LET’S WATCH A VIDEO TONIGHT (AND TOMORROW AND THE NEXT DAY)

If you’re suffering from insomnia I’ve found the perfect cure: the longest movie ever made, aptly titled “The Cure for Insomnia.” This is an 87-hour-long epic which features a poet reading his 5,000 page poem (also called “The Cure for Insomnia”) spliced with footage of heavy metal and some porn. But if that’s too long for you, try “The Longest Most Meaningful Movie in the World” which clocks in at 48 hours and consists entirely of newsreel and stock footage. Rounding out the top 5 list of insomnia-curing films are China’s “The Burning of the Red Lotus” (27 hours), Sweden’s “The Journey” (14.5 hours), and Russia “War and Peace” (8 hours). (MentalFloss.com)
