5 movies to watch when you only have 90 mins to spare

We've all faced the conundrum, when we've fallen into that time of night when we wonder - Is it too late to put a movie on now? Wondering if we can trust our attention span for the entire length of a movie or will it let us down just as the movie is about to get interesting and we have to trudge off to bed wearily, having to suspend our viewing until the following night to see how the tale unfolds. Movies nowadays can also seem longer with your average film coming in over the two hour mark.
With this in mind, I've decided to research the running time of some all time classics and pick five for your viewing on the nights that a long movie just won't cut it!

Here are my choices:

5: This Is Spinal Tap (1984), 85 mins
A groundbreaking rockumentary which paved the way for a new type of documentary comedy. Filled with hilarious and often quoted lines this Rob Reiner classic has dated very well and is worth repeated viewing.
If you haven't seen it - do yourself a favour and sit down and enjoy whenever you can and at eighty five minutes long you'll undoubtedly see this one through to its hilarious end.

4: Searching for Sugar Man (2012), 86 mins
This documentary about the extraordinary true story of forgotten musician Rodriguez and the mystery surrounding his career is another short yet interesting movie. Oscar winner for Best Documentary and filled with some great tracks this is a must for any fans of  music,intrigue and mystery.
Currently available on Netflix

3: Zombieland (2009), 87 mins
Both funny and terrifying in equal measures and with terrific performances by Woody Harrelson, Jesse Essenberg and Emma Stone as well as an infamous scene stealing cameo from Bill Murray, fans of both the horror and comedy genres will enjoy this eighty seven minute ride of blood, guts and laughs!
Also currently available on Netflix

2:Sexy Beast (2000), 88 mins
The cream of the crop as regards British gangster movies, this film rises above its predecessors (and successors) due the performances of its cast, including the electrifying and frightening Ben Kingsley. Not for the faint hearted, the tension in this movie will keep those eyelids wide open for the allotted eighty eight minutes running time. A modern classic.

1:Locke (2014), 85 mins
A fascinating and strangely gripping movie with an incredible preformance from Tom Hardy in a movie which is shot entirely from the inside of his car.
It takes a hell of a script and performance to keep the audience engaged in such a confined space but Hardy does exactly that and at eighty five mins long the audiences attention never wanes as we are gripped watching this tale unfold. Compelling.
