Now a days the movies are gererally of shorter length lasting for about one and half hoursto two hours duration. Some are a big more longer!
Previously during our child hood the movies used to be atleast 3 hours of duration! But with the change of times and people's taste the trend has got changed and now a days movies with short durations have come up into the market!
I recall of having seen The Ten Commandments and the Hindi movie 'Mera Naam Joker' by Raj Kapoor which were more than 3 hours in duration.
Which was the longest movie seen by you so far ! Please rspond ! Thanks!

You should watch it. It's a very good movie, and I heard it's award-winning too. Russell Crowe gives one of his most memorable and acclaimed performances in this movie.

The longest movie I've seen from start to finish is "Gone With the Wind". I remember seeing "Spiderman 3" in theatres a few summers ago, and it ran about 2 1/2 hours, and it felt really long near the end. lol. I've also watched the mini series "The Stand", but I had to watch it in two parts. I believe it's 8 hours in total, so that means I only watched 4 hours straight.

I LOVE that movie and I think it is the longest one I have seen as well. Has to be one of my favorites. When I watched it I watched it on DVD and there were 3 discs, so 2 hours on each one. So if you wanted to take a break between them you could. It's really good though and time flew by when I watched it it didn't seem like it was that long.

The longest movie I have ever watched was the 1963 version of "Cleopatra" starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.This film was 243 minutes long,thats just over 4 hours long.It was a good thing that I was watching it on video at home so I could
stop and start the movie whenever I wanted a break to make a snack or tea e.t.c.

Well, in my lifetime, I have seen a couple of long movies. Some of them would be "Gone With The Wind", "King Kong" and the new Batman movie. Most of the time I prefer the shorter ones as the longer ones tend to drag, but these 3 here I mentioned are worth the time watching them so I will usually watch these more than once as well to catch what I might have missed the first time as well.

I think the longest movie I have ever seen was Gone with the Wind. I've only seen it a couple times because it is so long. I don't mind a two hour movie, but when it goes to two and half hours or three or beyond, I'm about ready for it to be over. I guess I just don't like sitting in one place so long, whether it be in a theater or at home.

probably cleopatra-the taylor/burton version.
that movie's somewhere around 4 hours long if not a bit over.
it's good,but you definetly need a bathroom break in the middle.

The Lord of the Rings and Titanic are the longest movie that I've watched and it's worth watching for.

I think the longest movie I've ever watched was either the 2nd or 3rd Harry Potter film. I just remember watching the movie at home and falling asleep through the middle and waking to find the movie still had a few more hours left. I think the move was close to 4 hours long.

Hello AKRao24, a really great question! I have seen Edgar Reitz' Heimat, which was 15 hours and 40 minutes, but was broken up for TV viewing. I've also seen Live Aid which was 600 minutes and Arthur Hailey's Roots which was 573 minutes (but again broken up for TV). Among "normal" films, I have seen Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet (240 minutes), Gone With The Wind (238 minutes),Woodstock (225 minutes) and Lawrence of Arabia (217 minutes). My personal marathon session was to watch Schindler's List (196 minutes) three times in a row - all through the night. All the best. Umart

The Tenth Kingdom, Snow Queen...um...the Lord of the Rings movies...and a few others, heh. I tend to like long movies.
But then, I tend to like looooong books too. As long as they have a good story.

That would definitely have to be Cleopatra starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton! That movie went on for a very long time but I absolutely loved it! Now that you mention the Ten Commandments, yes, I remember that being very long as well and that was another favourite movie of mine. I don't mind long movies just as long as I can make lots and lots of tea throughout the duration! Andrew

Yes, I've watched a movie already that took me almost 3 hours. I don't remember the movie title but it was a Korean movie. I started to watch it 4:00 pm in the afternoon and I finished at about 6:40 pm. I haven't noticed the time just when my sister called me up for dinner, I was like HAWLAH! But I enjoyed watching it though. ^^,
