The amount of time it takes to make a movie varies extensively. It can sometimes take 4-5 years (or even longer) to produce a movie, but in other cases, it may only take a few weeks. It all depends on the creative vision and how quickly the movie needs to get done, but there have definitely been some good movies that were pulled off in a very short amount of time.  Some of the movies on this list were only made in less than a year and they turned out great!
