Very interested in hearing your reactions to "Before Sunset" and "Before Midnight." When the third one first came out, I did them three nights in a row and found it to be ... a lot. Maybe leave some breathing room. I don't know if you've seen Linklater's "Boyhood," but it's also a very deep experience of the passage of time, in a different way from the "Before" films. Linklater is also currently involved in a unique attempt to film the Sondheim musical "Merrily We Roll Along." Famously problematic because the show is supposed to start with the characters as bitter, cynical, middle-aged adults and then progressing backwards in time to their optimistic youth, Linklater and cast are filming it "backwards," over the course of years.
