If you’ve ever wondered what it must be like for actors to watch themselves in a movie, you can find out by watching Shia LaBeouf do just that. The unconventional actor is holding an event at New York City’s Angelika Film Center in which fans are invited to marathon all of his movies with him over a three-day period — and for free at that. Movies are being shown in reverse chronological order.

LaBeouf is calling the marathon the #AllMyMovies project and even launched a website. Per the announcement, the event began at noon on November 10 and will continue for 24 hours a day until the actor and any visitors have viewed his catalog of films. Those who aren’t able to drop by the theater, which is located at 18 West Houston Street in Manhattan, can also check in via live stream. (Be warned, however, that it doesn’t always work.)

Naturally, the unique event has already inspired a lot of buzz. On Twitter, #AllMyMovies has picked up steam, with people talking about the actor making himself cry and sharing their favorite GIFs from the only hours-old project. Still others are commenting on this form of performance art.

How come when Shia LaBeouf watches movies for 3 days straight, it’s “performance art”, but when I do it it’s “get a life”?

There’s clearly still a lot to be curious about regarding the event. For example, will LaBeouf only screen films that previously had a theatrical release? Early in his career, the actor starred in multiple TV movies, including Disney Channel’s The Even Stevens Movie. It would be entertaining to see the contrast from recent work as a veteran actor to his days as a child star.

Unfortunately, LaBeouf hasn’t been live-tweeting the event, but, of course, other people are. We’ll have to turn to them for answers and updates.

Cinco de Mayo weekend 2024 gets an undisputed Super Middleweight Championship fight between two Mexican boxers. Jaime Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) challenges Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) for Canelo's undisputed middleweight belts.

One of HBO’s biggest hits is back. Here’s why you need to stream 2024’s most addictive crime saga

Three people stand at a wedding in The Jinx: Part Two.

On March 15, 2015, the most infamous hot mic moment ever to air on television shocked the world. Real estate scion Robert Durst, who had been implicated, but had thus far escaped justice in three murders committed from 1982 to 2003, inexplicably agreed to sit for a series of interviews with filmmaker Andrew Jarecki. The director had made a fictional feature film, All Good Things, that was loosely based on the disappearance of Durst’s first wife, Kathie, starring Barbie actor Ryan Gosling and Civil War's Kirsten Dunst.

Confronted, finally, with near-irrefutable evidence collected by Jarecki’s team that seemed to implicate Durst in the murder of his best friend Susan Berman in 2001, Durst lumbered off to the bathroom, where, forgetting his microphone was still on, he murmured, “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.” Such was the ending of The Jinx, a phenomenon for HBO when it aired more than nine years ago. But there was more story still to tell, and Jarecki’s follow-up, The Jinx: Part Two, now airing on HBO and streaming on Max, bucks the odds by sustaining the intensity and pure weirdness with which The Jinx concluded nearly a decade ago.

10 best action-comedies of all-time, ranked

Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon.

While straight action films like John Wick are far from extinct, it's the action comedies that tend to become the popular box office hits. Movie fans just love to laugh at the funny parts while enjoying the accompanying action. Not every action comedy is created equal, and Hollywood has admittedly gone to the well with the buddy-cop movies a little bit too often.

This weekend, The Fall Guy is the latest action comedy to attempt to give the genre some fresh blood, even though it's technically based on a TV series from the '80s that has largely been forgotten. Regardless, that's as good a reason as any to update our list of the best action comedies of all time. It would be too easy to load up this list with films from the '80s and '90s, when action comedies were at their peak. However, we've also saved some slots for more recently released action comedies that deserve some recognition as well.
