Just out of curiosity I decided to check IMDBs top 10 movies. Was a little surprised at what I saw.

Shawshank Redemption - 2 hours 22 mins
Godfather - 2 hours 55 mins
Godfather II - 3 hours 20 mins
Pulp Fiction - 2 hours 48 mins
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - 2 hours 41 mins
12 Angry Men - 1 hour 36 mins (Shortest)
Schindlers List - 3 Hours 15 mins
The Dark Knight - 2 hours 32 mins
LotR: The Return of The King - 3 hours 21 mins (Longest)
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest - 2 hours 13 mins

These are easily average of 2.5 hours each and are generally held as some of the best motion pictures ever made.
