Under 90 min

Best films Under 90 min. Choose a film that fits the time you have available.

We don't always have the time (or the will) for a three-hour epic. Sometimes we want to watch something good and finish before bed. This category is films under 90 minutes — concise, substantial and ideal for midweek, a short evening or a watch you still want to fit things in around.

Short doesn't mean worse

A film under 90 minutes is often the art of condensation — no padding, just the essence. Comedies, horror and animations work great here, rarely needing more time to entertain. Many classics and award-winning titles fit this bracket — a short runtime can be the sign of a well-thought-out screenplay.

When to pick a short film?

It's an ideal choice for a weeknight when you have to get up early, or when you want to watch something with friends and leave time to talk. A short watch also works well as a warm-up before a longer evening. A list of current titles sorted by popularity is below — you can narrow it by genre and platform.
