The Battle of Algiers is one of those films I try to foist upon everyone I know sooner or later. Folks tend to be snippy about the runtime in the post-Weinstein "ninety minutes and out" world, but that hasn't stopped me yet.
I think a lot of films might benefit from being a little shorter, but I also am a fan of Bela Tarr, and I wouldn't sacrifice a frame of any of his films. ;)
