Wednesday evening’s Republican presidential primary debate was quite the long slog: Over 3 hours long. And that’s not even including the hour and a half-long earlier debate with four minor candidates.
If you didn’t watch the main debate, you would have had plenty of time to watch a great film instead. Here’s a list of 16 films you could have watched instead of the GOP debate:

Wolf of Wall Street (3:00)

Sound of Music (3:00)
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (2:58)
The Godfather (2:55)
