Once I start watching a movie I can usually sit through it fine.
My main issue with movies is that I feel kind of scared of starting to watch them, because I'm commiting the next two hours to doing only that. When I read or surf the net I can stop whenever I want, and TV shows engage me for only 1/2 - 1 hour.
Fear of commitment? :lol:

I love to watch movies however, if the movie is boring, i can't stand to watch at all. Even when I'm watching a movie I love I have to be doing something like eating, reading, playing game, or anything else. However, I'm very picky when it comes to movies because I can get bored very fast.

I'm pretty much the same, if a movie is boring it doesn't matter if it lasts ten minutes, it will feel like days and I will be going out of my mind. However, a good movie will never feel overlong. Although generally my concentration span is very very short.

It depends if I'm in the mood for a long movie.

Usually, if it's a long movie I prefer or would like to watch, I sit and watch and my mind doesn't wander off the slightest.

If I'm forced to watch a long movie I don't want to, my mind wanders off.

Movies are long. It really has to get my attention for me to watch the whole thing (usually comedies are the best bet). I leave the room for 'just a second' to do something, get sidetracked by a few other things and sometimes forget to come back! (Sometimes that happens with tv shows too.) Either that or I fall asleep while hubby watches the rest of the movie.
