Fyc: Das Boot https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30970892/ (Iknow, the movie is already in the Top250. Just if you think they'd make a movie in real length, it would be a movie of 5h 9m.)

Or is it about cutting back to 2h, 3h, 3.5h? Where is the limit?

No, I didn't mean for the length to be cut. Including Das Boot could be a little confusing, but I'll think about it.

Das Boot already is in the Top250 at 80th place. They have cut mini-series down into the movie with a lenght of 2h 29m. My question was more about putting the whole 5h 9m of the mini-series into a new movie. Now I guess that wasn't your intention. I think depending on the content of the series, it might be a tough challenge to put a mini-serie into a movie without cutting it. Animal documentations may work, but when it comes to history - like the Stalin mini-series - it might be tough to cut it down even just half an hour. It's a good question, which might be suitable.
