2023 

Tim Burton’s scary fairy tales ( 7 movies, 13 hours) 

Tim Burton’s cinematic universe enjoys the love and recognition of the public – he can amaze with his creativity both fans of spectacular genre cinema and connoisseurs of original films that make the heart beat in anticipation of something enchanting and, perhaps, a little frightening. I want to present the ten best movies of the great and terrible king of Gothic fairy tales. It’s a good movie marathon for aesthetes.

• Beetlejuice, 1988 
• Edward Scissorhands, 1990
• Sleepy Hollow, 1999 
• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 2005  
• Alice in Wonderland, 2010 
• Dark Shadows, 2012  
• Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, 2016   

Stephen King’s creepy stories ( 9 movies, 17 hours)

Girls love good scary movies, and Stephen King is one of the most filmed writers in the world. More than 200 films and TV series have been created based on his works and scripts.

• Carrie, 1976 
• The Shining, 1980 
• The Dead Zone, 1983 
• Christine, 1983 
• Pet Sematary, 1989  
• It, 1990
