22 Movies That Are Way Too Long

Not to get all Boomer on you, but movies are long as hell these days. Even a stupid comedy is likely to take you well beyond the 90-minute mark where it should have died, and if it’s an “important” movie, you’d better pack a lunch and a diaper change because even the earliest matinee isn’t letting out until dark.

That’s not always a bad thing. Sometimes, a movie just has a lot to say, and it needs a lot of time to say it. Are you really going to tell Martin Scorsese how much time is sufficient for him to tell his story? If so, can you learn to mimic our voices and make some uncomfortable phone calls to our relatives, seeing as you’re missing the fear and shame genes?

But not every movie is a masterpiece that demands a three-hour slow burn. A lot of them could be way, way less movie, so when user fire-lord-momo asked r/AskReddit, “What film made you say, ‘Holy shit, there is still 50 minutes left’?” a surprising number of Redditors had said those exact words.
