Are there any movies you like certain scenes but can't stand and won't watch others?

I love the first half of death proof. Second half feels like a different movie which I don’t enjoy nearly as much.

off the top of my head... not really.

because while there are some scenes in movies here and there that stand out for me, I generally don't see large swings in my interest in a movie as a overall movie either works or it does not and that determines whether I re-watch it or not. because some movies are decent enough for a viewing but I know I won't re-watch them (i.e. these are Thumbs Down) and then other movies I enjoy them enough to where ill re-watch them here and there as the years pass.

basically I am not a fan of loading up a movie and just watching certain scenes in it as when I watch a movie I watch it from beginning to end. plus, even those movies with scenes that stand out tend to have better effect when watching the movie from start to finish vs if you just skip directly to the scene.

now that you mention this movie...

ill say this... when R Lee Ermey is around the movie is watchable, after he's gone it's completely boring.

PULP FICTION has one good sequence, actual dark comedy, beginning with the clothesline and ending with the escape from the pawn shop. The rest of it is undeniably crapola for Beavis and Butthead. The scenes with the two obnoxious hit men should be cut altogether. They are nothing but annoying, their scenes boring and stupid, although B and B people really like them. They're the only ones, though.

BRAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S leads up to the big cat scene, but the lead up doesn't really validate it. 

The end of COMMANDOS 1968 kind of makes up for an otherwise ordinary war film

The log scene in the original KING KONG. Well, the island scenes are okay, but after the island, the movie totally sucks.

The final showdown of FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE is good, as we learn why the bounty hunters couldn't count straight, and the chines are good, but you have to admit everything before that was total crap, made for women really.

A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS has one decent scene about a mule being harassed, but that's only because the mule is the only interesting thing in the entire movie. No one will dispute this is one of the 100 worst movies ever made. Well, no one who isn't a brain dead drug crazed sheep. No offense.

The rest stop scene with the truckers caught with their pants down, that's the only even slightly funny scene in THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, the famous snooze fest. 

Not a bad movie, but I really get bored with GHOSTBUSTERS aside from the scene about "when someone asks you if you're a god, the answer is always...". Only really funny line in the movie.

I love all of STAR WARS (1977) but about 20 years back, I would repeatedly watch only the last 20 minutes, or so.

The podrace and lightsaber duel in The Phantom Menace

The opening credits and Dr Manhattan origin scene in Watchmen.

The warehouse fight in BvS

I love Jaws as much as the next person, but these days I usually end up watching it from the time Quint and the boys go shark hunting to the end. Not that the first half is bad or boring or anything like that. It's certainly not.  Maybe because the later half is so engaging and exciting since it's the guys battling it out with the shark.

I do enjoy The Exorcist, but the movie doesn't get interesting until Regan starts acting out (like when she pees on the carpet).

Se7en is a good film, but it doesn't get really good until the last 20 minutes or so with John Doe (or at least until Pitt chases him through the streets).  The earlier stuff isn't bad by any means, but it feels like standard police mystery stuff for a film.
