I can understand your frustration with unskipable movies, as i grew in a time when you could always use "Esc" key to skip them. Unfortunately the problem is widespread to a lot of the new games from various AAA developers/publishers. You can voice your discontent in a civil manner. And if there is a lot of negative feedback sent in a civil way, the companies will noticed it and will backpedal eventually.
If you want to play some good NFS (though the graphics might be dated by now), i recommend NFS Underground 1/2, Most Wanted 2005 and even Carbon. Those were, in my opinion, some of the best games in the series. My personal best remains Porsche Unleashed, followed closely by the original Hot Pursuit (NFS3, released in 1998).
If you are looking for PC racing games, there are some decent simulators, but in the illegal street racing/arcade area, nothing really on par with those NFS games that i've mentioned. Even on console, there are only two competing series and none with illegal street racing. There was one series, but for now it seems to be on-hold for a long time☹️
