It can be quite handy for things like water shots or car shots. Anything that has reflected light.
For instance, say you are shooting a water scene but the light from the sun is bouncing off the water and over exposing your shot. You rotate the filter until it cuts out the light reflecting off the water.
It will allow you to see through the glare and into the water as well.
Polarizing filter also give a colour saturation boost. But be careful they can make your sky look unnatural.
The also give a contrast boost great for bringing out detail in clouds and so on.
