Dancing With Wolves; I fell asleep 20 minutes in and didn't get woke up until the next group came in to see the next showing. I'll bet most millennials would say you've never been woke... :P

"Gettysburg". 'bout 4 1/2 hours. I really wanted to see this in the theater but in my area it came and went in about 2 weeks. I saw it several years later on dvd though.

In a brand new theater 10 days after release and I had the WHOLE THEATER to myself! The only way I would experience that where I live is if there was some kind of nuclear holocaust or zombie outbreak the day before.

Although it didn't beat the 1st LOTR for play time I do remember seeing Tora! Tora! Tora! in the 70's at the cinema. That was only 2hrs 25 mins. Also I saw BoB at the cinema at 2hr 15 mins.
I have seen longer movies but they don't fit with the rules of the thread.

Never seen Gone With the Wind. Frank, my dear, I don't give a fff… It would have been a better film had it had more war and less love story.

Never seen Gone With the Wind. Frank, my dear, I don't give a fff… Only seen it because my parents took us. I have not seen it again since in its entirety. Remember when you were kids and your parents say you are going to the movies and you get excited? You get there and it's Gone with the Wind which a grade school age kid will definitely not be interested in. I also remember my parents taking us to see Doctor Zhivago.

NoFlyBoy,my mum took me to see the Battle of Britain when I was just a nipper. Those were the sorts of films she was into,anything to do with war. She still watches BoB when it comes up on the TV,she must be word-perfect by now.

What I find so impressive about that film is that several of the actors from the cast are still very active in the business. Christopher Plummer Ian McShane Michael Caine James Cosmo Edward Fox

She still watches BoB when it comes up on the TV,she must be word-perfect by now. I'm guilty of quoting that superb film verbatim when 'flying' on the SAS server. Most often 'you could teach monkeys.....' "Boomps-a-daisy. It's enough to make you weep" aimed at myself after another hamfisted landing. Imagine my joy when a Polish bloke on Teamspeak came out with 'repeat please!" I remember walking by the Production office in Old Compton Street in London's Soho on my way to collect galley proofs from the Typesetter, nose to the glass looking at displayed still shots. Kept my enthusiasm to myself, not cool to like war in 1968 man!

I've said these lines so often while sim flying I'd almost forgot their origination, they're just part of my lexicon now!
