My discipline has it's limits too. Most movies are pretty formula based and unremarkable. I watch a movie for a period of time and size it up. If it keeps a hold of me then I stay with it, but a negative reaction causes me to start skipping through it (to make sure I still don't like it) and get done sooner. Movies are like ice cream, if I don't like a spoon of it then there is no point eating a bowl. If find that the first 15 minutes is a good predictor about 99% of the time for the whole film.
Having watched film progress through the decades has given me many insights already. I used to teach history so I enjoy this approach. Over 95% of all classic film is new to me. Once I get to the 70's I will run into many more films that I saw growing up and the process will quicken.
