Need epic, long, and boring movie suggestions

[Moab]

Can anyone suggest any movies that are like God's and Generals? I mean as in really slow, really really long, boring, and epic in scope.

What can you guys suggest for me?

Lawrence of Arabia fits the bill for us but we have already seen it.

What else is there?

Alexander fits that pretty well IMO. It is a long, boring movie about Alexander the Great.

Oooh - Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet is a perfect four-hour snooze fest!

Fixed.

Ben Hur (the version with Charlton Heston - actually a great movie)
Cleopatra
Anything with Kevin Costner

Damn you, I actually typed that out in the Quick Reply until I noticed you already said it.

Ooh - Cleopatra is a great choice, but I'll have to take exception on Dances With Wolves - I love that movie.

The Director's Cut of DWW, however, is almost four hours long and can make one squirm in the seat sometimes.

Das Boot
Dances with Wolves
Master & Commander
Glory
JFK
The Last of the Mohicans
Gangs of New York

Not to say these are bad or boring movies, but they ARE long.

 

[iroast]

War and Peace?

 

[brxndxn]

Last of the Mohicans
Gone with the Wind
Apocolypse Now

 

[BrokenVisage]

Amadeus, Amistad.

Lots of these movies are not boring, you are all just lameasses with short attention spans. I bet you're all gingers too.

 

[Jikininki]

why would you want to sit through a boring movie? isn't that unnecessary torture? sheesh.

and the only movie that came to mind when i saw "long, boring"...was Master and Commander, but I think someone already mentioned that.

Tora! Tora! Tora! comes to mind. Very boring until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

I thought Gandhi was fairly boring as well.

Well, if you think one of the 10 greatest movies of all time, Lawrence of Arabia, is boring, maybe another classic like Doctor Zhivago would suit your particular criteria.

dude! but the part with Gandhi up in the club with those dudes was great! Say what you will, but he could talk some trash when needed

Gettysburg ("sequel" to Gods and Generals)

 

[pontifex]

why do they need to be boring?
does it have to be based on something historical?

 

[Doboji]

The Thin Red Line.

 

[Doboji]

Apocalypse Now

Everybody should see Bridge on the River Kwai at least once.

I nearly walked out of the theater during this movie.

Thats my favorite kind of movie though, where they really take their time telling the story. Thin Red Line is one of my all-time favorites.

Gettysburg, A Bridge Too Far, and The Longest Day.
Not necessarily boring, but they are long.
