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

Once upon a time in America
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.

Hamlet (1996) - 242 minutes There are many pages and lists elsewhere devoted to this discussion; this is too off-topic for "off-topic".

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.

A Western. That reminds me of Heaven's Gate. I need to finish that one.

Modern Times Forever: 14,400 minutes
Is it any good? How many times have you watched it? No, it's just time-lapse footage of an ageing building, apparently created for the sole purpose of beating the record for the world's longest movie. I got bored after a few minutes. The Cure for Insomnia is better, though I haven't watched the whole thing, mainly because I don't actually have insomnia.

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.

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.

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.

What is your favorite long movie? Let's say, any film greater than 160 minutes?

...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.
