Movie night: 15 sourced records

What this topic measures

Running times can differ between cuts. The selected films use the preferred or sole minute-duration claim in this frozen snapshot. The unit is minutes. This topic uses ratio scoring: a value half the target and a value twice the target are equally far away, so think in multiplicative bands rather than fixed steps.

A record is a named row in the frozen catalog, not necessarily a unique entity. Some topics contain several records with the same value, and a name round accepts any record at the closest distance. The table below is the complete answer set for this topic; there is no hidden shortlist.

All 15 records

Every row links to the original source used for that record. Values are rounded for display only; the scoring engine uses the stored source value. The snapshot date and unit are part of the topic’s definition, so a current live figure may differ.

The table has 15 rows, one for each accepted record. It does not list every alias or spelling variant; the game’s name matcher handles those at answer time. If two records share a value, both remain separate rows.

The range and the gaps

The 15 records run from 80 minutes to 194 minutes. The median is 136 minutes, with a middle half from 118 minutes to 155 minutes. The largest adjacent gap is 19 minutes between The Godfather (1972) and Titanic (1997). 1 records share a value with another record, so names can be tied even when their values are equal.

The highest listed records are Titanic (1997) (194 minutes), The Godfather (1972) (175 minutes), Interstellar (2014) (169 minutes). The lowest are Toy Story (1995) (80 minutes), The Lion King (1994) (88 minutes), Finding Nemo (2003) (100 minutes). Use these as anchors before you make a ratio or year estimate; the table below gives every value.

What the table does not tell you

These are single snapshot values in minutes for 15 familiar films · stated release year · listed theatrical duration. The table is not a time series, a range of typical values or a measure of uncertainty. A source can round, revise or use a different definition in a later release; the game uses the stored snapshot for every score. Read the source and the record label before treating a value as a current live measurement.

How to estimate this topic

Film runtimes are theatrical minutes from the source’s preferred duration. Different cuts and releases can change the number. Use 90, 120 and 180 minutes as bands; animation and franchise films can sit on either side of the 120-minute anchor.
