Movies should be shorter, and less boring
Photo: Bettmann Archive The best web page I’ve found recently, which I will bestow upon you now, is this IMDb guide to “Best Movies Less Than 100 Minutes Running Time.” This will be the list I turn to when I am in the mood to watch something but not in the mood to commit to what feels like half my life to a movie that probably isn’t even that good. Movies are getting longer, but they are not getting better, and I have had enough.
A lot of my issue here has to do with movie theaters, I’ll admit. Even at my favorite theater in New York, where the seats recline and almost nobody is there , somebody is always yapping, or checking their phone, or eating seaweed chips too loud. It’s hard to be trapped in a room where you’re meant to be quiet for more than two hours at a time. I mean, I can manage, but for others, it’s evidently impossible. And when you get above the 2.5 hour mark? Forget it. People start getting up to pee.
But consider this. Here are some of the movies on the IMDb list of movies under 100 minutes: 12 Angry Men. Stand By Me. Monsters, Inc. Mean Girls. Office Space. All great movies! The original Toy Story was 81 minutes long. The latest Toy Story is 100 minutes long. This is not progress.
