If it wasn't, it sure felt longer... LOL Yeah, the movie was a real snoozer for me too. I just looked it up and the movie was 170 minutes long.

Another LOTR movie here,but the first one The Fellowship of the Ring.
My girlfriend said we should see it (insisted in fact) and as it started I thought 'what the f is this $hit'?
I remember looking at my watch about 20 minutes from the end and thinking how are they going to draw this to a conclusion? Then she told me that this was the first of a trilogy. I genuinely didn't realise that as fantasy films were not of interest to me and I didn't follow them.
I've never seen the other 2 and probably never will.

Another LOTR movie here...and as it started I thought 'what the f is this $hit'? Same here, also with Harry Potter (although neither in a theater). Just can't do it. I've seen less than a dozen newer theater movies since 1990, I'd say "Titanic" (195 min. / 3 hrs. 15 min.).

The Right Stuff, 3 hrs 13 minutes. Pretty sure that's gotta be the winner. Well worth it!

For me I'm pretty sure it is "LOTR: The Return of the King" with a run time of 201 minutes. I'm just asking since I recently read a pretty interesting article about how the 3+ hour theatrical release might soon be a thing of the past due to declining attendance and stiff competition from the streaming services. Oh god! the interminable ending,with me busting for a wee after one of those overlarge Colas and being in the middle of a row didn't want to disturb the other viewers. I wasn't aware of the viewing length of 'Schindler's List', so rivetted was I watching it. Longest film I watched was some Yoko Ono all-night bollocks in my pretentious quasi-intellectual youth in 1969 in the 'Electric Cinema' down Portobello Road, the hub of English Hippiedom counter-culture in 1969. Longest-seeming film: 'Inception', during which I nearly lost the will to live,

Wasn’t there a full length re-release of Das Boot some years ago? I don’t think there’s much I’d sit for 15 hrs for, you can have that one Ssnake. LOL
