I sat through "Monster-a-Go-Go" on a bet. Now this?

In case you don't know, Greg (and others), " Jeanne Dielman, 23,
quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" was picked as the BEST MOVIE of
all time!
This is the ultimate case of The Emperor's New Clothes.

You win, Bruce. First of all, I've never heard of this cinematic
felony to which you refer but have now been officially forewarned.
Thank you for saving 3 hours & 22 minutes of my life.
However, I'd still rather watch "Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom"
while eating a big bowl of chocolate pudding than be forced to sit
through the first 30 minutes of "Chicago".

I think I have you all topped! In the 1970s I was a major
international film fan, and I traveled far and wide to see films
that would never play where I lived (no video yet, of course). An
example is that in 1981 or so I traveled to Los Angeles for a day
and a night to see the restored 1927 Napoleon with a full orchestra
(conducted by Coppola's father) and it was one of the best
experiences of my life.
So in 1983 a theater in Philadephia announced that they would show
the uncut 3 hour 22 minute Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce,
1080 Bruxelles I had read about this movie, and it sounded terrible,
but some critics had highly praised it, so I convinced a fellow film
buff to go with me.
"Grueling" is a good word to describe watching, but a better one
would be "excrutiating". But my friend kept saying, "Surely it will
get more interesting", so we stayed to the end, but it never did. If
I was told I had 3 hours and 22 minutes left to live, I would
choose to re-watch this movie, because then it would feel like years
had gone by!

"Grueling" might not be the word for the film itself, but the
experience certainly was.
It's 1968; I'm 13 and living in central Kansas. Forry Ackerman's
Famous Monsters magazine has fostered my infatuation with the great
Lon Chaney but I've never seen one of his films. Lo, the heavens
open and I learn that a local college will be running "Hunchback of
Notre Dame." My dad finally agrees to drop me off at the college
for the 8 pm showing and I'm to call him when it's over.
Unfortunately, they are showing an 8mm print on 400 foot reels using
a single projector. After every reel, they turn on the lights and
rewind before showing the next one. Naturally, old splices
periodically fail and the film breaks or burns multiple times. Each
incident requires immediate repair; lights on; another delay. The
Hunchback will take about 3 1/2 hours to run. Unfortunately, I
didn't get to see the finish.
You see, I didn't realize that "Hunchback" was to be the second
feature of the night ... after "Birth of a Nation." Dad showed up
around 1 in the morning, mad as a hornet that I hadn't called.
Well, the film wasn't over! The judge refused to let me off on that
technicality and it would be a couple more years before I saw the
rest of the film.

I just had to check a print of "A LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT."
It seemed to drag on forever. I like good character studies, but
this seemed to never end. The only good thing is that it was a
shorter version, the bad part is the collection has 2 more prints.
If I ever hear a fog horn I will go into a deep depression.
