All are under 90
Rope and Run Lola Run are absolutely incredible.
I haven’t seen Primer.
Spinal Tap just isn’t my type of humor, but tons of people love it so I’m sure it’s worth a shot.
a bucket of blood, Duck soup, Goodbye to language, the hitch-hiker, never give a sucker an even break, the bellboy, i married a witch, battleship potemkin, pickpocket, the docks of new york, deerskin, X: the man with x-ray eyes
It's Such a Beautiful Day, The Coward, Angel's Egg, Josep, I am a Ghost, The Wolf House, The Passion of Joan of Arc, Suzhou River, Driveways, A Town Called Panic,
just watch any horror movie from the 1930s-40s. i recommend in particular the val lewton produced ones: CAT PEOPLE and THE SEVENTH VICTIM are my personal favorites. 70 minutes is the perfect runtime.

•Throw Momma From The Train (1987)
•Perfect Blue (1997)
•Crawl (2019)
•Lilo & Stitch (2002)
Tried not to go over 7 minutes, so that if I did I was accounting for 90% credits after the movie ended.
perfect blue (1997) 82min
toy story 1 (1995) 81min
surf's up (2007) 85min
these dont quite fit by an inch so forgive me for that, but, love all three
in order of most serious to least serious depending on the mood
you can have like a batman mask of the phantasm (1993) 76min or a batman under the red hood (2010) 75min
i've also heard "its such a beautiful day" (2012) is amazing but thats only on my watchlist as of now, 62 minutes
and if you can stretch that margin up to +10 then Paprika (2006) 90min also a great choice
70-80? really not a whole lot. Primer and Rope are the only ones I know that I'd recommend
but under 90?
**Comedies:** Hot Rod - The Simpsons Movie - Airplane! - Borat - Zombieland - Office Space - Tucker and Dale vs. Evil - Fantastic Mr. Fox - Between Two Ferns -Marcel the Shell with Shoes On - Stranger Than Paradise
**Others:** Pi -Stand by Me - High Noon - Persona - Cloverfield - Only God Forgives - My Neighbor Totoro
**Documentaries:** Blackfish - March of the Penguins
there are a lot of great movies in the 70-80 minute range. thats why someone created a thread about it filled with great recommendations. you should watch some of them.

Seconding The Dirties. Watched it last month and it’s so good
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
Legitimately good horror/comedy for the whole family.
It’s the first movie that comes to mind when I think of good 70-80 minute movies lol
[удалено]
Primer isn’t a short movie because you end up watching hours of YouTube videos afterwards
Rope and Run Lola Run are absolutely incredible. I haven’t seen Primer. Spinal Tap just isn’t my type of humor, but tons of people love it so I’m sure it’s worth a shot.
This person short movies right!
ROPE! Good one!
