Your ideal length of a film

lol @ godard convergence

His Girl Friday is 92

10. Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2

ok you are not savages

but you're still wrong :D

I probably would have voted 90-110, but definitely would have voted 80-100.

would have voted 100-120 but can perfectly understand a vote for 80-100 - the number of A++ movies that fall between 90 and 100 minutes is frankly huge

One of Fantastic Mr Fos's many virtues was its 80 minute length. More, please!

Pickpocket, L'argent, Mouchette, Lancelot du lac, Los olvidados, Viridiana, L'atalante, Umberto D., Sullivan's Travels, Palm Beach Story, 39 Steps, Cabinet of Dr. Calgari, Lift to the Scaffold, Pickup on South Street, Show Me Love, Lady From Shanghai, Battleship Potemkin all purty good

ok there is no doubting there are classics in the 70-90 range, but what I am saying is that there are enormously more in higher ranges

however, i guess the question is 'how long would you most often like a film to be' so all 25 of you just like films to be shorter maybe

There's some perfect 3-hour films but they're just gonna sit in my stack at home getting resented for weeks before i get to them. i checked out Petrified Forest last week - that little "82 minutes" on the back cover makes my face look like i'm about to tap some ass.

Novels should be within 50 pages/however many words that is of The Great Gatsby, btw.
