1 hour ago

There are films in the history of world cinema that have set records with their unique aspects. Below we provide information about them.

**“Avengers: Endgame” and “Avatar” — the highest-grossing films**

“Avatar” grossed $2,790,000,000, while “Avengers: Endgame” grossed $2,797,000,000. The difference between them is 7 million dollars, which is why both of these films are worthy of this record.

**“007: Spectre” — the biggest explosion**

Every director tries to surprise the audience with something — some with complex stunt fights, some with shootouts, some with chase scenes. But the creators of “Spectre” decided to amaze everyone with a massive explosion. It is worth noting that the explosion shown in the film was real, required a large budget, and did not use computer graphics.

**“Toy Story” — the first feature-length animated film**

However, in the mid-90s, there was no talk of this. “Toy Story” was the first feature-length animated film, and the first experiment turned out to be successful.

**“Russian Ark” — a film without editing**

This could be a dance or a fight scene. In the film “Children of Men”, there is a complex scene depicting shootouts and explosions lasting 6 minutes and 3 seconds, which was not edited. “Russian Ark” broke all records as a film without a single cut — in it, a single shot was filmed for more than an hour. The camera operator follows the main character for more than a kilometer. As a result, although the film was rehearsed for more than six months, it was shot in about an hour and a half.

**“Logistics” — the longest film**

But the creators of the film “Logistics” achieved this. Lasting 857 hours, this film is considered the longest film in history. It tells the story of how people buy a pedometer, travel to the place where it was manufactured, and record all of this on camera.

**“The Lord of the Rings” — the film with the largest filming set**

Many interesting facts, notes, and funny stories can be learned from the information about the filming process. For example, the Shire was not drawn using graphics, but was created in reality and used not only in “The Lord of the Rings”, but also in “The Hobbit”. Currently, the Shire is a place that tourists love to visit.

**“Gandhi” — the largest crowd scene**

But can anyone replicate what the filmmakers of “Gandhi” did? They had 300,000 people participate in the funeral scene of the famous Indian politician and social activist.

**“Titanic”, “Ben-Hur” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” — the most Oscars**
