Favorite very long movies?
 

What are some long movies you enjoy so much that they seem to go by quickly despite their length?

I'd say Magnolia, for me. I think it just feels so jammed with energy and great moments that I stay engrossed throughout.

I'd 100% agree.

Just so I can beat Mr. Minio to it:

Probably the longest film I have seen so far:

But never once is it boring/uninteresting, epic film.

My top two films from my last list are both two and a half hours but feel nothing like it.

Also, Inland Empire, many people will find it difficult to sit through but I thought it was three hours of insane but awesome scenes, a hell of a ride.

Gone With The Wind (4hours)
LOTR:The Return Of The King(extended version) (4 hours and a few more mins)

Re: Favorite very long movies?
 

The damn extended version. I haven't watched it yet. Really need to, hear pretty nice stuff.

Technically it was a German mini-series but when it got to my country it was a multi-day movie. Great too. I own it on Criterion DVD. I've posted about it here in the past.

I really need to see this too.

Both are 15+ hours. :cool:

Re: Favorite very long movies?
 

I second Seven Samurai, 200 minutes of pure fun.

My new fav movie is 4 hours long but it's divided into two parts so it may be considered two 2 hour movies, but I found it extremely entertaining. Another very entertaining long film divided into two parts is Kill Bill.

Re: Favorite very long movies?
 

Yeah I thought of Kill Bill but figured it didn't count. Never tried the double (or full) feature. Should do it one of these days.

Re: Favorite very long movies?
 

I think I sorta prefer KB volume 1 yet I've somehow managed to see volume 2 more...

Re: Favorite very long movies?
 

The first one is more fun, the second one has more drama(ish). Plus it has all the Bill stuff, and that's one endearing murdering bastard.

Re: Favorite very long movies?
 

Yeah, the first volume was more action-packed, I think. I really liked the anime flashback part, too. I think I'll rewatch it tonight and then maaybe volume 2.

Re: Favorite very long movies?
 

This masterpiece.

Seven Samurai
Ben Hur
Red Beard
Ten Commandments

How could I forget this. Longer than Seven Samurai, I remember I stayed up from like 1AM to 5AM to watch this, I expected to fall asleep tired when I put it on (not because of the movie, but the time), but the movie kept me awake, I just couldn't stop watching it. Brilliant.

Definitely Gone With the Wind, Cleopatra and all three Lord of the Rings films! :D

Like mark, I too am looking forward to one day seeing Heimat. It was shown over here when I was a child but, obviously, I didn't watch it.

I can't believe I forgot this.

One of my absolute favourite films and the time just flies by.

This went pretty quickly, too, but I've only seen it once.
