About this converter
Studios list an official theatrical runtime for every Paul Thomas Anderson feature, repeated by the BBFC in classification listings. The scale runs from the 90 minute Punch-Drunk Love to the 188 minute Magnolia. Ensemble tales cluster longest while romances stay lean. This table keeps nine theatrical features with credits included, as published by the studios and the BBFC.

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 Punch-Drunk Love against Magnolia to feel the 98 minute gap. Switch to hours for a friendlier reading of long films.
Runtimes count the full theatrical presentation including credits. Music videos and short films are left out. The Magnolia figure is the 188 minute theatrical cut. One or two minutes of drift between sources reflects credit roll rounding. Magnolia at 188 tops the table, with Blood next at 158. Punch-Drunk Love at 90 is the shortest by a wide margin. Licorice Pizza at 133 closes the set.
