 | Gone with the Wind (70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $51.99 / Used from: $53.85 At almost 4 hours long, this is the granddaddy of all long movies. If you can make it through this one, you can make through anything.

|
 | The Godfather - The Coppola Restoration Giftset DVD
Buy new: $31.99 / Used from: $23.98 "The Godfather" of all Mafia movies is nearly 3 hours long. If you think that's long, check out the sequel...
|
 | The Godfather Part II - The Coppola Restoration
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $10.98 Francis Ford Coppola could have easily made this into two separate full-length films - one about Vito Corleone growing up and getting into the Mob, and another about his son's fall from grace. Instead, you get one big honkin' movie!
|
 | Titanic (10th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $6.39 A big ship deserves a big movie. However, James Cameron's direction keeps it moving along at a fast pace so you'll hardly notice it's over 3 hours long.
|
 | The Ten Commandments (50th Anniversary Collection)
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $16.49 At over 3 1/2 hours long, your butt will start to feel numb by the time the Red Sea is parted. But wait, there's more! Moses hasn't even gotten the Ten Commandments yet!

 | The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition)

|
 | King Kong - Extended Cut (Three-Disc Deluxe Edition)
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $3.88 Peter Jackson sure loves long movies. He even managed to make the 1933 classic twice as long!
|
 | Fiddler on the Roof (2-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $25.99 / Used from: $20.01 I think this is actually longer than the stage version, which it pretty much stays true to. You can save some time by fast-forwarding through the long opening credits.
