The Dekalog versions are an hour long. The film version are around 80-90mins. Killing truly is a great film on its own.

i remember liking Killing and the first episode (with the math program and the ice) the best. Love was third. For some reason Dekalog stays with me significantly more vividly than Kieslowskis others works. I loved the three colors trilogy, but only vaugely remember Red. Double Life of Veronique wasnt for me.

A Short Film About Killing has about 20-odd extra minutes of which a majority is significant scenes with the protagonist getting fleshed out a lot more as well as the lawyer getting more scenes.  Another difference is the final image which is a totally different shot. The DVD transfer of the extended version is "better" as well.

If we can plug some films, I'd like people to check out The Barbarian Invasions.

If I was including JUST movies from the 90s, Out of Sight might be on it.

Might.
