      - Yeah when I first watched in a theater it was gorgeous and well made especially in 3d - eag Apr 20, 10:29

I think Titanic is pretty tight overall -- while things could have been tightened a bit, I think the action kept Hour 2-3 moving. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:27 1
- Braveheart is close as well. Flags a bit in the 3rd hour, but it's close. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:28
I need a list to review and pick from -- nm - Epiphany Apr 20, 09:26 20

    - It just felt like it after the first half hour. -- nm - Ender Apr 20, 09:33 1
      - well, when you start off like it did, you can't possibly keep that pace up. -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 09:33
    - Fair point. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 09:32 1

    - I was not bored during it, but I hated every minute of it. -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 09:31 7
      - It's a movie I think you could have removed 45 minutes of and gotten the same reaction to the characters - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:32 6
        
        did you at least FF to see the scenes with Harley Quinn...you know, for research... -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 09:38
        
        I think you need that extra 45 minutes to really get how irredeemable they are. Like, you get it, but it still needs to be hammered home) -- nm - Roger More Apr 20, 09:37 4
        
        For me, it the movie equivalent of beating a dead horse -- and then giving the dead horse a cameo. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:54 2
        
        I can't think of another movie where by the end you hate everyone in it. - groiny Apr 20, 09:55 1
        
        like you need to splice it and the Departed, so you can headshot these assholes. -- nm - groiny Apr 20, 09:56
        
        by the end, I hated every single person in that movie. - groiny Apr 20, 09:38

Schindler's List? The Deer Hunter? -- nm - mara Apr 20, 09:25
I don't know what this means -- nm - decline Apr 20, 09:24 4
- I read it as: what three hour movies justify their length. -- nm - ty97 Apr 20, 09:25 3
  - hey can you do me a favor? - amanda jones state university Apr 20, 09:27 2
    - If I see it, will do -- nm - ty97 Apr 20, 09:33 1
