...enjoy letting a film play on all the way through the end credits?
If it's a good film--one that you enjoy--I feel that letting the movie run all the way through the end credits enhances the overall experience. You get information about the production, though I don't always read it all (EDIT: actually, I never really try to read every single credit, it's hard to do that, but sometimes I'm just waiting for the info I want, and kind of assessing the manner in which the info is displayed). And you have the music--the score (EDIT: though of course sometimes it isn't the score per se, sometimes it's a chosen song, like with Goodfellas and Brick, and certain television shows like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos)--helping to give closure to the experience.
Most people I know do not share my enthusiasm for end credits.
Here are some examples of movies to watch all the way through--
--Fargo
--Requiem For a Dream
--Eyes Wide Shut
--Heat
--There Will Be Blood
And there are so many more. Does anyone know what I mean?

I used to watch the credits for older films. I'd notice familiar names, like Costumes by Edith Head.
Nowadays, it's too much.
But sticking around to listen to the film score is an interesting angle.
I'm a big music fan, and I (sort of) understand the importance of a good score.
But that's not what I think of when I go to a film, what the music is going to sound like.
That's a bonus.

I do, and I motivate myself by counting all the Steves.
