I thought "Yukon" would be hard to match, but apparently there is a long-running series of Mountie movies from the 40s with "Yukon" in the title.

I've found that with books people tend to praise longer ones just because of the effort it takes to get through them. Maybe you get the same thing with movies.

Just for the heck of it, I thought I'd research running times of all movies that have won the Oscar for 'Best Picture'.

As I kind of suspected, longer running time = better... apparently.

In fact since its inception in the 1920s, there has never been a sub 90-minute Best Picture winner

Only two 'Best Picture' winners have a running time in the 90 minute bracket: ANNIE HALL (93 mins) and DRIVING MISS DAISY (99 mins)

 over 2 hours seems the norm.

What is it about longer films, because I don't think anyone associated with the Oscars would ever try and argue that quantity = quality?

Quote from: M.10rda on August 30, 2026, 06:47:47 PMI know lots of people who would furiously contest that Pollock's painting is Art. What is Art???

one answer would be 'art is what somebody who is agreed to be an artist calls art'. That is what Marcel Duchamp was trying to lampoon with his urinal. 'society reveres me as an artist, therefore if I put my name on an urinal and put it in gallery, it becomes art eo ipso'
