Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

Getting my annual Schlock-Tober Halloween horror marathonstarted a day early with an oldy but a goodie...

"The Last Man in Earth" (1964)
The great Vincent Price stars in this public-domain favorite as a scientist who is also the lone survivor of a worldwide plague that has turned the rest of humanity into vampire-like mutants who only come out at night. Filmed on the cheap in Italy, Price gives a bravura performance in what is essentially a one-man show for most of the movie.
Based on Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend, this flick was remade as The Omega Man in the 70s and again as I Am Legend with Will Smith in the 2000s.

71.) King Kong

2005. Naomi Watts and Jack Black star.

wow I would not have had that down as a 3 hour-er...

Theatrical release was 187 minutes. Director cut was around 200 minutes, give or take.

recap of rules:

yep... any movie whose official runtime is 180 minutes or longer.

so WOLF OF WALL STREET counts (as did the exactly 180 min INLAND EMPIRE).

not to go too deep but if a film officially hits the 180 minute mark then I guess the law of time itself states it must technically be 'over' that, cause precisely dead-on 180 minutes is not achievable (?)

75. THE WOLF OF WALL STREET

for the sake of argument let's say officially released directors' cuts qualify.

so yes , they count.

Hmm, looks like THE WOLF OF WALL STREET is exactly 3 hours long, so not OVER 3 hours.

I forget, did we say extended cuts are allowed?

Here's one we seem to have forgotten:

74. GRINDHOUSE (3 hours, 11 min.)

I believe the Extended Version of Dances with Wolves is on the list, so extended cuts should count. Gonna need it cause can't think of many more that aren't rare or something.

Grindhouse. Good call. Forgot about that.

I've always thought any film over 2 hours long really need to justify being so. like really really. time is a commodity.

btw PARSIFAL should've been #66, as EMPIRE was reposted.

next is #67

EDIT - ah no it shouldn't... I see Trevor  edited and corrected his previous posts numbers....

next is #68

I'm struggling to find any more!

I generally feel 1hr 45min to 2hr 15mins is a decent time for a good movie. 1hr 45min for a comedy/horror and 2hr 15min for a decent drama or action fluck.

Some exceptions can be made, of course. The Dark Knight was 2 and a half hour long. And I'm a fan of the MCU overall and Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame really needed to be 2.5-3 hours long. They had a great villain in Thanos, and they brought together so many characters from 20 or so different films, many of whom never met until the events in these two films.
