i adored the french made for television “the count of montecristo” with gerard depardieu in the lead role. six hours went flying by. “Decalogue” was most rewarding. “the best of youth” was very watchable.
Indian cinema got a big boost when mehboob khan made “Andaz” with Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Nargis. It was a trend breaker. The arrival of a few prominent New Theater Director’s from Calcutta helped Hindi Cinema tremendously. I liked Raj Kapoor’s “Sri 420”, my favorite hindi film will always be Bimal Roy’s “Devdas”, with impeccable performances by both Suchitra Sen and Dilip Kumar. B R Chopra’s “Naya Daur” was another excellent film of that era. After the 1962 guru dutt film “Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam” i have not seen anything interesting. I believe the golden age of Hindi Cinema (in particular) ended in the early sixties.
The longest movie you've ever sat through about 3 years ago

other films that come to mind are “before sunset”. “the story of adele H” will also fall into this category.
