10 Amazing Movies Under 90 Minutes Long
1. Fruitvale Station
Runtime: 85 minutes
The first collaboration between director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan (Creed and Black Panther would follow), Fruitvale Station is a powerful drama that explores the death of Oscar Grant, a real-life African-American man who was shot at the titular station on New Year's Day 2009.
This could easily have been a shlocky, melodramatic movie that milked sad real life events to emotionally stimulate the viewer, but brilliantly, Coogler didn't design Fruitvale Station in this way. We all know how this story ends so the characters and events do the talking, and there's tension and resonant emotion inherent to the situation.
Fruitvale Station isn't an easy watch like the other films on this list, but after watching Black Panther and Creed, revisiting the first movie from one of the great modern cinematic duos makes it feel even more special - like paying a visit to an old friend. And, you'll get a taut, confidently-directed movie to boot.
