I sat through "28 Days" starring Sandra Bullock, although I swear it felt Like I was sitting there for thirty days.

Seriously, most of the long films I have seen in theaters are around the three hour range, but in college I remember seeing a cut of the old silent film "Greed" that was close to four.

Schindler's List. I think it's about four hours. One day my car was being repaired, and the mechanic said, "It'll be about four hours," so I walked across the street to a theater and saw "Schindler's List."

The longest movie I ever recall watching was Kenneth Branaugh's version of Hamlet which was 4 hours and 5 minutes long. Also Godfather 1, 2, Titanic, and The 10 Commandments would round out my top 5. I tried watching Jesus of Nazareth once, which was over 6 hours, but I couldn't sit through it.

Oh, I thought of some more when I read The Ten Commandments, Sparticus, Cleopatra, and Ben Hur.

Stephan King's The Stand it's about 6 hours or so. It is a tv movie but I bought the DVD.

The first couple of hours, which is mostly about Mary, is kind of boring, but it really picks up after that and the rest of the miniseries is fascinating. Robert Powell was outstanding as Jesus.

I only watched the first hour or so, and was definitely bored out of my mind. I just figured the whole movie was going to be like that. I have the whole thing on tape, so I'll try watching it again sometime. It'll probably take me a few days, but I'll get through it.

I'm guessing I haven't seen any movie longer than Ben-Hur--the 1959 one of course.

Back when I was not yet a Harry Potter fan my friend Stacie paid for me to go see "The Sorceror's Stone" with her, and I swear, I felt like I was there for years. So, yeah, basically any movie that sucks seems like it's days long.
