extended versions
number ten Cleopatra all hail Cleopatra
kindred of Horus and rah beloved of the
Moon and Sun dotted to Isis and of Upper
and Lower Egypt queen this epic drama
may have received mixed reviews but with
a budget that big and four Academy Award
wins it’s hard to ignore Cleopatra you
will kneel I will what on your knees
Elizabeth Taylor Richard Burton and Rex
Harrison’s performances have all been
singled out but then there’s its running
time of four hours and eight minutes it
was not disappoint the mighty Caesar it
was 1963 s highest-grossing film
everything to be paid for my coin and
despite some inaccuracies it is
considered a fairly close look at
ancient Egypt during the time of the
last act of Pharaoh so we guessed the
length was necessary everything that I
should ever want to hold or look upon no
have or be is here now with you it’s not
be sorry for myself
number nine Ben Hur
ben-hur dominated the oscars following
its 1959 release if I cannot persuade
them that does not mean I would help you

drama Charlton Heston stars as a rich
Jewish prince during the time of Jesus
who has turned into a slave by the
Romans may God grant me vengeance I will
pray that you live till I return years
pass and then then her is after his
former childhood friend who turned
against him this is the day Judith it’s
between us now yes this is the day the
William Wyler directed film is also
known for the scene showcasing a nine
minute long chariot race as well as its
lengthy but fitting score lady
all of which serves to fill this
epically long film with so much
excitement it seems much shorter than
its 212 minutes you may conquer the land
may slaughter the people but that is not
the end we will rise again both justice
number eight the Lord of the Rings The
Return of the King the conclusion to
Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings
trilogy is epic fantasy at its absolute
best at least that’s what an
overwhelming amount of critics and
moviegoers seem to think shut now you
must die after all The Return of the
King earned 11 Oscar statues and 1
billion dollars in box office receipts
around the world
don’t go work following hobbits Frodo
and Sam with the One Ring as well as
Gandalf Aragorn and more as they battle
Sauron the film is 201 minutes of
incredible effects emotional
storytelling and so much more an hour
wolf and shattered shields when the age
of men comes crashing down but it is not
this man this day we fight number 7
giant are you in love with him yes I
think so
with a running time of 201 minutes giant
earned its director an Academy Award
but James Dean didn’t even live to see
the final product a car crash took his
life when he was just 24 it’s here and I
mean a dang thing you gonna do about it
following the tale of a Texas ranching
family the drama is a multi-faceted and
visually stunning one that tackles
social political and racial issues with
death today it remains a classic of
American cinema and further cemented
Dean status as a cultural icon teach it
I like you
like you to number six the ten
commandments I am here if you’re looking
for a religious epic that won’t
disappoint then the Ten Commandments is
a safe bet adapting the biblical story
of Moses on to film the Cecil B DeMille
production is three hours and 40 minutes
of pure entertainment with versatile
performances you shall see darkness
cover Egypt when the Sun climbs high to
know and you shall know that God is God
and bow down to his will
extravagant excessive and bold the
oscar-winning film was also one of the
highest-grossing flicks of the 1950’s n
dimille’s last work before his death
400 years is long enough you’ve been
sitting down and laying down and bowing
down for 400 years I think it’s time to
stand up
number 5 Malcolm X you’re not an
American you’re an African who happens
to be in America put a screenplay
co-written by Spike Lee based on the
life of Malcolm X together with an
oscar-nominated performance by Denzel
Washington and what do you get you don’t
have to do this read read really dumb an
incredibly poignant biographical drama
also directed by Lee which brings to
life the most crucial moments in this
african-american activists time on earth
the only bull Elijah Muhammad teaches us
that the white man is a devil
sure amid some in Marla well received by
critics and finishing third at the box
office during its opening weekend
Malcolm X definitely had people riveted
for all of its three plus hours because
the mother is the first teacher of the
child the message that she gives that
child the child gives to the world so we
have to be very careful number four
Hamlet something is rotten in a state of
Denmark don’t mess with director Kenneth
Branagh especially when it has to do
with Shakespeare to be or not to be that
is the question of all the bard
adaptations he’s done in his career none
has surpassed this four hour and two
minute drama date indeed says but this
troubles me
directed by Brenna and starring him in
the title role this feat of a movie
includes every single scene from
Shakespeare’s original version mad mad
most foul as in the best it is but this
most foul strange about dedication
despite being set in the 19th century
brana’s Hamlet is well known as one of
the most faithful Shakespeare
adaptations in history he lets me go and
with his head over his shoulder turned
he seemed to find his way without his
eyes for outer doors he went without
their help and to the last then did
their light on me say you’re going to
marry me say yes say yes yes
number three Gone with the Wind battled
Edie when this epic historical drama was
first released in theaters it was
screened with an overture intermission
musical pause and exit music

and 238 minutes after all
but the film’s actual length is closer
to 221 minutes
frankly my dear I don’t give a damn
regardless of the exact number Gone with
the Wind
110 Oscars and earned much critical
praise God I would never perhaps the
secret to its success can be found in
the central quartet of characters
headstrong Scarlett O’Hara charming
Rhett Butler so you are no gentleman and
you miss are no lady I don’t think that
I hold that against you and the less
colorful but equally complex Ashley
Wilkes and Melanie Hamilton complete a
tangled romantic foursome thrown
together and cast apart by chance
destiny and the fortunes of war
kiss me
