The Flashblock extension is great to allow these flash's to be displayed, while blocking all the other annoying animated ads.


Not all the flashes out there are just "movies" :-)
 

But 99% of them are unnecessary, the same effect could be achived with plain old HTML. The end result might be more boring, but just as informational/useful.

Unfortunately to often websites feel more about style over substance, if I wanted overly shiny jumping and flashing stuff allover my screen I would use OSX or KDE ;)

And it doesn't help that flash sucks up ram like no ones business.
