Long Movies: Popular movies like "Titanic" (3 hours 14 minutes) and the final "Lord of the Rings" movie (3 hours 21 minutes) demonstrate the trend towards longer runtimes. Factors: Several factors contribute to the trend of longer movies, including the rise of streaming platforms and the desire to showcase elaborate visual effects, says The Guardian.
