You are a cable TV channel honcho with access to every movie ever made.
Here are some special days. I want you to pick 6 movies to show for a marathon on each special day. The movies do not necessarily have to be obviously related to the special day, but the 6 must somehow be related to each other so you can advertise it as a "(fill-in the-blank) Movie Marathon. The movies will not be edited to show in some time period allotted or for content but there will be commercials (meaning you'll have to sell advertising) so you want to make your marathon collections attractive to viewers or a particular type of viewer you think may be home watching movies that day/night.
Tell us the names of your movie marathons and the 6 movies for each. If you want to (optional), you can tell us why that group of movies.
Valentine's Day
July 4
Super Bowl Sunday
Veterans Day

Martin Luther King Day
