How many times have you watched it? I've watched The Human Condition, and it's a very good film. One of the best.

there are several cuts: 229 min | 139 min (re-cut) | 259 min (2012) Sergio Leone worked more than 20 years on this masterpiece. Ennio Morricone provided the soundtrack before any footage was shot, Leone just wandered to possible locations listening to the soundtrack for more than 10 years, then worked on the movie for another 10 years. The first version was more than 6 hours long but producers forced him to cut it down to 139 min for a cinema release. Later he made a director's cut, unfortunately he died before he could realize his plan for a version in full-length. It's hard to keep track of the different versions, I didn't even know the mentioned 259 min on imdb.

There are many pages and lists elsewhere devoted to this discussion; this is too off-topic for "off-topic". Title: Re: Some films that are bit longer than usual Post by: FirstAscent on September 12, 2013, 04:08:33 AM Hamlet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet_%281996_film%29) (1996) - 242 minutes There are many pages and lists elsewhere devoted to this discussion; this is too off-topic for "off-topic". What the fuck ever. The point was to share out some films that others should perhaps watch. Go put A Brighter Summer Day on your want to watch list and come back when you've seen it.

I wasn't really intending this to be a reference for the longest films ever. More, it was supposed to be a thread of interesting long films. The very well known titles in my original list are there mostly to provide a comparison. The real purpose is to point out some critically acclaimed long films - films of interest. Title: Re: Some films that are bit longer than usual Post by: Anon135246 on September 12, 2013, 06:50:50 AM Dances with Wolves was pretty long aswell - 181 minutes.

I need to finish that one. nope, leone did a bunch of good western films ("Once upon a time in the west" being the best known) but this one is a gangster movie about a former prohibition-era jewish gangster who returns to manhattan 30 years later to face the ghosts of his life. a lot of the usual suspects are acting in it. Robert De Niro, James Woods, Joe Pesci, Burt Young.

Robert De Niro, James Woods, Joe Pesci, Burt Young. You're correct. I saw "Once upon a time..." and Sergio Leone, and my mind filled in "America" with "the West". And both are long films. Title: Re: Some films that are bit longer than usual Post by: faiza1990 on September 12, 2013, 04:48:25 PM I just have watched this new thread and topis is also good I have watched just these 3 longest movies in this list
Ben-Hur: 212 minutes Lawrence of Arabia: 216 minutes The Ten Commandments: 220 minutes : 8) Title: Re: Some films that are bit longer than usual Post by: FirstAscent on September 12, 2013, 05:06:35 PM In general, I think 100 minutes is ideal for a film. Longer films can usually be made better if they are more tightly edited. Incorrect. A longer film made shorter is simply a different film. It might be better than the longer film, but it's a different film. If one studies film grammar, and the styles of directors, notably those that are considered to be auteurs, you'll find that their style is integral to the films they make. Yang's Yi Yi is nearly three hours long. There are some long shots in that film. But my gosh, I would never want it shorter.

Indian Movies all time have some long time then western and other asian like hong kong like markets Title: Re: Some films that are bit longer than usual Post by: flagel8 on September 13, 2013, 08:31:50 AM ...Yang's Yi Yi is nearly three hours long. ... What the! Another of my syndrome films that I haven't (yet) watched. I need to block off 3 (!) hours for this! I usually don't watch films because I need to see them at one sitting, so I'm used to only watching them if I can get 2 hours uninterrupted. Obtaining 3 might be a struggle. |
