Movies you've seen bits and pieces of but never in their entirety:
I have one entire genre - James Bond movies - I always have to leave before they're finished or else I come in in the middle.

Bonus- Coming into the middle of Pulp Fiction, then seeing the first half as the television station re-ran it!

2. Odd you made this thread:)
I have been meaning to catch "Nashville" for years and always catch the last 15 minutes:(

TCM played it last night and guess what? :)

I think i will just "rent" the damn thing.

I always hear what a great film it is even though i am not real fond of this genre of music?

3. "Gone with the Wind"
I've only seen parts of it when it's been aired on television. I've never seen the whole thing.

4. The two that pop into my head offhand...
are Pitch Black and Pulp Fiction.

I've seen most of both, I believe. But I can't be sure.

15. Bruce Willis' girlfriend bugs me.
I usually FF through that part. She's annoying. But it's an excellent flick.

Finally saw a scene or two with him in it a few years ago. :P

21. When she says. "Give me oral pleasure" I just want to slap her. I think they put

her in the movie because someone owed someone else
a favor.

8. My Cousin Vinnie
Every time it's on TV I watch it but it's always about half way through. I've never seen the first half of the movie.

10. That is a classic case - to see the same parts over and over without seeing the rest.
I have never seen the Godfather SAga end to end nor any individual part of it.

12. Steel Magnolias. I often see about five seconds of it...

13. The Godfather and The Goonies.
Those are the two I can think of off the top of my head. I'm positive there's more, but I can't think of them right now.

Apparently, I'm some sort of freak for having never seen The Goonies all the way through. :shrug:

26. Yes. Yes you are.
But so is one of my best friends ever... She LOVES The Goonies, and her brother went to where they filmed some of it in Oregon and took a ton of pictures for her.

Maybe I'm not enough of a child these days to enjoy such a movie, or I would have watched it long ago. :P

17. Austin Powers movies
Ugh, I couldn't watch more than about 6 minutes. I just don't do stupid. :shrug:

Rocky movies (haven't seen more than about 15 minutes, at the most, of any of 'em). Not a Stallone fan.

20. Psycho
I was around 12 years old the first time I watched it....up late at night alone. I didn't make it past the shower scene. I've caught parts of it since then but have never watched the entire movie.

31. The first 10 minutes of Oh Brother has one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen.
After George Clooney makes it into the boxcar, the look on his face as he gets dragged out is priceless.

And I always come in at the same part, too.

32. Years ago when I had cable and watched the American Movie Classics channel
they would repeat the movies so frequently that I would often manage to catch a complete movie in 4 or 5 viewings, but rarely all at once since I knew it would be on again, and again.
