Either he's dead or my watch has stopped!

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 ?

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!

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

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.

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