Should movies be longer? (Overall)

[Lautanen]

I think yes, or cheaper (overall).

Edit: Feel free to choose 2 if your not sure

100-120 minutes max. The best time movies can have. Nuff said.

That's... pretty pointless, really.

You're not even taking the movie genre as a factor. For example, comedy and action films surely are at their best up to the 120 minutes line, after that they may fall flat or boring to the general public. Drama movies, war movies, epic movies (like biblical, historic, fantasy, etc) have much more content, so it's best for them to be longer than 130 minutes (usually) so they do not feel rushed.

180 minutes is great for movies with complex plots, turning points, etc...
90 - 120 minutes is enough for most movies.
I don't like movies that take 60 minutes :/
That's way too short ;\

Keep to where they are now. I don't quite understand what you're trying to say here, though.

An eight hour long film (that shouldn't be watched in one, uh, "stroke?" .. in one take) would benefit from being split into three films, two hours long each.

Just discussing, dont be so harsh about "coolness" of topics. I want to know how much people's opinions differ. That's why there is a poll. Think neutrally before blaming.
Used translator. I wanted "colorful" options.

(Wising off)...

Same answer.

Ofc they are fine what's that, when I watch some Asian with Jackie Chan or now Jet Lee since the former is old for such, or Sci fi my favorite, or some other whether comedy or else 1.5 to 3 hours is more than enough... what watching 5 hours ?
