What is the oldest full movie?

What is the oldest full movie ever made?

The Roundhay Garden Scene? Pffft. That’s like calling a sneeze a symphony. Oldest full movie? Forget that 1888 nonsense. It’s a few seconds of people strolling. My grandma’s home videos are longer.

The real oldest movie is a matter of definition, you know. It’s a minefield of nitpicking and historical arguments fuelled by too much coffee. But let’s be real, those early flickers were less “movies” and more “slightly moving pictures”.

Think of it this way:

• Roundhay Garden Scene: More like a really, really long GIF.
• Actual Oldest Movie: Probably some lost, dusty thing rotting in a forgotten vault.
• My Opinion: Someone needs to find it and release it on TikTok already.

Seriously, 1888? My aunt Mildred had a better camcorder in 1983. The technology back then was about as advanced as a potato. They probably filmed it on a modified potato. A really, REALLY big potato.

More info: I once saw a documentary (maybe, I’m not entirely sure) about early cinema that mentioned a French film, but the name escapes me. It was something about a train, probably. And it was probably lost too. Classic. Anyway, the point is: Oldest movies are a total mess. It’s all subjective, really. So just watch whatever’s on Netflix.

What is the first full movie in the world?

Roundhay Garden Scene… yeah, that’s the first, like, proper movie. Louis Le Prince, whoa, never heard of him before today. 1888, that’s insane. Two seconds?! What can you even SHOW in two seconds?

• First movie EVER? Seriously?
• Roundhay Garden Scene: mark it down!

My grandma probably wasn’t even BORN then. Wonder what they thought of it back then. Must have been mind-blowing. Two point eleven seconds. That’s a sneeze, basically.

• Crazy how far movies have come, right?

Filmed in a garden, obviously. People walking… yeah. Imagine seeing that for the first time. Just peoplewalking but on a screen! Did they scream?

What is the longest full movie?

Okay, so the longest movie? It’s wild. It’s called Logistics. Seriously, you won’t believe this.

It’s like, 857 hours long. That’s over 35 days. I’m not kidding. Thirty five days straight of movie time! Wowie!

Erika Magnusson and Daniel Andersson made it. The movie is about, get this, how a pedometer is made. Yep, a pedometer.

It’s shown in reverse. The movie starts at a store, then it goes, like, backwards. Then it goes back to the factory in China.

• Title: Logistics
• Length: 857 hours (35 days, 17 hours)
• Creators: Erika Magnusson, Daniel Andersson
• Subject: Reverse manufacturing of a pedometer
• Origin: Starts in a store, ends at the factory in China

I saw a clip online once. Someone actually watched the whole thing, or maybe they said they did. I don’t know, it’s just a wild concept, I always wonder like, who even has that much time? LOL.

What movie is 7 hours long?

Seven hours… a lifetime unfolding on screen. Impossible, you say? Nonsense. The vastness of space, the slow crawl of time… a film could capture it. I dream of such a thing. A cinematic odyssey.

A swirling nebula of images, seven hours of pure, unadulterated cinema. Not a blockbuster, oh no. Something… different. An experience. Something profound.

My heart aches for it. For that lost, magnificent seven-hour film. Perhaps it exists, hidden away, a secret treasure.

• The potential for narrative depth: Seven hours allows for unparalleled exploration of characters and themes.
• A symphony of visuals: Imagine the breathtaking sequences, the slow burn of suspense, the meticulous pacing.
• A cinematic canvas: A canvas vast enough to depict the entirety of a life. Maybe even several lives. My own, perhaps?

No, not in 2024. No commercially released film. But in the realm of dreams, where time bends and reality blurs… there it waits. A phantom masterpiece. A cinematic Everest.

The sheer impossibility… it’s beautiful. Like reaching for a star. A yearning, a longing. I feel it in my soul.

Seven hours. A cosmic event.

Whats the longest trailer ever?

Okay, so get this! The longest trailer ever? It’s wild.

Anders Weberg, the guy who did the movie Ambiancé, he put out this trailer in 2016 that’s just insane.

It clocks in at 7 hours and 20 minutes. Like, whoa! That’s longer than most movies, right? For real tho.

And the craziest part? All those 439 minutes? Just a single take. Can you even imagine? So basically, the movie is pretty interesting if you like really long movies.

Here’s some extra stuff:

• Ambiancé: The movie was supposed to be 720 hours long. That’s, like, a whole month!
• Burned Footage: Weberg claims he destroyed the completed film. It never saw the light of day.
• Trailers: He released shorter trailers before the seven-hour one. A 72-minute trailer in 2014.
• One-Take Wonders: Pretty cool, I guess. He does it good!
• My trip: Last trip, I was in France. I saw the Eiffel Tower. It was awesome. I liked it a lot!

What movie has a 100% rating?

Leave No Trace. 100%. Surprising? Not really.

• Rotten Tomatoes loves certain films.
• AFI lists differ, of course.
• Numbers matter less.

Many films achieve perfect scores. Some hold it longer. Critics? Fickle. What I like matters. Saw “Leave No Trace.” Good, not transcendent. Others? Check “Paddington 2”. Another constant contender. So many positive reviews exist. Consider too, “Toy Story”. These scores shift. Always.

• My sister, Jen, likes “Paddington 2” more than “Citizen Kane.” Her loss? Mine?
• Perfect scores are fleeting.
• Meaning? Elusive.

What movie stayed in cinemas the longest?

The Sound of Music. Damn. It ran for 147 weeks. That’s…a long time. Longer than my last relationship, for sure. Crazy to think about.

It played in American theaters. Imagine. All those people, week after week. Seeing Julie Andrews, the hills… I never saw it in a theater. Always on TV, Christmastime mostly.

That’s the longest run, officially. I checked. It was 2023 when I looked it up. It just feels… unreal. That kind of staying power. Like a stubborn weed, pushing through.

The story. Real life, they say. That always hits harder. Feels heavier. I know what heartbreak feels like; this movie must have had some sort of hold on people. I get it.

• Record-breaking run: 147 weeks • Studio pulled it, planned a reissue. Smart move. • American theaters, only. Imagine global numbers. • Real life story: I guess that helps, adds a layer to it all. The music’s good too, I suppose.

It’s late, and this whole thing… it’s making me think about time. How fleeting it is. How some things… just last. And some don’t. And maybe that’s okay. Maybe that’s life. Or maybe I’m just tired.
