Have movies really become longer again?

I consider 3+ hours indulgent (we get ice cream and beer, once or twice, during what used to be the reel changes here), but two and half hours is about right.

Two hours would be my bare minimum for "feature length", and when I see one and half hour "films" I wonder "why was this not made-for-TV"?

The Matrix (which was being shown in cinemas recently, remastered, for the 25th anniversary), is 2 hours and 16 minutes. It feels like the perfect length to me.

Ghost in the Shell (1995) is 85 minutes long, just perfect.

Still haven't seen some of recent movies that got recommended to me & that probably would like a lot. Because i know i just cant stop mid-movie and finish another day like some people can. And i can't justify watching a 3h movie... what a commitment... while i have no issue watching just one episode(... after another... before the sunlight screams that i am an irresponsible moron for binge-watching 6h during the week...)
