I digitize movies I own...either from DVDs/amazon prime/VHS movies and put them on a hard drive hooked to a media player. I've got hundreds of titles. That way, I can flip through ALL my movies from the comfort of my easy chair and watch any of them. I also edit movies. I often take out parts I simply don't care to watch over and over gain. I wonder if anyone else does anything like that.

Nope. But if I was watching, say, King Kong (2005), I may just fast-forward or scene-skip some of the bloated parts.

I edited out the Santa Claus story in Gremlins (1984) so my nieces and nephews could watch it when they were young.

Yes, I have done a ton of them over the years.

No, and I never fast-forward anything or skip any scenes.

Yes, I have done a ton of them over the years. I have a video editing app that I've been using for ~15 yrs and it allows me to split longer video files...eg a 2 hr movie into shorter segments that serve as chapters if I end up watching part of a movie and want to return to it without watching the entire thing over. It also allows me to take out scenes I don't care to watch over and over again and to x out language I chose not to hear over and over again. I generally watch movies to relax and fall asleep to. So the particularly violent/loud/profane sections don't help with that.

I have also made a few longer, by combining two films, or adding extra footage.

So the particularly violent/loud/profane sections don't help with that. Wow, that's pretty cool. I also have made some shorter, keeping just the main story line. I have also made a few longer, by combining two films, or adding extra footage. That reminds me. I really like the movie Groundhog Day, with Bill Murray. I had the dvd and it had 'outtakes'... scenes which didn't make the final cut. I edited MY version so those are now part of the movie I watch. All of the outtakes were interesting and I think it made the movie more enjoyable.
I enjoy a made for TV movie called Supernova 2005 starring Peter Fonda and Luke Perry. The main story...the sun emitting matter/energy and it striking the earth and the struggle to deal with the damage and other reactions such a series of events might result in was fascinating (to me). But it had a whole 'side story' of some psychopath who was after Dr Richardson's (played by Perry) wife. To me...it was totally irrelevant and I went through and extracted just about every scene which was about that side story. The movie flows just as well and I don't have to continually see the parts that, frankly, I didn't find entertaining.
I did the same thing with another tv miniseries called Meteor 2009 starring Christopher Lloyd which is a totally unrealistic (but interesting) movie about a huge meteor that is headed for earth. It had a rather vicious side story about a cop and ex cop which I didn't find to be at all necessary for the main story. I digitized the video and cut out all the scenes about that and the movie is just as 'watchable' and nothing is lost.
The list goes on, but I do it quite commonly. Of course if someone didn't enjoy diddling with video files, they might find that tedious, but it's kind of a hobby for me so it's a win-win.

Those are great ideas! When I am editing, it relaxes me. Very calming. I have too many examples to mention, but here is one: I like the film DEEP IMPACT (1997) and one time I added the NYC flooding scenes from the film DAY AFTER TOMORROW (2004)

I haven't tried folding in disaster scenes from other movies...that would work.
That reminds me...I have the movie Spanglish starring Adam Sandler and Tia Leoni. In that movie, Tia plays Sandler's wife and is 'a piece of shit' to put it mildly. So I edited the movie and folded in the scene from Deep Impact where she is standing with her father on a beach and the massive wave hits her. A fitting way for such a b____ to die. And I have John ending up with Flor even though that isn't how the movie ends.

Another fun one I did was for SKYLINE (2010) a character turns on her TV, and then I showed the TV news reports of alien invasion from BATTLE LOS ANGELES (2011)

I did a fanedit of Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions. I thought about doing ones for The Dark Knight Rises and Scream 4.
