It Ain't Over Till It's Over: Movies I Love That Are 2-1/2 Hours Or Longer
We all know that feeling when we've been watching a feature film, it's getting to that two hour point, and you're thinking it's getting a little too long. There are even some shorter films that feel too long. Most of the time those just suck. But then there are those films that cross the two and a half hour mark, and even the three hour mark, which are so good that you feel like you've spent a lifetime with the characters and you don't want it to end. There are some other films with long running times that are not on this list, which I like very much. But here's a list of my favorite long films that I could watch over and over again, even if they consume hours of my life.
So many great movies on this list..HEAT, WOODSTOCK, THE DEER HUNTER, JACKIE BROWN, THE GODFATHER...
Sweet list.
CASINO is the fastest 3 hours you'll ever spend watching a movie. God bless Marty and Thelma.
I agree with JohnQuinn: "Casino" flies.
"Dances with Wolves" and "Kingdom of Heaven" are two of my favorite '150 minutes or longer' films, but you have some great picks here.
