About this converter
Logistics runs 51,420 minutes, over three times Modern Times Forever at 14,400. Beijing 2003 at 9,000, Cure for Insomnia at 5,220 and Longest Most Meaningless at 2,880 follow. Berlin Alexanderplatz at 931, Out 1 at 773, Human Condition at 574 and Shoah at 566 cluster under 16 hours. Kelly Gang at about 70 is the 1906 first feature kept only for scale. Runtimes count full cuts with credits. Experimental realtime works tower over narrative features, which is why the table splits that way.
How to use it
Pick two films and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Logistics against Shoah to see the 90 times gap. The bars below use a log scale since max runs over 700 times min, so small bars stay visible. Switch the unit to hours for short figures. Ratios are exact divisions of the runtimes.
Human Condition at 574 ranks above Shoah at 566 despite draft table quirks. Kelly Gang about 70 is fragmentary since reels are lost, and is kept only for scale. Logistics 857 hours needs five weeks of round the clock viewing. Figures follow release specs. Director's cuts add minutes, so full cuts rank here.
