Not really sure what the "avi" option is supposed to mean, but no, not generally, too small and if I'm somewhere long enough to watch a movie I'll probably have my laptop with me.
 
I watched four on an airplane when it was a quick vacation and I didn't want to tote my 15" MBP. But I also found it to small and don't think I would do it again.
 
I don't watch them on my iPhone but only due to storage issues.
I watch them all the time though on my iPod Touch.
 
There should be just a straight "no" option. Its too small and its too much of a hassle when we have iPads or Laptops.
 
I suppose if I am at the airport or on a flight, I may watch a movie--probably one of my favorites I have on blu ray that I would just put a low res copy on my phone--or use Netflix--but I haven't needed to as of yet.
 
As the option says, "yes, but only a few times" & that was before I got my iPad.
The novelty wore off very quickly...
 
Until recently never, but now I've dragged my sorry ass back to the gym I've started watching films on my phone while dying on treadmill.
 
Yes, the higher resolution of the iPhone 4 screen makes it a little easier to watch a full length movie than in the past--but I agree its not ideal. I do it when I visit Boston a few times a year since the trip is 5 hours or more.

Since my iPhone is my only unlimited data device its pretty much the only choice if I want to stream a netflix movie or HBO Go over 3G.
 
Never.

The screen is too small, and with a 47" LED HDTV at home - I prefer to wait.

Short video clips are my limit.
 
Nahhh, too small, if I'm anywhere that I have time to watch movies (traveling etc), my 13" MBP will be with me anyway.

Yes, we can watch Full Movies on iPhone. its very nice to see Movie on iPhone.
 
I have only watched a couple of movies on my iPhone. As others have said, the screen is too small.

If I watch it with earplugs in and the sound is good, I have no problems with the smaller screen. It's do-able!
 
I've tried it a few times watching it from YouTube uploads or some streaming site.

Not my preference. My eyes get watery and I get sleepy. I can't even watch entire movies on my PSP with its 4.3 inch screen. Always my TV for movies with sometimes using my 5-year old laptop even if the resolution is poorer to the actual movie quality.

But I do have TV shows on my iPhone. I can tolerate 20 min shows much better. I have Family Guy Seasons 4-7 (70+ eps) and the entire 13 episodes of the Lucy & Desi Comedy Hour which runs at 50 min I downloaded from YouTube. For me to keep a video that takes up the most space, it needs to have great replay value. If I only plan to watch it once, I never keep it. That's why I don't have any movies on my iPhone anymore. Too long, takes up too much space, and won't view it that often. My iPhone is mostly filled with some of my favorite YouTube videos that run no longer than 3-5 minutes.
