150 minutes or more

With The Brutalist on the horizon and Interstellar re-releasing in IMAX, we’re living la dolce vita by celebrating the art of the long film. Whether you’re a wolf of Wall Street or a humble fiddler on the roof, go the extra green mile and make a Schindler’s list of your top movies (no miniseries!) with titanic runtimes of 150 minutes (2.5 happy hours) or more. Listen to the sound of music in your heart and select your favorite not-so-short cuts that bring the heat from Nashville to Dogville, that sweep you away, gone with the wind until the end of the world. These are the pictures that elicit a wondrous “That flew by!” in the cinema lobby afterwards: always good, never bad, sometimes ugly.
