Not a phone, but back in high school I had an iPod Video (5th gen). On a trip to a one act competition, my friend and I duct taped my iPod to the bus seat and watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Actually she tried to watch it, I fell asleep and she got a lovely picture of me passed out, mouth agape, forehead next to the lying next to the affixed iPod.
My old Cherokee had an aftermarket 3.5" or 4" screen to go with its in-dash DVD player. I can’t tell you how many movies I watched on that tiny little thing while working security stakeouts. A phone with audio to the speaker system would have been an upgrade.
It’s like time traveling back to when I was a kid and had a 10"-14" TV in my room (when I wasn’t misbehaving)…but worse as it’s now a 5"-6" screen I have to hold. But at least it’s color now.
I do this if I don’t have any shows that I want to watch while I’m at work. Mainly for background noise, and mainly something I’ve already watched and don’t mind missing part of.

@shawn_mitch I used to watch movies on my Ipod Touch but it’s been a very long time.
I used to watch filmstrips on my Show’N Tell but it’s been a very VERY long time.
Voluntarily watching a movie on a phone may well be the most millennial-defining thing one can do.
A movie? No. But I will routinely watch TV shows or sporting events on my phone through various streaming apps.

Watch a movie on a phone? Why would I do that when I have 3 TVs (2 of them smart TVs) to watch? Maybe if I was a teenager and bored.
Three TVs? You must have extra large pockets.

i can barely sit through a one minute instagram video on my phone…so no lol.
although when it comes to movies i can barely sit through an entire one on our nice big tv, so. (but binging six hours of a series, this is fine.)
If a screen was big enough for me to watch things, it would be too big for my stubby fingers to hold onto it… Catch-22

Maybe if delayed in an airport. But I normally have my tablet with me so I’d watch stuff on that instead.
