And/or movies you usually watch up to a certain point. Any of you know of any movies that you usually watch in one of these ways?
Let me give some examples:
I enjoy Jaws. I think it's great from beginning to end. I can watch it from beginning to end. I don't have any problems with anything from beginning to end. But yet when I watch it, I usually watch from when the three guys go out to the ocean onward to the end.
If I watch The Exorcist, I usually watch from when Regan starts to misbehave (like when she pees on the carpet) onward. The earlier stuff is alright, but I feel like the movie doesn't "kick in" until she starts to misbehave.
If I watch Cast Away (2000), I usually watch from the plane crash onward. The earlier stuff is fine (same with the later stuff on the main land), but the movie is especially compelling from the plane crash onward.
I think a lot of people usually watch Full Metal Jacket up to when the second half starts and then stop the movie.
As far as watching up to a certain point, the only movie that comes to mind is The Lost World: Jurassic Park. I hate the part when the T-Rex gets loose in San Diego. I feel like the movie falls apart at that point and doesn't recover. Everything before that is decent entertainment although it's certainly not as good as Jurassic Park. So I usually watch up to when they're getting ready to head to San Diego. The movie probably should have ended there anyway, but I digress.
I think the reason why I usually watch some of these movies from a certain point onward (and/or up to a certain point) is maybe it's how I used to view them when I first saw them on cable. If I watch them on DVD/Blu-ray/HBO then that's a different story.
