CHALLENGE 33: INTERMISSION

 

 

Settle in and get ready for the long haul. This week's challenge is all about the movies that keep us sitting still for a looong time. For this challenge, show us five movies (any format) that are each at least three hours long.

 

As an optional extra feature (as if this challenge weren't already long enough), tell us about a time you left a movie to use the bathroom or grab a snack, and when you returned you found that you'd missed something really important.

 

Thank you @ethnosax for bringing us CHALLENGE 33: INTERMISSION

 

Here's my submission:

1. World on a Wire (204 min)

2. Schindler's List (195 min)

3. The Wolf of Wall Street (180 min)

4. The Last Emperor (218 min, extended version)

5. The Godfather Part II (202 min)

 

[guri008]

nice challenge, @ethnosax

 

first of all (so i would not forget in the end...) - i have never fallen asleep in the cinema. at home? this is entirely different story 😄 but at home i am able to get back to the film the next day, right? 

 

and to the challenge. there are plenty of movies that are long but are between 2 hours 45 minutes and 3 hours long. so not good. when i checked some films, i found out one strange thing that might have negative effect on other psychos... wolf of wall street was shown the time 180 minutes. BUT when i put it to the player, the lenght was only 2:59:30!! this time should be rounded to 180 minutes (= 3 hours) but technically it is NOT longer than 3 hours. sorry to everybody 😄 

 

so i checked all films in my selection to check the correct lenght and i ended up with these: 

• zack snyders justice league - somehow my xbox refused to play disc 1 (and i watched it couple of months ago...) so i dont know the exact time, but it should be like 4:02:00
• jfk - 3:25:49
• hobbit 1 - 3:02:30
• hobbit 2 - 3:06:35
• bruce springsteen and the e street band - live in new york city - 3:14:12

While I applaud your commitment to this challenge by spending literally 15+ hours verifying your selections, I only have one thing to say to you regarding The Wolf of Wall Street...

Challenge 33

 

 

 

[Gary K]

Challenge 33

5 3+ Hour films.   
 

I’ve never taken a bathroom break during a long movie but almost did during the Irishman. 
 

[extantsrevenge]

Bowing to the few new submissions

 

Thanks @nerdist @guri008 @Catgirl @Gary K 😀

 

@guri008 tough stuff 😂

but I think we can go with the full 180 Minutes.

 

Today we will have a new challenge from @jwhitm3

[CAYENNE-FAHRER]

# 34

 

 

[javi]

challenge#33

 

 

 

1. Lawrence of Arabia

 

2. King Kong - Extended Version

 

3. Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King - Extended Version

 

4. Troy - Director's Cut

 

5. The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug - Extended Version

 

 

I've never missed anything from a movie, because of leaving unplanned.

When I left a movie, it was with the intention, to not watch it any further, in conclusion, I didn't missed anything important!

 

This didn't happened very often, because I always finished a movie, unless it was reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaly bad, like "Lola rennt..." f.e. - it was such a boring and bad movie. 😂🤦

 

But here is one thought, for leaving a movie to grab some snacks:

 

If you ever left a movie, because of grabbing snacks - well, this movie must have been pretty bad and quite boring, so anything you might have missed, wasn't worth seeing it in the first place. (for you!)

Well after much head and arse scratching challenge 33 intermission @ethnosax @extantsrevenge I hope my choices are fitting for this week's challenge 

 

I'm not even gonna try and put the run times as

 

A

 

have a feeling mine are going to be very common

 

AND 

 

B 

 

MORE IMPORTANTLY Too many numbers past my fingers and toes to deal with

 

 

LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY 

 

Other Than Mad Max THE GREATEST TRILOGY EVER , still a bain of mine

No matter what disk or technology a intermission is needed as no one can work out HOW THE stop using inappropriate language to put an entire movie on the one disk .

 

Schindler's List 

 

Heartbreaking and uplifting this should be shown in every school in every country everywhere. Then maybe the world could be a better place for us all.

 

The Watchmen Ultimate Cut

 

This is top 3 Super Hero movie any time or day of the week cracking soundtrack, infact cracking everything about it .

 

The Green Mile 

 

I didn't really see this as I was too busy crying my Bloody eyes out .

This and Toy Story 3 left me mentally and emotionally exhausted. No matter what I can not bring myself to re each .

 

WALK OUT ON SOMETHING I PAID FOR 

 

LADS I'M FROM DERBYSHIRE THAT'S NEXT TO  AND WE ARE TIGHTER THAN A DUCKS ARSE MONEY WISE

 

 

[jwhitm3]

So it seems you either have your own time-travel machine or you live in a totally different dimension... which would explain a lot.

[extantsrevenge]

Thank you @jwhitm3 for this great Challenge. I think we will see Terminator, BttF a few times so I choose the following movies:

 

- Blade Runner (1982) takes place in 2019

- Akira (1988) also takes place in 2019

- The Running Man (1987) take splace between 2017 and 2019

- The Road Warrior (1981) takes place at the end of the 80s

- 2001 A Space Odyssey (1968) takes place in 2001

- I Am Legend (2007) takes place in 2012

 

Seems that 2019 was a real popular year for to use in the 80s for the future. It is kinda strange that we reached it so fast and that most of the futuristic stuff we see in these movies did not happen.

 

I would have really liked flying cars (like the police car from Blade Runner), and I would also have loved to see space more developed like we saw in 2001. I mean it is over 20 years later now and we are not even close to what we could experience in this Sci-Fi Classic. Kinda depressing.

 

[Veum]

*sorry peeps those years have not happened yet! 😛  🙈 

 

 

 

Back to the basement 😂 😆

What is wrong with my entry as I followed the stipulations (I put the year the films released in and the year the films happened in! 🫤) @jwhitm3 @extantsrevenge? 🧐 

 

It has to be a date that we have passed up as in no longer the future

Hi @jwhitm3,

thanks for the new challenge.

My 3 choices are:

 

1. Hardware (1990), set in 2000

2. Escape from New York (1981) set in 1997

3. Blade Runner (1982) set in 2019

 

 

A cool gadget would be the Point of View Gun from Hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy. Would have saved me countless hours of debates with the missus😄
