'The Lord of the Rings' Marathon — Extended Edition

Overview

They're taking the hobbits to Isengard at the Lido, Classic and Cameo cinemas this winter, with one movie marathon to rule them all. Round up the Fellowship, stock up on lembas bread for sustenance and hide your finest pipe-weed from the Southfarthing for a sitting of all three of Peter Jackson's beloved OG Tolkien film adaptations in their extended editions.

Kicking off with The Fellowship of the Ring and ending with The Return of the King (with The Two Towers in the middle, of course), this cave troll of a marathon will see you making the cinema your home for almost 12 hours — with a screening on Saturday, July 27 at Cameo; one on Sunday, July 28 at Classic; and sessions across both days at Lido.

If you make it through breakfast and second breakfast to the final handful of endings, you can pat yourself on the back and smash a ringwraith screech at the nearest person on your way home (note: do not actually screech at people).

Tickets are the precious and come in at $35 for the whole ordeal.
