I'm pretty sure this was released in theaters in the US. Many movie goers were ticked off at having watched the Empire State building motionless for unending hours.

Might want to stipulate that it has to be a movie people actually want to see. Not the one with the guy just sleeping and such...

Or at least in the last 30 years. heh.

What about The Stand? That was pretty long.

I think Warhol had a 24 hour long film about cowboys.

In saw Gettysburg in the theater with the intermission. It felt like we had stepped into the wayback machine!

Had a ten minute intermission it was so fooking long.

WTF? It's longer than LOTR:ROTK? Even extended edition? Wow, it surely didn't feel long. I have it somewhere in my DVD binder.

Dances with wolves seemed like 4 hrs

 

[antyler]

The Good Shepherd was unbearably long.

It would probably be "Empire"
--Andy Warhol's 8+ hour shot of the Empire State Building

Or that 8 hour romp about the Holocaust...I forget the title

It was released, and recently re-released. Museums will show it from to time.

Titanic and LotR were the longest I actually saw in the theater. I saw Dances with Wolves on TV, it was pretty freakin long.
