The ultimate summer movie marathon!!!
Memorial Day Weekend is upon us. It's safe to say the year 2020 has been unlike any other. Still, in my eyes one of the best ways to escape from the current problems of today is to sit down and have a good old fashion movie marathon. This upcoming weekend I always take in a viewing of Stephen King's Rose Red (which takes place during the Memorial Day weekend) To me this weekend is the kicking off point to summer. In another week or so we have Slasher Film Week, and I reopen Camp Staystillreviews. Like I said, I know things are different and kinda scary this year, but with the warm weather coming up I can see many movie marathons in my future to kick back and relax. Here is a list of several movies that would make a killer summer movie marathon!!!
