In 1984, TIME film critic Richard Corliss wrote a piece titled [“Why Do Movies Seem So Long?”](http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,921516,00.html) In it, he recalled a piece of wisdom from Columbia Pictures co-founder Harry Cohn, whose method for judging the quality of a film came down to this: “If my fanny squirms, it’s bad. If my fanny doesn’t squirm, it’s good.” 

The question Corliss explored that year is a perennial one, and it’s typically posed as a gripe. In Corliss’ estimation, movies had become “longer but not richer,” a trend he argued began toward the end of [World War II](http://time.com/4718016/when-the-film-greats-went-to-war/) when movies shifted, broadly speaking, from creations of the studio system to the artistic visions of directors. Speaking to the [_Daily Beast_](https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-are-2012s-holiday-movies-so-damn-long) three decades later, _Rolling Stone_ film critic Peter Travers blamed the bloat on studios’ misguided belief that the longer the movie, the greater the sheen of prestige, the greater the potential for prestigious awards. _Newsweek_ critic David Ansen wondered if studios weren’t reluctant to give notes to some of the biggest and most visionary directors in Hollywood.

In reality, a chart of average movie length over time looks less like the trajectory of the [flying bikes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR1-UFrcZ0k) in _E.T._ (114 min.) than the waves in _Jaws_ (124 min.). Yes, movies today are on average much longer than they were in the 1930s — excluding the 222-min. _Gone With the Wind_ — but they’re not necessarily much longer than popular films of the ’50s and ’60s. This year’s Best Picture winner _Moonlight_ is practically a [Vine](http://time.com/4548262/best-vines-ever/) when compared with past winners _Ben-Hur_ (1959, 212 minutes) and _Lawrence of Arabia_ (1962, 222 minutes) and nominee _Cleopatra_ (1963, 248 minutes). 

Still, even if today’s movies aren’t the longest they’ve ever been, there’s still the problem of the squirming fanny. To help you out, we’ve analyzed [Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/) reviews to come up with a list of the top-scoring movies that ring in under two hours, using a dataset of IMDB’s [10,000 top-grossing films.](http://www.imdb.com//search/title?at=0&countries=us&sort=boxoffice%5Fgross%5Fus&start=1&page=1&ref%5F=adv%5Fnxt)

There’s something for everyone on the list: classics like _Frankenstein_ (1931) and _The Wizard of Oz_ (1939); animated favorites like _Pinocchio_ (1940) and _101 Dalmatians_ (1961); Oscar Best Picture winners like _On the Waterfront_ (1954) and _Moonlight_ (2016); and, among other genres, documentaries like _Twenty Feet From Stardom_ (2013) and _Blackfish_ (2013).

The original version of this story incorrectly included _Lawrence of Arabia_ in the list of movies under two hours, listing its running time as 111 minutes. It is actually over two hours, at 222 minutes.
