Blankments Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 no. two of my favourites, barry lyndon and dogville, are well over 150 minutes. and sitting on my to-watch list is seven samurai, inland empire and andrei rublev, and given their reputation i don't expect being bloated to be among their problems. and i suppose there's lord of the rings, too. Seven Samurai is good. I said generally. There are exceptions, but in my mind, 150 is the golden number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Honestly - 1:30-2:00. If I'm picking a movie to watch at home (Netflix, whatever) and I see something longer than 120 minutes it's a deterrent. Of course there are exceptions - Titanic, Cloud Atlas, etc. But if I'm going into a movie blind then there's no way I pick the 150 minute movie over the 90 minute.

RichWS Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Between 1:30 and 2 is good for me. If you're gonna be over two hours, you better earn your length. My problem is too many films don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Depends on what kind of movie it is. I've watched movies that were very entertaining and for me, they could've been 5 hours long, but I also watched movies boring as fuck that went on and on for... nothing. Comedies are just fine between 1.5-2 hours. Action flicks, depends what kind of action: Stalloneish type of action around 1.5 hours, but blockbuster action like Pacific Rim and Transformers, can go for like two hours or more. A movie like Lincoln should max out at 1 hour, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
