Great movies you've seen pieces of but never the full film

Whiplash

I’ve heard Wall-E and Up were great movies. But I’ve only seen bits and pieces in passing when my kids were watching it.

Should I take the time to actually watch them?

I'm pretty sure I have never seen Shawshank all the way through, but I've seen it probably 10 times total

I have zero interest in watching random portions of a potentially great movie. I would be depriving myself of the experience of watching it as the director intended.

The best I can do is "Two Guns" (filmed in SELA). I had no interest in seeing it, but my parents would have it on all the time at their house when I visited. I've seen most of the film, and it was fairly entertaining, but not something that I care to go back and watch in full.

Get in there man! 107 minutes and it feels like it’s half that. Good watch

Red Dawn

Love David Lean movies....

Lawrence of Arabia is my #1 movie of all-time....But I just can't make it through....



Despite a cup of Coffee and some Jiffy Pop. Tried 3 times, saw the ending once....its the middle parts I miss because I don't have insomnia.

I've seen a fair number of movies (and TV shows) but many of the greats I've never seen. Or, as mentioned in the thread subject line, not seen properly start to finish.

B&W movies, like Psycho or The Maltese Falcon, for example, no chance. I know if it's a real classic, I'm either sitting down and watching the whole thing or not at all.

The man who shot Liberty Valance, Rear Window, Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, of course. Seen them. And many others.

But 'great' movies? Casablanca comes to mind.

The list of movies I've not seen at ALL though, is kinda long. Good movies, Academy nominated and such.

The Godfather

A clockwork orange. Not even pieces.
