Longest movie ever?!!!!!!?

Question

I just watched pirates of carabean (the new one) and it was SO DAMN long.. I wouldn't have been able to last if it wasn't for Johnny and Orlando ;)

Answer 1

Big Trouble in Little China--it just keeps senselessly going and going, UGH! Make it stop, make it stop!

The Long Kiss Goodnight--my God the title tries to warn you, but I unfortunately got stuck watching this 3 different times with other people! D'oh!

Toy Story 2, the "ending" was about an hour and a half I think.

The Deer Hunter: Other than the vietnam parts, this movie dragged on and on and on....

Answer 2

From Answerbag.com...

"Film stock by Czech director Buracz Bosnitz in 1968 consisted of 908 hours of blank film. Not surprisingly, it was only shown once and then used to film movies. The longest UK film was a 1970s British underground movie called 'The Longest Most meaningless Movie in the World' which lasted for 48 hours.

One of the longest commercially made talking films was Lawrence of Arabia which was made in 1962 by English director David McLean and starred Peter O'Toole. It runs for three hours 42 minutes - two minutes longer than Gone With The Wind"

and

"Various long movies have been made purely for the sake of being long, like the 85 hour Cure For Insomnia. Given that it's just made up of bits of petry recitals, rock concerts and pornography, most people wouldn't class it as a real film.

Edgar Reitz' excellent 15 hour 40 minute film Heimat was made to be shown on TV in episodes, but it has been shown in marathon cinema screenings as has Rainer Werner Fassbinder's acclaimed Berlin Alexanderplatz (15 hour 20 mins). Reitz has made two sequels: Heimat 2 runs 25 1/2 hours, Heimat 3 a mere 12. Heimat 2 has the Guinness World Record for 'Longest Film Commercially Shown In Its Entirety'.

Other good long films are Christine Edzard's 6 hour film of Little Dorrit (starring Derek Jacobi and Alec Guinness), Abel Gance's Napoleon (originally 9 hours, although only a 7 1/2 hour version survives), Claude Lanzmann's 9 1/2 hour Holocaust documentary Shoah and Masaki Kobayashi's The Human Condition (10 hours). All the films mentioned here (apart from Cure For Insomnia) are well worth seeing."

Answer 3

The Cure for Insomnia (1987) is the longest movie ever made at a total running time of 85 hours (5,220 min) . It premiered in its entirety at The School Of The Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois from January 31 to February 3, 1987, in one continuous showing.
