2. Modern Times Forever
14,400 minutes (248 miles of film)
Modern Times Forever is number 2 on our list, almost topping the longest most meaningless movies in the world. A group of Danish artists used a Finnish building for this 2011 film. Helsinki’s annual contemporary art festival commissioned the film, a tongue-in-cheek depiction of how a major Finnish company’s headquarters building in Helsinki will deteriorate over the millennia to come. Stora Enso, a paper and packaging company with roots in a mining company over 700 years old, is an emblem of Finnish heritage and industry. The film depicting the building’s decay over time was projected onto the building itself for an extra shot of absurdity.
