The Godfather is a good pick; one of my all time faves. Invariably I'd fall asleep in front of the TV. Would that disqualify me?

Take that long to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Then when you do, you’ll want to watch the movie “backwards”. (Watch the movie and you’ll know what I mean.) :)

I'm a science fiction and fantasy film buff and could easily watch any of these over and over again:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (extended version)
Blade Runner (director's cut)
The Fifth Element
The Matrix
Avatar (extended version)
The Lord of The Rings trilogy (extended versions, all three films)
As long as I'm including a trilogy of films as one option, I supposed I could go bananas and offer a series of films. If I could stay away long enough (as it would take more than 24 hours), I wouldn't mind doing a marathon of all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. They aren't great cinema, but they sure are fun.

I wouldn't want to watch a favorite movie, as I would be sick of it after 24 hours and would never want to see it again. I would prefer to watch something I hated; a movie that I wanted to walk out of in the middle of, as it made no sense or was simply awful. The one that comes to mind is "The English Patient", a great example of a terrible motion picture that won the best picture Academy Award. I would have 24 hours to figure out what the Academy voters saw that made them think this was a good film. Boring, boring, boring.

Good strategy! If you still couldn't figure out after 24 hours you know it's terrible.

I do watch the same movie every year for 24 hours, but I don't get a million dollars for it. My family watches "A Christmas Story" marathon every year. It's a family tradition that is carried on in their households, too.
If I had to choose another one, it would probably be "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951 version) or "The World, The Flesh and the Devil." I really like aliens and disaster movies!
