10 Great Movies That Are Under 90 Minutes

Don't have much time on your hands? Not to worry.

We€™ve all been in that situation where we€™re in the mood to watch a good flick but just not entirely sold on the idea of having to park ourselves in front of a screen for a long time. Sitting through critically acclaimed movies can sometimes be a chore, even if you do have the time. Luckily, there are plenty of great films that are worth watching and have very reasonable run times of only 90 minutes or less. 90 minutes is often considered the perfect length for a movie - just tell the story and don€™t waste the audience€™s time, plain and simple. It€™s storytelling 101. Get straight to the point, cut out the filler, and don€™t bore your audience. And this storytelling formula is certainly not just reserved for comedies and horrors. There are countless examples that prove this theory, but, of course, this €œrule€ has consistently been broken - several great movies take their time to tell their stories. Thankfully, the movies presented in the following list are very short. So if you€™re light on time and in the mood for a quickie, rather than a long saga, then you know what to watch next. Here are ten great movies that are under 90 minutes.
