Maybe not the longest one, but the boss at the end of Circle of Magi quest (Dragon Age Origins)
My God, I hated that.....thing

King Allant from Demon's Souls.
I just kept picking away at him while he smashed me across the throneroom.

Probably the Avatar of Kain in DOW2, took me almost an hour of hit and run.
I think either I was doing it wrong or more likely that I just was not a high enough level and wasn't carrying a good enough loadout.

Fools Idol, in Demons souls. I killed it about 8 times before i worked out how to stop it reviving.
When fighting the final form of Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII eventually none of my party members could do anything more than inflict slight damage because of annoying status effects (I forgot to bring any items to cure those). I did have plenty of MP restoration items and could keep casting Cure 3 to keep my party alive.
It took about an hour for me to lose the battle and give up permanently afterwards. The Supernova attack animation gets really irritating when you see it more than fifteen times.

Angra Mainyu in FFX-2. Hour and a half to beat him down, though I was under-powered at the time.
somehow the final boss ultimecia from ff8 took me an hour and a half to beat. Cold dinners are always best.
I think for me it would be pulling down the Star Destroyer in TFU.
Shaddup, it counts.
Basically because the lower it gets the more difficult it is the position it right so it can be brought down. I was destroying the fighters and attempting to position the ship, moving my mouse as fast as I could and giving myself wanker's cramp in the process but the game seemingly would never give me enough time and I'd have to fight the next wave of fighters. By the time I had destroyed them the ship would be all skewed again and the process repeated itself over and over and over.
Finally I tried to use a little logic. I reckoned as the game was a console-to-PC port it would require console-like motions the get it to work properly. The best way to do that with a mouse was to make long slow-as-possible sweeps. Suffice to say it worked but it took far too damn long for me to actually use my head.
