Are There Movie Scenes You FF or Skip?

Don't ever watch I Spit on Your Grave. You'll be FF'ing most of the movie.

The only movie I FF is actually not on BD, yet. On the DVD "It's All Gone Pete Tong" I FF the scene where the main character (Frankie Wilde) wakes up from a night of DJ-ing and he's so coked up that he coughs and has a huge loogie hanging from his nose. This lasts about 2 minutes while the wife is dialoging asking him about interior design. I can't watch that!!!

I usually skip the ludovico treatment scenes in A Clockwork Orange. I don't enjoy watching those scenes

Sorry, I love the movie it's one of my favorites! Just scenes involving the eye like that bother me.

The gungan battle in The Phantom Menace, it ruins the entire finale.

I defintley agree! It practically ruins the climax of the light saber duel for me. There is plenty of stuff I would skip on the Special Editions of the OT but I only watch the theatrical versions anymore, I don't really count it for me.

Yeah, that movie is brutal. But, without the rape scenes there would be no movie to film.

I liked the film, but, not enough to own it or watch it over and over.

I don't always do it as I do enjoy the complete versions but I'll often watch Superman: The Movie by skipping ahead to Clark Kent's arrival to the Daily Planet, skipping ahead to Bruce Wayne's homecoming in Batman Begins (I've waited years and years for Batman's origin story and realised I didn't care.... I wish Nolan had been bolder with the temporal editing and had Batman straight at the beginning!) and everything apart from the modern day stuff in Highlander (it flies by!).

or Irreversible for that matter

Out of all 500+ blu-rays I own, I fast-forwarded only through one Blu-ray - the dolphin-killing scene in White Squall.

[ObiWanShinobi]

Neh. If I felt the need to fast forward through the same scene every time I watched "said movie" I'd feel silly owning the movie to begin with.

Thats just me though.

I don't mean to be a jerk or anything, but this discussion may be more suited the the movie subforum, rather than the blu-ray one.

As to not be off-topic, I'll add an amusing anecdote. When I was a kid I always fast forwarded through The Lost World after the compy attack until they were back on the island to skip the "boring" parts (damn it, I wanted to see dinosaurs!). Likewise, although I loved horror movies, I would watch them holding the remote on the stop button, in case I panicked. I could also tell that I was probably a bit too young to watch them because I always skipped the sex scenes (strange how my upbringing could bring me guilt, even when I was completely alone).

I always fast forward the first hour of Peter Jaclson's King Kong. It's the perfect movie after that first hour. The last time I watched KK in it's entirety was probably back in 2006 testing out the Xbox 360 HD DVD player.

[ctyank]

I stop watching Desperado after the Salma Hayek picks up our hero on the street. The movie loses all of its edge. And Office Space just isn't the same after they destroy the printer. I skip the rest of the film altogether. That said, I love both movies and I own both on Blu.

And yeah... this probably does belong in another folder.

I usually hit rewind for that film.

Pretty much all the torture scenes in Saw. It's one of those movies where the stories are great and really interesting. Weird as it may be, I watch it more for the plot than the violence.

Whenever I watch Ironman 2 I skip the chapter with the birthday party. With that out it's a pretty watchable movie.

I like the birthday party scene. Any reason you didn't like it?

There isnt one thing I like about it. I dont like him wearing the suit at the party. I dont like the fight that destroys the house (mainly because it was un Rhody-like). I don't like his descent into Maudlinman. He had the right idea in the previous scene..."maybe we should cancel the party".
