In an age of three-hour movies, sometimes a 90-minute classic is all you need.
Don’t get us wrong, we absolutely love settling in for a blockbuster and we will forever defend the run times of The Batman and : Endgame…but three hours is a commitment!
Thankfully, has us covered. Of course he does.
Taking aim at lengthy run-times in an SNL skit, Pete joked he’s ‘a simple man with no attention span’ – and Netflix actually took note.
The streaming giant responded with their ‘short-ass movies’ section and we’re actually very grateful.
So here are our top picks!
Easy A – 92 minutes
It’s easily one of the best films ever made and, as Emma Stone die-hards, no we are not biased (we may be slightly biased).
Easy A follows clean-cut teen Olive (Emma) who decides to lie about losing her virginity – and things quickly spiral out of control.
It’s got everything you could ever want from a classic romcom, it’s Amanda Bynes’ last film before she stepped back from acting (and what a performance).
AND it’s only 92 minutes long. Flawless!
The Fundamentals of Caring – 97 minutes
You will laugh. You will cry. You will cry more.
A writer (Paul Rudd) quits his job to become a full time carer to a disabled teen (Craig Roberts) and it is nothing like what he expected.
You’re not likely to forget it in a hurry.
Rocks – 93 minutes
Rocks was nominated and it’s easy to see why.
Following a determined teenage girl struggles to take care of herself and her younger brother after her mother’s abrupt departure, the film sees Bukky Bakray absolutely stun in the role.
The Purge – 85 minutes
If it’s horror you’re after, one of the absolute classics comes in at less than 90 minutes.
For the uninitiated, The Purge sees the US government sanction a 12-hour period each year during which all crime is legal.
Starring Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey, it’s an essential watch.
Mr Bean’s Holiday – 90 minutes
From The Purge to Mr Bean…can’t say we don’t give you variety!
Rowan Atkinson’s iconic film is by no means a cinematic masterpiece – but it is a cracking watch for a rainy afternoon.
Boiling Point – 92 minutes
Stephen Graham’s Bafta-nominated film who has to coordinate his team on the busiest day of the year.
Incredibly,in a real restaurant, after the actors shadowed real kitchen staff.
Happy Gilmore – 93 minutes
The classic Adam Sandler flick (before his success with Uncut Gems – or Uncah Jahms, as it may be more commonly known) follows a rejected hockey player puts his skills to the golf course to save his grandmother’s house.
Somehow, the film turned 25 last year and it’s clear .
