About this converter
Scott Free lists an official theatrical runtime for every Scott feature, repeated by the BBFC in classification listings. The scale runs from the 117 minute Alien and Blade Runner pair to the 158 minute Napoleon. Sci-fi tales cluster near 125 while epics run longest. This table keeps twelve Scott theatrical features with credits included, as published by the studios and the BBFC. Other series entries stay out and the notes say which ones.
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 Napoleon against Alien to feel the 41 minute gap. Switch to hours for a friendlier reading of long films.
Runtimes count the full theatrical presentation including credits. Director's cuts that extend Blade Runner and Kingdom of Heaven stay out. Television edits that trim for broadcast are left out. One or two minutes of drift between sources reflects credit roll rounding. Napoleon at 158 tops the table, with American Gangster and Gucci tied at 157 next.
