7. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Duration: 201 minutes
Considering the length of each Lord of the Rings book, it’s to be expected that the movies would be long. The concluding episode of Peter Jackson’s epic fantasy trilogy is also the longest of the films and was awarded with 11 Oscars and $1 billion in box office earnings worldwide. Although the movie crosses the three-hour limit, the action and drama sequences don’t allow it to become boring at any point.
