Jack Nevada Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So yeah, what is the longest movie you have watched? To me its Gone with the Wind (3h 58min), which is a super-entertaining movie despite its gargantuan length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Probably Hamlet (4hours 2minutes) and that movie is near perfect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Does CARLOS count (5 hrs 38 minutes)? If not, probably HAMLET. I'm tempted to try and watch SATANTANGO sometime, just to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The official Guinness record is for a movie called The cure for insomnia (87 hours). However, I have read there is a movie called Modern Times Forever (2011) which is 240 hours long!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Longest for me I believe is Abel Grance's Napoleon (1927) which runs some 5.5 hours-ish. Absolute masterpiece and one of my favourites of all time. Edited March 11, 2013 by riczhang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Too bad Von Stroheim's 23-hour cut of GREED has been lost forever. The pieces I saw of the severely truncated version were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Being from India, "long" is relative when it comes to talking about movies. I have seen four hour epics like [*]"Jodha Akbar" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodha_Akbar [*]Lagaan, 225 minutes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagaan 4 hour long movies which made me question why I ever came to the theater to watch it, [*]LOC Kargil, 247 minutes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOC_Kargil [*]Salaam-e-Ishq, 224 minutes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salaam-e-Ishq:_A_Tribute_to_Love [*]What's your Rashee, 205 minutes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27s_Your_Raashee%3F But the longest movie I have seen is Raj Kapoor's semi-autobiographical "Mera Naam Joker" at 255 minutes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mera_Naam_Joker Edited March 11, 2013 by grim22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
