** SHOAH (1985, 9 hours and thirty minutes) Thismay be the greatest film made about the Holocaust.

** WAR & PEACE (1968, 6 hours and 13 minutes) Won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1968.

** LITTLE DORRITT (1988, 6 hours) An overly long film of the Dicken's classic.

** SLEEP (1963, 6 hours) The film that brought Andy Warhol to prominence.

** THE MEMORY OF JUSTICE (1976, 4 hours, 38 minutes) From Marcel Ophuls, an exquisite social commentary about how countries judge their own morality.

** THE SORROW AND THE PITY (1976, 4 hours and 20 minutes) Ophuls' defining film about the French response during World War II.

** LUDWIG (1972, 4 hours, 6 minutes) The film focuses on the Mad King of Bavaria. Stay away.
