I used to rip the audio of my favourite movies and listen to them like audiobooks. Because I was usally familiar with the visual parts, I could enjoy the dialogue and the music in a different way.

I frequently 'watch' TV Shows and movies by just listening to them. It's a habit I picked up as a kid since I was blind.

I tried making a podcast of narrated Let's Plays. There are similar YouTube channels if one doesn't mind listening with the screen off or out of sight.
