How to survive painfully long films

Thursday's show was about the most boring film, or the one that seemed longest (150 hours long, Cinematon is being shown at the moment in France - the longest movie ever made).

Lord of the Rings, Da Vinci Code, Road to Perdition, the infamous The Brown Bunny - all were mentioned. But I loved this from Duncan Maclean of the Skye Film Club. A bar and two meals?

A few years ago in Sleat, Skye we screened the 1956 version of War and Peace in our local film club. The film was over 7 hours long and was only the second time it had ever been seen in Scotland. We started at 5pm, stopped three times for a bar and two meals and finished after 2am. It might not have been too boring, but you came out feeling like the end of a long-distance flight.
