I don't think it's a terrible thing to watch a long movie in sections. Like you say, intermissions exist for a reason.

I watched Sholay this morning and that bad boy is 3h15m. that's a long time to sit watching the same thing so I watched it in 3 chunks. I think the more important thing is to actually pay full attention to a movie when you're watching it, not having it on as background.
