Name some movie scenes from any movie that are forgettable or filler or boring or have some quality that makes them okay to miss so that we know when to go and use the bathroom during them.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory- The "Cheer Up Charlie" song sung by Charlie's mom. Just don't even get me started on that song. Go to the bathroom then.
I've heard it done told that the first film to show someone sitting on a toilet was "Fun With Dick And Jane" (1977) with Jane Fonda and George Segal. I don't know if it's true...
Best scene: "Along Came Polly" (2004)
That is an interesting factoid but if it was the first time such a thing was shown I suspect the audience would have found that very interesting and would not have gotten up to go to the bathroom then.
Thank you for your entry nonetheless. Perhaps I will start a thread someday about potty scenes.
The first movie someone flush the toilet is Psycho (1960).
Miami Connection- The biker rally scene has no purpose and its just there to fill out the running time.
shareAll scenes are mandatory in this important film! And remember, only through the elimination of violence can we achieve world peace!
shareThank you. It's reassuring to know I can drink a full cup of water during this movie with a pre-advised time to use the bathroom during its run.
shareAll the Twilight movies.
Can sit on the throne for all of them.
At least that's what I'm told.
Well, during Mary Poppins Returns in the theater, I had to go really bad and ran out during the Meryl Streep number. I did see it later and felt I hadn't missed much.
shareA musical number can be a good time to step away. As much as I love listening to music and even a few movies that are musicals, on the whole I'm not that crazy about musical numbers in films.
shareIn that case, in the original "Mary Poppins" movie, that scene where the old men in the bank sing to convince Michael to give his two pence to start a bank account could qualify as a really boring scene where you could go to the bathroom.
shareGetting to be an old prude. I don't particularly like 'love-making' scenes.
Here's a disturbing bathroom scene, though, if you're a horror fan :

I watched 3 seconds of that and decided I would be wise to turn back. After watching far too much of a video the other day of a person being eaten by an escalator I knew when to say when.
I might get up and go to the bathroom if I were at home during a love making scene but I probably wouldn't if I were at a theater. I might get distracted and fall down the stairs.
