How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Paths of Glory against Spartacus to feel the 109 minute gap. Switch to hours for a friendlier reading of long films.
Runtimes count the full theatrical presentation including credits. Short films such as Day of the Fight are left out. The Shining figure is the 146 minute European cut commonly listed, with the longer US cut noted. One or two minutes of drift between sources reflects credit roll rounding. Spartacus at 197 tops the table, with Barry Lyndon next at 185. Paths of Glory at 88 is the shortest entry.
