10 Amazing Movies Over Three Hours Long

6. The Wolf Of Wall Street

Runtime: 3 hours

Just squeezing in at the three-hour mark, Martin Scorsese's 2013 biopic is that rare epic that doesn't feel long while you're watching it.

The Wolf Of Wall Street is crafted with such a fast-paced energy and a whip-smart sense of humour that its runtime will easily zip by, and it's one of those movies you can just put on at any time and enjoy. That's not something you often hear about a 180-minute movie.

That's a testament to Scorsese's skill behind the camera, as well as Leonardo DiCaprio's in front of it. The director keeps his story flowing with no lag whatsoever, and his leading man relishes in the profound insanity of his character's illegal shenanigans, so much so that you can literally feel the actor enjoying every minute.

And that makes it easy for us to enjoy ourselves along with him.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
