Isn't it the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan?

Rope and Russian Ark were both filmed as one continuous tracking shot. There were practical problems in doing this for Rope because of the length of reels of film which could fit into a camera, so Hitchcock used tricks to disguise the changes of reels and give the illusion of continuity. I am not sure about Russian Ark.
There are many films with long shots which do not consist of the whole film. Two I remember are the last shot in Antonioni's The Passenger (at least 10 minutes) and the opening shot of Truffaut's Night for Day which is an overhead shot of a large number of extras and must have taken a lot of coordination.

Rope does actually have several cuts throughout. the reels of film used to shoot Rope only lasted about 10 minutes each so every 10 minutes in the movie the camera clumsily focuses on something black (usually someones back) and cuts without it being visible to the audience.
Orson Welles' Touch of Evil has a terrific tracking shot which last about 6 minutes and there's also a very long one in godard's Weekend at a traffic jam. The Goodfellas walk through the kitchen into the back of a club is also amazing.

The longest unbroken scene I know of is the Alfred Hitchcock film ROPE. The entire film is basically one long scene set in a new york apartment. I dont think there's a single cut in the film.

i remember 2 action movies that have spectacular unbroken tracking shots...
John Woo's Hard Boiled had a last bodycount-over-the-roof hospital scene with a tracking shot tht followed our heroes as they shot thru a whole floor of bad guys, went in the elevator, got out, and shot thru another floor full of baddies... utter carnage...
And of course Kill Bill Vol 1 had a long tracking shot at O-Rens place as well, not the first time Tarantin has used long tracking shots but i cant remember the others...

The hallway scene in Pulp Fiction when SLJ & JT are getting ready to go into the apartment to get the briefcase & they're talking about Tony Rocky Horror getting thrown out a window for giving Mia a foot massage.

I don't know the particular scene, but it would have to be one of the very long takes in Rope (directed by Alfred Hitchcock). The movie is full feature length, but only has a handful of scenes (I think 4). It was also acclaimed and regarded as one of Hitchcock's best.
I admire Hitchcock, but find him overrated (though very talented and innovative).

The Rope by Alfred Hitchcock was filmed in one continuous take I think

I think that is likely to be 'timecode' the entire film was shot as if it was one take. I'm sure there area couple of edits in there.
