What is the ideal running time for a film and why is it 90 minutes even?

NAME. NOW.

180-210 minutes

>why is it 90 minutes even?
because 30 minutes is what you need for each of the 3 basic parts of a story

unironically the most informative Sup Forums has ever been

A surprisingly kino answer. Well done, sir.

Then why were "seven samurai" or "titanic" 3 hours long?

If you write a movie that follows the typical story structure but in which each act is 30 minutes exactly it's guaranteed to be a shit movie. First Act should really never be longer than it needs to, while the second act should be where most of the meat of the film is put.

Nah, I'd say 94 mins is perfect.

>"titanic"
>ideal

Are you fucking serious?

Everything james cameron does is perfect

say what you will about it, it was tremendously popular

150-180 minutes

white bitch. dime a dozen retard

Your mum's tremendously popular with my dick if you know what I mean.

90 min is perfect for comedy, most action and horror movies.
Epic dramas, historical and even some thriller and adventure movies need more running time for the story to develop though

they were more epic stories, so each part needed an hour

This.

Movie is based on a guy that killed someone in my flyover town

90 minutes unless it's a good film then an hour. shit films should stay at 90 minutes or less

You are going to need a lot more than a dime to bag one of those.

than 2 hours*

Literally my biggest sex fantasy is to smell a woman's asshole.

>He's never smelled a womans asshole

Fuck I gotta stop hanging out with you losers

Do you like your own smells?
>tfw I haven't eaten ass in almost four years
I'm a sicko though so I can handle the smell of a brapper

2.30

As long as the filmmakers want it to be. But there should be a fucking intermission if it runs past 90 minutes.

I really needed to piss during blade runner, and ended up missing some scenes while I was running to the bathrooms. Give us a fookin intermission.

>implying it isn't 5 hours

I prefer the length of a tv series because characters can be much more developed

There's just something so hot about it. I know that I'll never experience it but it's still a big fantasy.

DUDE WOMEN LMAO
DUDE SEX LMAO
DUDE FEMALE BODY LMAO XDDD

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

About 90 up till 100. The longer running time doesn’t generate circulation on each screen during the business hours. So those companies that run movie theater hates films running a lot longer unless it is soooo good that ppl come out to see it despite of waiting in line. Eeeeeeee ....
