And while this may sound really weird, I kind of enjoy listening to movies w/out watching them.

Yes!

I used to be a semi-professional photographer (back in the days before digital cameras) and this involved a lot of darkroom work. I had an FM radio that could be tuned in such a fashion as to pick up a harmonic of one of the local TV station's audio.

I found that I could nearly always "watch" a movie or TV program without benefit of video. In fact, it is much easier to watch and understand a movie with audio and no video than it is the other way around.
