The Best Movies Under 9. Minutes. This post was originally published in October 2.

We have updated and re- promoted it for the release of the live- action Ghost in the Shell. Sure, it’s great to turn off your mind and immerse yourself in a three- hour- long orgy of cinematic excess. But sometimes, you just want a good story, capably told, that gets in and out and in less than 9. After all, you’re a busy person, with many responsibilities! Maybe you’ve only got a short window, or maybe you’re just trying to sneak in one more movie in a late- night marathon.

Whatever your motivation, here are a few dozen (relatively) brief films worth your limited time. Dumbo (1. 94. 1)Disney’s fourth animated movie was conceived as a model of simplicity and efficiency, made to recoup the losses of Fantasia. Even so, in just 6. Dumbo was drunk. Frankenstein (1. It’s alive!” It sure is — James Whale’s 1.

Frankenstein buzzes throughout with the frenetic, fearful energy of its metaphorical origins in Mary Shelley’s novel. Boris Karloff’s monster is about as iconic as anything the movies have ever produced, and it only took 7. Available on: Amazon.

Available on iTunes and YouTube. Slow West (2015) You could almost think of John Maclean’s Slow West as a cover of the Western genre — but one by a band that. Don Piper’s story, now made visible in the movie 90 Minutes in Heaven (out this weekend), records his experience of “dying” as a result of a head-on car crash. Five Minutes of Heaven is a British and Irish film directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel from a script by Guy Hibbert. The film was premiered on 19 January 2009 at the 25th.

Pickpocket (1. 95. French filmmaker Robert Bresson’s movies can feel like alien experiences: expressionless, spare, and slowed to a crawl, they withhold from the audience most of what they expect from a filmic experience.

But Pickpocket, with its noir- inflected plot and tense theft sequences, is a good entry point — and that last shot is a doozy. Available on: Amazon.

Before Sunset (2. The second film in Richard Linklater’s Before series, Before Sunset clocks in at a svelte 8.

But in that short time, it paints a picture of two lives lived entirely without each other — and the specter of that absence, as much as the astonishing chemistry of Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, is what anchors one of the greatest love stories ever told. Available on: Amazon Prime, i. Tunes, Google Play, Sony Entertainment and You. Tube. 5. Rope (1. The Emoji Movie Shit (2017) Movie In Hd. One of the great pieces of fiction devoted to the idea of “the perfect crime,” Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope represents the master at his most technically innovative. Shot in a series of long takes, Rope is edited to look like one long, continuous scene, presaging the technique that Alejandro G.

Hitchcock didn’t think the experiment worked out, but hey, it was worth a shot. Available on Amazon, Apple and Sony Entertainment. Primer (2. 00. 4)Even more than its 7. Shane Carruth’s labyrinthine time- travel masterpiece is remarkable for an even greater feat of economy: It only cost $7,0. That’s because Carruth did pretty much everything — writing, directing, producing, editing, and composing the music for the movie himself.

But all the money in the world can’t buy ingenuity like this, which is why the movie is now a cult classic for fans of brainy cinema. Available on Netflix, Amazon, i. Tunes, Google Play and You. Tube. Toy Story (1. You can debate over whether the original adventures of Woody and Buzz Lightyear is superior to the sequels, but you can’t debate one thing: Its run time is objectively shorter. Pixar didn’t need much time to set a standard for computer- animated features that few of its successors could match.

Available on Amazon. The Squid and the Whale (2. An acerbically witty and deeply honest look at divorce from the inside, The Squid and the Whale solidified Noah Baumbach’s very specific vision of Brooklyn malaise. Laura Linney and Jeff Daniels’s marriage implodes, while the couple’s eldest son (Jesse Eisenberg) flirts with douchebaggery, and their younger son (Owen Kline) discovers the joys of masturbating and smearing the result in unexpected places. Available on Amazon. A Night at the Roxbury (1.

What is love?” It’s turning a half- baked Saturday Night Live sketch into a half- baked feature; Will Ferrell’s performance, as one half of a brotherly duo with fellow SNL- er Chris Kattan, is the epitome of making something from absolutely nothing. Available on Amazon. Sleepwalk With Me (2. Comedian Mike Birbiglia’s auteur turn is a concise portrait of the stand- up lifestyle with one added wrinkle: He sleepwalks. The sleepwalking is a metaphor, and the comedy is a tantalizing sample of Birbiglia’s stuff, even in dramatized form. Next time you can’t decide between a stand- up special and movie, split the difference with this.

Available on Netflix, Amazon, i. Tunes, Google Play, You. Tube and Sony Entertainment. Ghost in the Shell (1. Mamoru Oshii’s adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s cyberpunk manga is a high point of ’9. Japanese or otherwise.

Taking place in a futuristic Japan where cybernetic enhancements are the norm, its main character, cyborg agent Major Motoko Kusanagi, must track down an elusive hacker who has been taking over the networked brains of government officials. Come for the visuals, which would influence two decades of Hollywood action fare, stay for the heady philosophical robot angst. Available on Amazon, Hulu, i. Tunes, Google Play, and You. Tube. 1. 2. The Killing (1. If you’ve seen a heist movie in the last 6.

Stanley Kubrick’s breakout film — a bona fide classic the director made at the tender age of 2. More about the clockwork preparations that go into planning a racetrack robbery than the actual robbery itself — though it certainly delivers in that respect — The Killing packs more narrative meat than most television shows manage in a season. Available on i. Tunes and You.

Tube. Slow West (2. You could almost think of John Maclean’s Slow West as a cover of the Western genre — but one by a band that has more than a little talent of its own. What Slow West lacks in originality, it makes for in the vibrancy of its colors, the vivacity of its performances — Michael Fassbender and Ben Mendelsohn are at the top of their respective games — and the fury of its climactic shootout. And it’s less than half as long as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Available on Amazon Prime, Google Play, i.

Tunes, Sony Entertainment and You. Tube. Blackfish (2. Twitter aside, there’s no better way to get indignant in a short amount of time than by watching Blackfish, Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s documentary look into the world of captive killer whales. Blackfish had substantive change on more than just Sea. World’s share price — laws regarding orca captivity have been passed in the film’s wake, and Sea.

World has moved away from live performances featuring killer whales. Available on Netflix, Amazon, Google Play, Youtube, Sony Entertainment and i. Tunes. 1. 5. Borat (2.

Considering the breadth and influence of Sacha Baron Cohen’s groundbreaking mockumentary, it’s hard to believe the film is only 8. But Cohen moves with aggressive intent through a series of killer gags — though if we never hear someone say “my wife” again, that would be fine. Available on Amazon, You.

Tube and Sony Entertainment. Pi (1. 99. 8)Like Primer, Darren Aronofsky’s debut Pi is a film whose short run time and low budget belie an almost unbelievable amount of complexity. Where Primer uses that complexity as a framework, Pi wears it on its sleeve, creating a movie overflowing with ideas and possessed by their power.

If you were ever bored by math in high school, let Aronofsky reinvigorate your taste for numbers. Available on Amazon. Black Dynamite (2. If you’ve ever wondered how blaxploitation cinema looks from the vantage point of the present, Black Dynamite is your answer.

In a fleet 8. 4 minutes, it nicely pays homage to, and sends up, most of the hallmarks of ’7. Sweet Sweetback’s Badasssss Song and Shaft. Watch Food Evolution (2017) Movie Online on this page. But Black Dynamite also has enough jokes and absurdity to justify its existence on its own merits, not just as a parody of the past. Available on Amazon, i. Tunes, Google Play, You. Tube and Sony Entertainment.

Chronicle (2. 01. As superhero movies become more and more bloated, why not revisit this gem: an origin story with a svelte run time that leaves you wanting more, instead of dreading an entire lumbering franchise to come? Available on Amazon, i. Tunes, Google Play, You. Tube and Sony Entertainment. Fruitvale Station (2.
