replaced "shows" with takes as "shows" implies a TV episode.
Feb 5, 2015 at 21:59 comment added BCdotWEB I recall that Gus Van Sant's Elephant consists of many long steadycam shots, but I can't find any real data right now. Here's an example.

Jul 3, 2014 at 21:04 comment added jahu Cannon Fodder from the Memories anthology is an interesting example. It's just 22 minutes long and it's actually short animated movie, but it was created in such way that it appears like a single long take and it's worth mentioning because of that.
May 17, 2014 at 2:36 comment added lonstar Just a comment, here's a Mental Floss article that has a pretty decent list. Forgot about Hard Boiled, that's a great movie.

Feb 14, 2014 at 8:40 comment added Meat Trademark @JoshDM I think my late answer may get lost in the shuffle here, so I respectfully ask you scroll down to read it. Hopefully this not bad etiquette to request such a thing.

Feb 13, 2014 at 23:00 comment added BrettFromLA Hitchcock's 80-minute movie "Rope" was all supposed to be a single take, but it was actually ten 8-minute clips cut together so you didn't notice.
Feb 13, 2014 at 22:16 comment added JoshDM Yes, but it is good of you to note Rope here.
Feb 13, 2014 at 21:43 comment added user1426 Hitchcock's "Rope" was filmed without a visible cut - but I guess you are looking for "real" single takes

Feb 13, 2014 at 16:10 comment added agweber It's not going to win any length awards, but Alton Brown's Good Eats shows regularly have long sequences.

Feb 13, 2014 at 14:11 comment added Ashl This shot from The Protector is around 4 minutes single take. Not quite as long as some of the ones already mentioned, but I think it is worth noting since it is a martial arts movie and the scene involves an incredible number of stunts that all had to be performed correctly to get in a single shot.

Feb 13, 2014 at 9:00 comment added MattBianco My favorite is Robert Altman's the Player. Not a record, but very well done.

Feb 12, 2014 at 23:32 comment added John Kemeny All the movies in the Before {Sunrise, Sunset, Midnight}-trilogy have long takes, and I believe at least one clocks in at around 13 minutes (source)
Feb 12, 2014 at 20:47 comment added jessecurry Not really a tracking shot, but the extended take in Old Boy was around four minutes long. Definitely not a record, but it deserves mention since it was a fighting scene.
