Popcorn Culture - Supercut: How Long Is Too Long, Anyway?

From the more than 21 hour runtime of Amra Ekta Cinema Banabo (purportedly the longest non-experimental feature film ever made) to the more common, but still challenging 4 hour duration for the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings films, many movies pose a challenge to film lovers. In essence: how long is too long? When does a film's runtime become a turn-off? When is it justified? In this Supercut, we get into it and talk about films (and shows) that felt like they dragged, and others that just flew by.
