Longest movies that take place in real time?
For some reason I feel as if these types of movies top out at around 90 minutes, but I'm wondering if there are some other examples.

16 Blocks looks to have run 116 minutes.
The Romanian movie The Death of Mr Lazarescu has a listed run-time of 153 minutes.

I think I won the thread. But I feel like I cheated.

Also, they had to change reels on the camera, so there's gaps of time missing from the finished film.

Certainly not the longest, but one of the better real-time one-shot films is Running Time, which is 70 minutes long:

Wikipedia has a list of real time films, but doesn't seem very exact (it lists Clue as one example):

There's also a list of films with the longest running times. The third place finisher on the list, The Cure for Insomnia, is 87 hours of an artist reading a 4,080 page poem.
