Top 5 Movies Under 90 Minutes That Don't Waste a Single Second

Tight, lean films that get in, wreck you and let you go to bed at a reasonable hour.

1. 1

   Run Lola Run — Tom Tykwer

   Eighty-one minutes of techno, red hair and three tries at one bad day, and it's still the most efficient adrenaline shot in film.

2. 2

   Fantastic Mr. Fox — Wes Anderson

   Every frame is packed with jokes and tiny corduroy details, and it still wraps up before the kids start asking for snacks.

3. 3

   Toy Story — John Lasseter

   It invented a whole medium and somehow also fit in a full buddy comedy, an existential crisis and a getaway in 81 minutes.

4. 4

   Rope — Alfred Hitchcock

   Built to look like one continuous take, with a body in the chest the whole time, and the tension never lets up for a second.

5. 5

   Coherence — James Ward Byrkit

   A dinner party, a comet and a mostly improvised cast make for the best sci-fi movie you can watch on a weeknight.
