Three film fans in Singapore are claiming a world record for movie watching
after reportedly sitting through 36 films in 72 hours.

The trio sat on couches set up in a shopping mall to watch classics and family films :blink: , local media reported.
If confirmed by Guinness World Records, it would beat a record of 66 hours, 30 minutes set by 11 people in New York.
"The hardest part is in the morning when you get hallucinations," :lol: said one of the three, Michael Chia.
Contestants were allowed five-minute rest breaks between each movie and a 15-minute break every third film. More than 20 people reportedly dropped out.
"I am not going to watch any movies for a really long time," said finalist 24-year-old Fadzli Hussen, who stayed awake despite running a flu and taking medication.
Following their endurance test, the three were questioned on what they had seen.
Hussen won S$19,000 (£5,930) for correctly answering the most questions.
