I have a 7 hour long train ride tomorrow. Movie suggestions?

So I'm going on a 7 hour long train ride tomorrow and since I never manage to sleep while sitting I like to pass the time by watching some movies. Any suggestions? I enjoy pretty much every genre and it doesn't matter if it was released this year or in 1940, though I'd prefer newer movies.

Metropolis would take up a good amount of time. I think they just re-released a more complete version.

Serenity was neat.

In Bruges

I saw Take Shelter the other day, it's really good!

Weird, I just saw that movie and came in here to recommend that. Michael Shannon is amazing, he's seriously one of my favorite actors now.

Have you seen The Iceman? Shannon is great in that too.

Stuff that's more recent?

Michael Shannon double feature

Take Shelter (2011)and The Iceman (2012), Winona Ryder is in The Iceman. Cool hitman movie based on a real dude, I have a soft spot for Lydia.

Kings of Summer, (2013) Good little coming of age film with Ron Swanson...er Nick Offerman

The Way, Way Back (2013) Steve Carell and Sam Rockwell, same writers from The Descendants. So it's that sort of vibe.

If you haven't seen The Descendants. (2011)..watch that too.

Ruby Sparks (2012) You like Paul Dano right?

Darjeeling Limited (2007) You're on a train, wes anderson made this train movie

You might wanna space out Take Shelter and The Iceman, they're kinda downers on your train ride. Like Watch Take Shelter then The Way Way Back and then The Iceman then Kings of Summer, then you should be done with your train ride.

yes, michael shannon ftmfw.

at least until the ending, unless the theory i have holds up.

i might also recommend the PS4 live stream :) (though i guess that's only on twitch for the moment)

Birdemic. Watch it with the rifftrax- you can actually download the live riff from them which is great. Very funny riff.

Django Unchained. Just 'cus Quentin Tarantino is always fun.

Wreck it Ralph is a Disney movie about video games. So, that's kinda cool.

That's somewhere around 7 hours.

The movies were picked at random from movies around me. To be fair I consider all of them fun to watch. Well, Django is kind of rough in spots due to it dealing with slavery but it has a satisfying conclusion.

I second the In Bruges, Kings of Summer, and The Way, Way Back nominations.

Since you are on a train you could watch the Before [time of day] trilogy and become emotionally crippled

It's Such a Beautiful day trilogy (all togethers is just over an hour and its on Vimeo for like 6 bucks for the HD download)

Zodiac

Good Night and Good Luck

Lars and the Real Girl/Place Beyond the Pines

Fast 1-6 (They just touches my pleasure centers)

The Stand, by Stephen King.

The godfather films. Oldboy, No, if you havent seen Oldboy dont watch it on a train. Dawn of the dead. Yeah Day and Dawn of the dead. Zombie, pretty amazing. Once upon a time in the west is Three hours so is The good, The bad, and the Ugly. And I think Once upon a time in America is four hours.

Magnolia

@doctorchimp: I haven't, but it's on my list! I also want to check out The Missing Person.

I prefer...

Terminator 2 and Heat.

Memento.

North by Northwest, Rear Winodw, Veritgo and Psycho.

Dr. Strangelove, Die Hard, Robocop, Watchmen, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Spring Breakers, Predator. That's more than 7 hours easy but just some of the ones that stuck out to my eyelobes.

Yea it was. In fact, I'd recommend watching all episodes of Firefly! Here's the Millers is a funny movie too, probably good for a train ride

Once upon a time in the west x2

Lots and lots of pornography.

According to Wikipedia "The Satin Slipper" is 6 hours and 50 minutes long. I think that's clearly the pick, when else will you have another 7 hours to spend on a film, and you can even have a coffee half way through.

I just saw Dredd the other day, and it was dope.

Seven Samurai, that'll take up half the ride.

That Steven Seagal movie where he fights terrorists on a train. Watch that 3-4 times.

Torque is a movie that should be on your list.

Murder on the Orient Express, The Great Train Robbery, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and either Silver Streak or The Polar Express.

Strangers on a Train.

Unstoppable, Under Siege 2 and Creep.

Submarine, Brick and Dredd.

Watchman Ultimate Cut for 215 minutes of bliss.

If you dig LOTR, check out The Hobbit.

Darjeeling limited, He died with a felafel in his hands, Rushmore

Robot and Frank just came to Netflix, and it's really, really good.

A good western movie is Open Range

Source Code was set on a train (kinda). It's pretty good.

the one where he's on the boat is waaaaaay better!

The Longest day is a really good war movie and its about 4 hours long.

@mushir: Sergio Leone laughs at your "newer movies" suggestion. But here's a decent spread.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Once Upon A Time In the West

Unforgiven

Taxi Driver

The Prestige

I disagree. Most people, especially if they've only seen the films, will probably find the pacing of The Hobbit as too slow. That's the entire point though, it isn't meant to replicate what LOTR did because it is in fact, a prequel. It's a different tone and while I personally still enjoy the LOTR films a lot more, I had a great time with The Hobbit.

Duck Soup

Watch 2001 Space oddissey .... 2 thing can happen ... either you watch the 4 hour long flick or you fall asleep for 4 hours :D either is good for long travels ^^

RocknRolla, Snatch, and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Do the Guy Ritchie trilogy.
