What are the SLOWEST movies you've ever seen?
>>
Logistics (2012)

Only God Forgives. Refn has an eye for cool visuals but he goes way overboard with the brooding characters just doing nothing for 10 minutes.
>>
something by Bela Tarr
>>
>>219774889
Legend of the Mountain, 30 minutes of story stretched out to over 3 hours

Fellowship of the Ring, easily. For an under two hour movie, Taxi Driver felt like it went on for a while too.

How many films have you seen? 4?

I think Stalker is the only film I've ever turned off because it was too slow

>>219774889
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

Goodbye, Dragon Inn
Also the best movie I saw.
>>
well mister burns had done it
the powerplant had won it
>>
It takes 10 minutes to get to the first "joke" in the Pink Panther (1963) but it's worth it
>>
Sleep has Her House. I win.
Honorable mention: It's Hard to Be a God
>>219779726
This is a good answer.
>>
Midsommar director's cut
>>
The Godfather
>>
>>219774889
Brown Bunny by Vincent Gallo.

The middle 45 minute is just a camera pointed out at the windshield of a car while you listen to whatever the fuck Vince put on the radio.

The only reason people watch Brown Bunny is because its made by the guy who made Buffalo 66 which is actually good.

I watched the directors cut recently, but it was the first time I’d ever watched the film, directors or theatrical. It took well over an hour for it to kick in, and it was trying my patience a bit.
>>
>>219775279
Yeah this, Satantango is really hard to beat in this.
>>
>>219780488
I haven't seen the theatrical at all.

If you want lots of slow motion (possibly too much), then
— Melancholia
is a candidate. Lars von Trier likes ultra-slow-motion. Willem Dafoe said that making Antichrist they had to use so much light for the slow-mo scenes he & CG were burning up lol.

— 2001: A Space Odyssey
takes its time.

Plenty of films are slow because nothing happens, e.g.
— Last Year At Marienbad

>Stalker
Yeah, sometimes we're just not in the mood for two-minute uninterrupted shots of running water.


>>219780359
>Midsommar director's cut
Most director's cuts are unwatchably ponderous. e.g. Amadeus is about 30 minutes longer. Loads of unnecessary crap (Mozart trying to teach some kid the piano with a bunch of barking dogs running round, etc).

Terminator 2 as well. Endless little exposition scenes showing the T1000 tracking down leads, doing its laundry, etc. etc. which kill the momentum totally. (Also the extended timeskip ending with Sarah becoming a member of Congress or something is lame.)


Makes you wonder how bad George Lucas's original (three hour?) cut of Star Wars was.

wasn't that more of a "special edition" cut than a real director's cut? Cameron was fairly straightforward about why the ending was cut to simply showing the road to the unknown with Sarah's voiceover, that he decided actually showing a peaceful future took away from the "no fate" theme

Roma was pretty glacial.

Jean Diellman. 3 hours of a woman internally seething about how boring her life is

Satantango, but it's a good slow
>>
whenever I think about "slowness" and people complaining about "boring" movies my mind always goes to the microfiche scene in the original Bladerunner and how much I love it. It's slow, but it's full of tension and building towards something. It saddens me a little that people don't get that. "Boring" is always the weakest argument to use for a film imo. While there are some that truly are, it's mostly used to describe things that aren't actually boring at all.

>>219782978
Now listen mister, you watch one of her movies RIGHT THIS INSTANT so that she can smugly lecture you!
