Quick Answer

Pick a film category and a daily time budget, then the calculator filters a watchlist and tells you how many Oscar-era movies fit.

How to Calculate an Oscar Marathon

  1. Choose the film type and runtime filter.
  2. Enter how many minutes you can watch each day.
  3. Sort the watchlist by shortest or longest runtime.
  4. See how many films fit and how much time the marathon will take.

Formula

Total watch time = sum of selected runtimes

Days needed = total watch time / daily viewing time

Worked Examples

Example 1: 3 movies totaling 360 minutes with 180 minutes per day = 2 days.

Example 2: 5 movies totaling 515 minutes with 120 minutes per day = 4.3 days.

Example 3: 2 movies totaling 210 minutes with 90 minutes per day = 2.3 days.
