I think we are always iffy about movies with more than 3 hours of runtime, sometimes they pay off and you barely feel the time passing (Schindler’s List is a good example), sometimes you feel every single second passing by.
However I’d like to know about really long films you’ve watched (+4 hours, preferentially) and if it was worth it watching it, you had to pause it or do you think it could’ve been much shorter.

I watched Lagaan, which was 3 hours and 45 minutes long. It got kinda boring but still, thankful for the musical scenes.

This film was nominated for two Oscars: Adapted Screenplay and Supporting Actor and has a total of 6 hours of runtime. I would like to know if it’s worth the watch.

Lawrence of Arabia
Dr. Zhivago
The IrishmanDecember 5, 2020 at 7:06 am #1203895801So many good ones:
The Lord Of The Rings trilogy
Schindler’s List
Ben-Hur (the 1959 version)
Lawrence Of Arabia
Doctor Zhivago
The IrishmanThe only 3 hour film I remember really not liking is JFK. Great actors and great production value, but all a bunch of historical nonsense. Walter Cronkite was deeply insulted by the film, and I don’t blame him. The man literally had to announce Kennedy’s death to the nation.

The first hour drags on way too long, mainly because of the wedding. Then, once De Niro, Walken, and the others actually go to Vietnam, then it becomes interesting.
