Longest Films

[MinimalistCouch]

Off the ntop of your head, what are the longest movies you've ever seen. They can't be TV miniseries like Roots, but movies that were actually released in theaters.

I know a couple like
Gettysburg, and 1900

[Darrell]

I don't know about "longest" but ROtK was pretty long

[Tayzlor]

Apocalypse Now Redux was quite long, 202 minutes I believe.

A lot of the new footage was unnecessary, like the French plantation or the extended bunny scenes, but the majority took nothing away from the film.

[J.Bo--tox]

Das Boot the directors cut.
1996 Hamlet.
Gone with the wind.

[Mr. Fred Krueger]

Return of the King

Apocalypse Now Redux

Godfather II

[giftedinpants]

Gods and Generals(shudder)

[BorderEevilIII]

Giant - the Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean movie was looooooooooong!

Gangs of New York
Long flick yes but the excellent story and pacing made up for it...

lol... I think that one could go under the thread "Really long movies that seemed longer than they actually were."

I only made it through an hour and a half of that one and I felt like I had lost 4 hours of my life.

[bankholdup]

Dances With Wolves (extended version) - 237 minutes
Once Upon A Time In America - 227 minutes
Lawrence of Arabia - 227 minutes

[MacReady]

The Cure For Insomnia

3 days, 15 hours and 22 minutes long.

Wow, you've seen that?

[KTJ2004]

I don't know the exact number of minutes (over three hours), but Titanic was VERY VERY long...

"Titanic" is 3 hours 16 minutes long. That's 196 total minutes! I didn't mind that though. I enjoyed it. I think its an example of one of those films that you enjoy and want to see more of. It's worth the nearly 200 minute running time.

ROTK. Just to think that Peter Jackson cut an Hour & a half from the movie. & LOTR has made the guiness(sp) book for the longest credits. 9 Minutes of credit at the end of ROTK. & most fans probably never seen the Making of Pictures at the end of the credits. The last time I saw ROTK I promised myself that I would wait to checkout the pictures. I was on my way home when I realized & forgot to wait after the credits. Oh Well, I will just have to wait for the DVD next month.

It's mostly about poems, monologues and porn.

Never seen it though.

That was long, but worth it :cool:

[Erin123]

Schindler's List went for about 3 1/2 hours. It's pretty long but worth it all the same.

That can't be. Pirates of the Caribbean has exactly 10 minutes of credits.

[Hannibal21]

Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Cleopatra and David Lean's Doctor Zhivago

Not THE longest movies (though over 3 hrs, they are VERY VERY long), but they just felt like the longest ones to me. Two movies I've never been able to sit through from beginning to end without falling asleep.

[jason statham]

1.JFK
2.Gone with the wind
3.apocalypse now

Not really. I remember seeing it mentioned on a "weird movies" thread once and remembered it since. I'd dearly love to go to college or university that's playing (if ever they play it for experimental purposes). I don't know if I'd be up to the challege (I personally think so) but it would be nice to try it.

[Begbie2004]

I remember seeing this russian war film translated "Blood of Heroes". Really violent and really sad. it was five and a half hours long. It chronicles three soldiers during world war 2. Very reminiscent of Peckinpah and John Woo.

[Begbie2004]

I heard that their is a five hour version of Apocalypse Now. Is this true?

[The Other]

The Director's Cut of Ingmar Bergman's FANNY AND ALEXANDER is about 5 hours and 12 minutes.

[Raoul Duke]

I dunno if it counts, but, Capturing The Friedmans is 3 hrs. 55 mins.

[Avid_Fan]

SCARLET is about 6 hours long

Of course, those are all good long movies.

The version of it they released on DVD is an extended version that is more than twice as long as the theatrical version.

[Jamesadin]

Gods and Generals... Horrible, horrible movie.

Well, if you could pack four hours on each disk if would still amount to around 22 discs.

[dollface]

MAGNOLIA - and I saw this at the 10 pm show; I really liked it but I had a hard time staying awake

[ilovemovies]

Well Kenneth Branaugh's Hamlet is over four hours long. But I have only seen a few scenes from it. So movies that I've seen I'd say the longest movies I've ever seen are:

Malcolm X
Schindler's List
The Godfather Part II
JFK
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King


That is all I can think of.
