I’d disagree with some of those choices.
I believe editing does not contribute to the “how much longer is this going on?”
I just watched the Criterion release of White Dog and wondered when it was going to end. (And it’s only 92 minutes.) But the problem was a padded, unintersting story, not the editing which was okay.
That’s the same problem with Waterworld and King Kong. Too elongated a story. Not bad editing.
