movies that are a few minutes too long?
these are just movies that you think could have used a 10 minute trim that would have no impact on story.
AI, there were a few endings to the movie, and i could have been over 10 minutes earlier and it would have been the exact same
matrix reloaded. we could have cut the club scene and monica's kissing scene with Neo, and well you know.

Van Helsing...it's about 132 minutes too long. 
Seriously though, I could have done without the multiple endings on The Return of the King...they could have been saved for the Expanded Edition DVD.

I watched Calendar Girls with my fiancee and her mom on Sunday, and it was OK but if they cut out about a 1/2 hour of the melodrama it would have been a lot better. It seemed to get to a point and then just utterly drag on.

The fans would've rioted. The ending was perfect and did the book justice more than anything else in the rest of the films.

Also, Minority Report, if that movie ends 10 minutes earlier, without the last "twist" I'd hold it in much higher esteem.

In regards to the original header, Kill Bill Vol. 2 would have benefited from a few excised minutes, especially in the last act.
I always turn it off right before he meets his father.

i dont see how ten more minutes then you'd like to see in a film could bother anyone, unless something stupid happens in that ten minutes, but its just ten minutes, and if its ten minutes of nothing who cares as long as it doesnt hurt the movie.

I see we have a fundamental disagreement here that can never be resolved.

Also i think the ee's ending of rotk might be longer.

In RotK, the slow-mo shots of Frodo and Sam's faces that were shown over and over again could have been left on the cutting room floor. Once was enough - they became redundant and quite annoying.
Open Range could have had a few minutes cut from its ending.

Yea, wasn't the wedding scene about 45 minutes long? Easily could have cut it in half and wouldn't have missed anything.
