'Renaldo and Clara', 1978 or '79. The documentary/cinema verite/role playing film of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review. Panned by critics and even a lot of fans, my first ex-wife and I sat through the entire opening night showing in Westwood Village. There were some very good performances by Bob, some in whiteface, with a band that included, if I can remember something I saw once nearly 30 years ago, Mick Ronson, Scarlet Rivera, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, David Mansfield, maybe T-bone Burnett, maybe Nils Lofgren, and a bunch of others. Something that sticks out in my mind is a visit by Bob and the late Allen Ginsberg to Jack Kerouac's grave in Lowell, Mass. The film clocked in at around four hours.
Other long movies I have enjoyed were Fasbinder's "Berlin Alexanderplatz", but I saw that on TV, either PBS or Bravo, and it was spread out over several nights in one- or two-hour installments which totalled something like 11 or 12 hours; "Paris, Texas" I think was about three hours long, and numerous others.
I never saw but would be interested in seeing Andy Warhol's film of the Empire State Building and the one of the guy sleeping, each of which runs for several hours.

I once watched every episode of Friends in a week. I would not do that again as by the end reality had blurred with fiction. The same thing happened to my mate Chris.
As for films Metropolis is one of the longest I would gladly watch again.

Lord of the Rings. Planning on having a day to watch them all back to back.
Longest foreign film I've watched is The Seven Samurai. Saw it in a movie theatre once and they actually put a break in the middle!

Couldn't just pick one......so:
A passage to India (157 mins)
Indochine (160 mins)
Cinema Paradiso - Director's cut (170 mins)
Meet Joe Black (173 mins)
Betty Blue - Director's cut (178 mins)
The Green Mile (181 mins)
All excellent films that can be watched again and again, and the storyline and direction is so good, they don't seem that long !

JFK with Kevin Kostner... 3 and a half hours!!
It was on tv the other night and it was still ok... I watched all of it, it's not a bad film and as long as you don't have a clock in view you don't really notice that it's 3 and a half hours.
