I caught the last few minutes of A FAREWELL TO ARMS (1932) with GARY COOPER and HELEN HAYES on TCM today.  I could not believe how packed full of drippy melodrama and impossible-to-believe acting 5 minutes of cinema could be... at her deathbed.  He exclaims to an empty waiting room "She can't die!" meanwhile she utters to the hovering nurses and doctors "Don't tell him I'm going to die..." 'CAUSE SHE WANTS TO?    Then he's beside her, she plays strong,  and then she tells him "I'm going to die!" and then she's terrified to die... "I don't want to die! Don't let me go in the dark!"  Then she's accepting and enlightened... rolls her eyes and finally dies.  That is easily the longest 5 minutes I've ever sat through in a Hollywood movie. 

What are your 5 interminable minutes of cinema ?

the beginning of 2001, with the cavemen. it drives. me. NUTS!!

TCM just showed that again.  The more I look at it, the more I like it, though I agree that film has interminable moments.  I loathed it the first time I saw it.  A movie I call motionless.  Now this A FAREWELL TO ARMS had more words and acting in 5 minutes than 2001 has in the whole film! 

The opening number of La La Land.

 :bouncegiggle:

Several scenes in the otherwise excellent  movie "interstellar".

The musical sequence in Santa Claus (1959)

Any 5 minutes of the movie DUNE (1984). The movie is made up of 5-minute segments that each seem like 20 minutes.

:bouncegiggle:
I think I saw DUNE back in the video rental days.   :lookingup: 

Any given 5 minutes from WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
Holy Moly!  :buggedout:

On and on and on -when I'm that drunk, I fall asleep!

I think highly of that film... and when you're drinking, before you go to sleep, I think you might get as loud, verbose, out of control, angry, crazy, sad, and funny... perhaps I'm wrong.  What do you think?  

How about any 5 minutes of LARRY BUCHANAN's "IT'S ALIVE" ... yes, the quotes are part of the title.   Aye. :lookingup:
Talk about interminable...

The ill-advised remake of Master Harold and The Boys: I left after the film had been running for an hour, then I discovered that I'd only been sitting there for ten minutes.

Jaws 4. I snuck in underage to see that one.

Into The Woods. Best sleep I have ever had in a cinema.

I don't know what your talking about...!

You wouldn't even hurt a fly. 

I enjoy the documentary Why We Ride, but there are quite a few people that can't sit through the really long intro.

I love GRADUATION DAY, but the scene at the show where the band plays a song that seems to be called 'The Gangster Rock' and it goes on for over 8 minutes, pretty much uninterrupted. whole sections and verses being repeated. awful vocals too. it's tough...

One I had mercifully forgot about watching. You can pretty much pick any five minutes from it and hate on it. Highlander 2.

I just sat through The Creep Behind The Camera....
Talk about it's ups & downs...

Slaughterhouse Rulez. Neither a horror nor a comedy, but it did manage to be a disappointment.

Here's the whole thing.  Speed to the end: 1 hour and 23 minutes will give you the last 5 minutes.  I just watched it again, and to be fair, though it felt like 5 hours, it was more like 10 minutes I had watched and described...

The ending has some lieberlung or some horsenfeffer orchestral music and bride corpse of Frankenstein in hospital sheets carried to war has ended window... bells tolling.
