Are the following entences correct in terms of grammar?

Hello all! I'd like to know whether the sentences below are correct.

1-)Death Note is the only anime that I've spent my whole day watching its all episodes.

2-)Dead Poets Society is the only movie that made me cry whilst making me think.

I also made 2 sentences which are alternative to the ones in above. ( Is this sentence correct as well)

1-) Death note is the only anime which I spent my whole day watch its all episodes.

2-) Dead Poets Society is the only movie which made me cry whilst make me think.

Oh again, I wonder if the subject " Are the following entences correct in terms of grammar? " is correct.

Thanks a lot!

Hello and thank you CalifJim.
CalifJimIt's understandable, but not grammatically correct. You can't have a relative clause (that I've spent ... episodes) that contains a pronoun that represents the noun that the clause modifies — 'its' in this case. And 'its all (episodes)' is not a permissible combination in English. At the very least you need 'all of its (episodes)' excep

OK. You're probably going to have to help me here. I don't know exactly what you need to have explained. Do you not know what a relative clause is? Or is the word 'pronoun' giving you trouble?

I've spent my whole day watching all the episodes of Death Note, but that's the only anime I have ever done that for.

I don't usually spend my whole day watching all the episodes of an anime, but I did for Death Note.
