Now it’s summer and lockdown has ended it’s a good time to snuggle up with a blanket and watch really long films in the evening ? No. Maybe for some, as long as they are not crap.

Apocalypse now

Paris Texas

Add you favourite long film....

3 hour miseryfest

I was prepared to suffer through three hours of the Irishman but it was OK actually. Wouldn't watch it again but worth seeing once.

Probably the last time Paccino, de Niro and Pescci will get the chance to work together again I think.

Definitely a slow burner. You just have to take in the vibe of the movie. That's where the enjoyment lies.

Cinema Paradiso, the long version I think is just short of 3 hours. Some fans of the film don’t like it due to where the story takes us (no spoilers) but I can happily enjoy the film for an extra hour.

It's one of those movies that requires a bit of thinking about. It's very much science beautifully interwoven with drama.

It's a geek's paradise.
