Rob Reiner tribute movie marathon planned for January 25 at Oakland’s New Parkway Theater
An all-day lineup of films Reiner directed, plus ticket packages and themed meals
An all-day Rob Reiner tribute marathon is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026, at The New Parkway Theater in Uptown Oakland. The event is programmed as a daylong sequence of screenings drawn from Reiner’s directing work, with marathon-pass options and the ability to purchase tickets for individual films.
The New Parkway, located at 474 24th Street, is a cinema known for a mix of first-run titles and special events. For this program, the theater has listed both a standard marathon pass and a higher-priced package that includes meals, alongside single-film tickets.
Schedule: six films spanning comedy, courtroom drama and a modern fairy tale
The posted schedule begins in the morning and runs late into the evening. Films listed for the marathon include:
- This Is Spinal Tap (10:00 a.m.)
- The Sure Thing (11:55 a.m.)
- A Few Good Men (2:00 p.m.)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (3:00 p.m.)
- When Harry Met Sally (4:55 p.m.)
- Misery (7:05 p.m.)
- The Princess Bride (9:30 p.m.)
Not every title in the lineup was directed by Reiner. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) was directed by Steve Barron, while Reiner appears in the marathon’s program as a director of several other scheduled films, including This Is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, Misery and A Few Good Men.
Ticketing: marathon passes and single-film options
The theater has advertised two main package options: a marathon pass starting at the morning kickoff, and a separate package that pairs the marathon with multiple themed meals. Single-film tickets are also offered for attendees who want to attend one or more screenings without committing to the full day.
Context: a local memorial-style event built around shared viewing
Organizers have presented the Oakland marathon as a community watch party intended to remember Reiner through his most recognized films. A public call for RSVPs circulated in late December, followed by updates in January indicating the event had been confirmed and encouraging advance ticket purchases as final attendance numbers were assessed.
Event details: Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026; The New Parkway Theater, 474 24th St., Oakland; morning-to-late-night schedule with pass and single-film options.
Oakland’s film calendar that weekend includes other programming at local theaters, but the Reiner marathon stands out for its single-day, multi-title format and its emphasis on communal viewing—an approach that has become a staple of repertory-style events in the East Bay.
