Just rewatched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at 2:58.....not a short movie! Lawrence of Arabia was so long they had an intermission in it when shown in theatres (immediately after the lengthy "trip through the Sahara" scenes...and everyone rushed to the counters for drinks!).
Always thought that too many movies are too long and needed cutting, but editor/director/producer/actor egos wouldn't allow for a better and more tightly-packed storyline.
