One of the longest movies ever made was "Gone with the Wind" --- 222 minutes If you know of a longer one, submit your guess to net.movies; each guess should include: title, running time ( original and released ), and your source. C. Turner -- The Collector

Wasn't Reds something like 4 hours? I didn't see it, but I heard the moans from
some of my friends who did. Apparently movie seats weren't made to be sat in
that long (actually they weren't made to be sat in at all).

REFERENCES: <151@iwu1b.UUCP>, <1476@ukma.UUCP> Someone suggests that REDS was 4 hours long. No, it was 200 minutes, according to Maltin. That makes it 22 minutes shorter than LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!ahutb!leeper

What about Abel Gance' La Roue at 32 reels? I came across that one when looking up the running time of Napoleon -- the original was 17 reels but I've no idea how long Kevin Brownlow's reconstructed version is. -- Marcus Hand (hou5h!mgh)

My German is pretty sketchy, but I gathered from the credits this this "epic film" was actually a television miniseries which was glued together for distribution in American movie houses. Anybody know more about this? Thanks.

"Berlin Alexanderplatz" was made as a TV series. I think "Victory at Sea" was, too. "Heimat" was made for theatrical release, though it was not intended to be seen in one sitting. -- Peter Reiher reiher@ucla-cs.arpa {...ihnp4,ucbvax,sdcrdcf}!ucla-cs!reiher

Didn't Andy Warhol make a 24-hour movie of the Empire State Building?
The camera was still; the action consisted of the lights going on
and off in their normal pattern. He had some philosophy about
"boredom as a medium for artistic expression". He also did a 8-hour
movie of a person sleeping.
