guss Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I just saw the thread of the sadist, so why not the longest? I think its the 10th kingdom, or the seventh kingdom(I cant remember)... Your guesses (please no google searches). And it has to be worth watching... My pure's stats: str:70attc:35def:4range:72mage:70hp:70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blushenka Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 If you mean an actual movie, not a series or a...something else, then probably Return of the King, extended edition is 252 minutes.

1_man_army Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I think there is a film version of War & Peace that is very long. Found a link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_and_Pe ... 68_film%29 He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The first feature film ever made, The Birth of a Nation, was about 3 hours long. Pretty impressive considering 3 hours is regarded as a long movie today, and it was filmed with the most primitive equipment and methods. It was made in 1912 I think, or near that. Unfortunately it's about the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, and portrays them positively. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range_This11 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It's that civil war one. I want to say it's called Gettysburg. It has an intermission and everything. 4 hours and 20 minutes approximately. Lawrence of Arabia is about 3 and half hours.

I agree with the Return of the King "nomination." But its length does not degrade the film at all. Every second of the film was precious, in my opinion. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Found out Gettysburg is actually 261 minutes. We have a winner so far.

____ Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Cure for Insomnia - 87hrs ftw :lol: Excluding that I think the first non-miniseries / multiple part movie is probably "Out 1" which is around 12hrs long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magekillr Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Kill Bill is technically one movie, just split into two parts for theatrical purposes (and of course, you make more money haha). Not the longest, but it's really long. What is it? Like 250 minutes or summit? Edit: Just looked on Wikipedia, and it's 247 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
look_its_rob Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I just read in the newspaper today about the uncut version of war and peace being played at some theater in new Hampshire. It is 8 hours long Look its rob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 A lot of these movies being mentioned are all a bunch of series movies. Those do not count for run time. If you have to put in another disc or tape with a different title on it, it doesn't count to the total run time, it starts back at zero. Oh and I really don't think Cure For Insomnia should really count as a movie. It's more of spoken word anyways.

Kill Bill WAS one movie, but Tarantino split it into two parts because no one would want to sit through a 4 hour movie in a theater...I say that counts. The original was one movie, it was released in two pieces...I mean, it's not like it's the Matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurinEthir Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 If you want to count the three EE LotR movies as one, then you have like 11-12 hours. I've watched them back-to-back-to-back before... :wall: I never came close to falling asleep though, by far my favorite movies ever. :thumbsup: Anyway, if you want to look at them individually, RotK is the longest of the three, as stated, the EE is 252 minutes. Though I really doubt that's the longest. Also noted, Gettysburg...We watched segments of it in history this year, my teacher said it was way too long to watch the whole thing. I know he said it was over four hours, I don't know exactly how long though. One of these? Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

How2PK Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 The first feature film ever made, The Birth of a Nation Not true. Birth of a nation was made in 1915, by then already hundreds of feature films had been made. If you don't like the material 'Birth' deals with, try Griffiths Intolerance: Love's Struggle Through the Ages, which he had made in reaction on Birth. Broken Blossoms is also very good. Andy Warhol has made some really long movies. Empire runs about 500 minutes I think. War and Peace (the russian version is pretty long). A personal favorite of mine is Béla Tarr'sSátantangó. Clocking at 450 minutes. It's long, but I loved every minute of it. I doubt most of the users here will like it though. It's been released in the UK and you can get it for 16 pounds from play.com. Which is pretty cheap. Of course there is also Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz. Officiale it's a miniseries, but since last year it has been restored and it has played in cinemas. It clocks at 930 minutes. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that, I rented it from the video store, and it was all in one box, so I thought it was one! Nice Signature tripsis.

Yea, I thought of that also but had to discount it because of the miniseries factor; wasn't aware it had been restored and screened in cinemas though. Interesting gamble on their part; must've had a lot of faith in the public to play something outside the standard movie-maraton structure....

How2PK Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 The series has got hurdes of fans though. And generally it was showed in two or three evenings. Raymond Bernard's version of Les Misérables is also pretty long. Five hours and a bit, especially for a movie that old it is quite something.

Tom_Servo Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Gods and Generals. It's the prequel to Gettysburg and I think it is even longer, but I'm not sure. Edit: Nope, I looked it up and it's a whooping 20 or so minutes shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
