What short movies seemed long the first time you watched them?

[Doctor Who?]

Are there any short movie that seem much longer then long movies like Lord of the Rings the first time you watched them?

For me it mostly happens with bad movie.

Superman 4(only 90 minutes but boy it felt longer then the 2 and a half hour Superman the movie)

The Happening(only 96 minutes long but seemed much longer)

Monster a go go(This one was only just over an hour and yet even riffed it felt long)

Yes, at 96 minutes Romero's Diary of the Dead felt like a coffee enema that wouldn't end.  I pulled an eye muscles just from the amount of times I rolled them in pure disgust.

I don't know how short the movie was...but it felt like it went on for DAYS!!!!

Cleopatra, The Ten Commandments, Lawrence of Arabia, and Dr Zhivago.

The Ten Commandments was short?!

My family used to watch it on Tv every Easter and it felt like it lasted all night.

When i was a kid I thought it must be two movies edited into one.

I'm pretty sure The Blair Witch Project is at least twelve hours long. And I was even rearranging my room when I was watching it. Imagine if I'd paid attention.

Yes...please someone explain what is so "wonderful" about Dr. Zhivago?  I've tried watching it twice just in case I was in a bad mood the first time....

It's okay but...

I have never seen it but as long as I can remember it has been one of my mom's most hated movies.

Also when i was a kid one of the PBS stations in my area used to play it non stop and it was being called one of the best films ever made.

I guess you can argue that it's kind of like Gone With The Wind in that - instead of going into the nuts and bolts of the politics and stuff of the Civil War - it shows how the War effected regular people.  Zhivago shows how people were effected by the Revolution.  But since these were mostly the people who were getting fat under the Czar....are we supposed to feel sorry for them?

So you're saying tragedy isn't tragic if you have money?

[bratpop]

People watch it thinking the title is Dr. Chicago, before realizing the movie they were actually thinking of is Dr. Detroit.

I'm saying that payback is a bitch.

I have to agree. I love David Lean but I hate Zhivago. Just can't get into the whole "adultery is the only way you can be happy" sappy mellodrama.

When I watched Dead Man's Chest in theaters it just seemed to go on forever. It's running time wasn't all that much longer than the first one I think, it just felt longer and more tedious for some reason.
