What is the longest movie ever made and how long is it?!
Question: Is it worth seeing?
Answers: Is it worth seeing?
Various long movies have been made purely for the sake of being long, like the 85 hour Cure For Insomnia. Given that it's just made up of bits of poetry recitals, rock concerts and pornography, most people wouldn't class it as a real film.
Edgar Reitz' excellent 15 hour 40 minute film Heimat was made to be shown on TV in episodes, but it has been shown in marathon cinema screenings as has Rainer Werner Fassbinder's acclaimed Berlin Alexanderplatz (15 hour 20 mins). Reitz has made two sequels: Heimat 2 runs 25 1/2 hours, Heimat 3 a mere 12.
Other long films are Christine Edzard's 6 hour film of "Little Dorrit" (starring Derek Jacobi and Alec Guinness), ~Abel Gance's "Napoleon" (7 1/2 hours),~ Claude Lanzmann's 9 1/2 hour "Holocaust documentary"~ Shoah and Masaki Kobayashi's "The Human Condition" (10 hours). All the films mentioned here (apart from Cure For Insomnia) are supposed to be well worth seeing, but i dunno how good they actaully are!
The Cure for Insomnia
It's 5220 minutes long (87 hours)
I think the Titanic, or the God Father.
"Cure for Insomnia" is the longest film ever. It runs about 87 hours and features L.D. Groban reading a really looooong poem intersliced with pornography and music video footage.
Of all the films with actual storylines, the 1928 Chinese movie "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple" is the longest, clocking in at 27 hours.
As for the longest documentary, "Grandmother Martha" wins with a 24-hour running time.
Andy Warhol's film "Sleep" (1963) is 321 mins. long.
Movie title: The Cure for Insomnia
Director: John Henry Timmis IV
Country: USA
Length: 85 hours or 5220 minutes
Year: 1987
The Cure for Insomnia, it's approximately 85 hours long.
Aside from that, any movie that had to be put on 2 vhs tapes/dvds is quite long.
Clearly not /the longest/, but another long and (in my opinion) good movie is The 10th Kingdom.
It's 417 minutes long, just under 7 hours.
It's a book, was a mini tv series... but it aired at a bad time though, so it didn't do too well and isn't very well known :'(! And much to all the fans whom have watched and enjoyed it... we don't get a sequel. :'( </3
