Most shows are 30mins which is easier to hold people's attention as everything is on such a small time frame. Some films take about half an hour into it before some plots take off or gets interesting. |

Cinema Paradiso has a long version and a shorter one. I prefer the long version as I adore that film. However I wouldn’t make the same commitment for a lot of modern Hollywood stuff.
RRR on Netflix has a running time of 3 hours 5 min, heard it’s really good, as it’s a Hindi film, I’ll give it a watch. |

"Series are easy to break down, and you can take a break in between episodes should you choose.
A 3/4 hour movie you can’t, and it’s frustrating "
You can easily do this by taking a break at the end of the first act, half way point, start of the third act.
But no, I'm the opposite if a film is too short I often assume it'll be crap and will find a longer film instead. |

"The longest 3 hours of my life was spent watching Tess when I was doing my O level English literature.
Even now I am still trying to recover those hours"
How could you not enjoy watching a young Nastassja Kinski. |

The cinema release of Das Boot is just short of 4 hours if I remember correctly (think there’s about 4 different versions floating round)- it’s worth investing your time in- dim the lights, turn the heating down for that submarine experience, sit back and immerse yourself in one of the best things ever committed to celluloid  |

with an episode you only need to commit to one, but then enjoy it and end up watching more of them.
