There are some movies that are considered long but they are so well made that I never feel the length when I'm watching them:


CASINO
ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA
NASHVILLE
GOODFELLAS
SCARFACE
MAGNOLIA
WEST SIDE STORY
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
PULP FICTION
JACKIE BROWN
GONE WITH THE WIND
SUPERMAN II
MALCOLM X
THE DEPARTED

Das Boot
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Apocalypse Now
Magnolia
Once Upon a Time in The West
The Good the Bad and The Ugly
Avatar

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, of course. Worth every minute!

I most recently thoroughly enjoyed Scarface, if you consider that long, same with Lord of the Rings, some of the Harry Potters, The Dark Knight, and The Green Mile.

Oh man, I watched Scarface last year. Isn't it pure awesomeness?

I enjoyed the movie a lot more than I thought I would, but the story itself is probably one of the best that I've ever seen, and Al Pacino's performance was Godly.

Exactly. Lots of stupid crap going on; since I'm a native spanish speaker, I had lots of fun with Al's attempts at throwing words in spanish in the middle of his angry rants; and I do think there's some bad acting and editing going on in it. But Al made Tony Montana awesome, and Tony has what it takes: balls. And he goes so over the top, I'm in love with the movie. Watched it several times like an idiot. ****ing cockroaches. Coño. Cabron. How ya' like that?

170+ minutes:

The Godfather Part I & II
Magnolia
Fanny and Alexander
La Dolce Vita
Short Cuts
Inland Empire
Once Upon a Time in America
Gone With the Wind

Is there any long movie experience like Dances With Wolves? I took me to the age of 19 this year (well i was 18 at the time of viewing) to finally see the movie because i haven't had the patience for older westerns and when i saw this one i just became demystified to my lack of understanding of the genre. I get it now you know, it's about the mystery and ambiguity of the grand wild wild west and there are cow bows and indians: good ones and bad on this roller coaster voyage.
