20 Best Movies Over Three Hours Long

20. RRR (2020)

Runtime: 3 hours, 3 minutes

Back in 2022, Indian action-drama RRR took the world by storm. It wasn't just a hit in India, where it quickly became one of the country's highest grossing films, but also in the west, too, where audiences flocked to it in droves when it debuted over on Netflix.

Returning to it after its historic run, which also saw it become the first Indian film to win an Oscar, it's easy to see why RRR was such a hit. A fictionalised story of two revolutionaries and their fight against the British Empire, the film employs a deliriously over-the-top execution to tell its otherwise powerful story of resistance against colonialism.

With extravagant musical numbers, wild action sequences and sweeping set pieces, the wonderfully outrageous experience spends its three-hour run hitting audiences with one audacious risk after the other - its fiery tiger fights and bromance montage come to mind - and it never runs out of steam.

Its runtime zips by, and for a film over 180 minutes long, that sure is a feat to admire. What a ride.
