Many complain about how long some modern films are, but nothing compares to the longest movie ever made, which would require three days in a theater.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although a common complaint of modern moviegoers and critics alike is the length of movies, that didn't stop one director from producing an 85-hour film. A compact runtime clocking in around 90 minutes used to be the norm, but now directors think nothing of movies approaching 150 minutes or longer if it makes sense for the story they're telling.
Unsurprisingly, the film is more of an experiment than an actual movie with a plot, characters and thoughtful direction. However, it is not a documentary and is intended to be viewed in its entirety, qualifying it as the longest running film ever made per Guinness World Records. To watch it start to finish required more than three days in the theater, and it was indeed showed in its entirety upon its debut in 1987.
1987's The Cure for Insomnia Holds The Record For The Longest Movie Ever Made Debuting on January 31st, 1987, The Cure for Insomnia is an experimental film directed by John Henry Timmis IV. It was originally shown at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and did run continuously from January 31st into February 3rd, as it clocked in at a mind-boggling 85 hours .
Why The Cure For Insomnia Is 85 Hours Long The Cure for Insomnia is not a "movie" in the traditional sense, in that its intended purpose is not for entertainment. The purpose for the movie is indicated by the title: it was designed to literally be a cure for insomnia, with its content intended to reprogram an insomniac's biological clock.
The film consists mainly of actor L.D. Groban reading his 4,080-page poem titled A Cure For Insomnia over the course of the runtime. It is periodically interrupted by spliced-in clips from heavy metal videos and pornographic materials, although the explanation for these inclusions also seems to have been lost to time.
