Longest Movie Titles?
Can anyone come up with a title of a fairly mainstream movie - ie, not some wacky indie flick - that's longer than The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford?

That's the actual title of the play, but I'm not sure it counts as the title of the film, which is generally known as Marat/Sade and is so listed at IMDb. Not an easy question to resolve.

Re: Longest Movie Titles?
I'm surprised no one mentioned:
Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines, or, How I Flew From London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes
and there was something else that struck me as both more recent and more obvious, but between now and then....
I also had the (mis?)fortune to be involved in a stage production of Marat/Sade a few years ago. Stressful stuff on us in the tech crew, especially ending the show with a liquid accelerated fire in the middle of the riot at the end...
