Name a movie you walked out of before it was half over with.

[begin_within]

I for one, could not take more than 45 minutes of "The English Patient," I was so bored. Then it won best picture at the next Academy Awards! WTF?

[Sanity Claws]

1. Men in Black

Well, I turned it off at home. I sorta knew that it wasn't my kind of movie.

[mwooldri]

33. Be thankful you're not the mother of one of my 2nd nephew's.

He was into Men in Black ad-nauseum. It wasn't Barney, or Sesame St, or something as tame as that. He wore out the videotape with the number of times he watched it.

Mark.

[nashbridges]

78. no no, do what I did

Sleep through the entire thing in the theater. I was with 10 friends and I fell asleep ten minutes into it.

[Texasgal]

2. The crying game...

Ended up watching ALL of it another time... to my distain. :(

[RevCheesehead]

3. "Richard Pryor Live"

after about 15 minutes, my friends and I got up and left. We decided we were funnier.

[sasquatch]

110. Why do you hate America?

:cry:

[dolo amber]

4. RoboCop

And I *LOVE* robots! x(

[Fenris]

9. ...

:spray:

[DanCa]

10. Ditto

[BlueJazz]

58. Double Ditto.. Blasphemy!!

[HornBuckler]

83. You are friggin's mad!

One of the best movies in it's genre of all time...... You probably hated Conan the Barbarian too..... Jesus Wept

[WeRQ4U]

5. Two of them: The Hours and Old School

I liked Old School for a while, but then I became just sick of it and I didn't care to see any more. And I'm usually one to LOVE dumb humor.

The hours, well, I had decided I wasn't going to sit through that shit before the end of the opening credits. I eventually left after about 20 minutes.

[tigereye]

18. The Hours was a really long slog

it was good, but very intense. What, you don't like "chick" films about Virginia Woolf, and deconstructionist weirdness?

not entirely sure the filmmaker got away with it.

[LostinVA]

48. LOVED "The Hours"

[skygazer]

6. The Matrix

*ducks and hides* Yeah, I know, everyone tells me I'm nuts but I've tried watching it several times and it just does nothing for me.

[SofaKingLiberal]

14. .

[stlsaxman]

7. JFK

Kostner monologuing for 1 hour and 15 minute was plenty for me, thank you very much. it was a three hour movie so i guess it qualifies.

Also- there was a movie my ex and i rented called "Shadowland"(?) and Alan Rickman walks up behind a seated woman and boxes her ears. We turned it off immediately.

[tigereye]

19. oh Shadowland is supposed to be great

I've always wanted to see that.

[begin_within]

29. "Shadowlands" (1993) is a good one!

[LostinVA]

46. Alan Rickman isn';t in "Shadowlands"

That about C.S. Lewis and his wife, and stars Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger.

It's a very good movie, btw.

[Broken_Hero]

8. for me...

Titanic, Star Trek 5, and Deep Impact....what a waste of my hard earned minimum wage dollars...:(

[Arkana]

11. Never walked out of a movie. I paid the cash, I'm going to sit there.

[DanCa]

12. Anything starring Pauly Shore (except son in law)

[Fenris]

13. I enjoy a good bad movie.

I never leave, I just stick around the theater and loudly mock movies I don't like.

[nashbridges]

79. You're THAT guy?

Man, I don't like you. Let us appreciate wasting our 11 bucks in peace.

[LSK]

15. what dreams may come

I tried, but it was really a WTF moment.

[SeattleGirl]

16. Didn't walk out, but fell asleep during "Nightmare Before Christmas"

Twice! First time in the theatre, second time when Mr. SG got the DVD. I have never fallen asleep in a theatre before. Don't know what it is about that movie, but it's like taking a sleeping pill when I tried to watch it. :boring:

[Xipe Totec]

17. The Exorcist

During the projectile vomiting scene...


... Had to do a chorus :puke:

[HornBuckler]

86. WHAT???

Oh Man, Jesus, Great Film!!!!

[Xipe Totec]

101. Of course it was great

I meant what I posted literally; the scene got to me so much, that I had to run to the bathroom and upchuck.

[WCGreen]

20. Best Friends with Mary Tyler Moore and Red Danson...

It was suppose to be a tragic romance...

I laughed out loud it was sooooo bad.... I had to leave....

[In_The_Wind]

23. Okay ...

That's another movie I won't waste time or money on.

[WCGreen]

24. Oh it's horrible...

If you were to, say for instance, and I'm not casting and suspision, but say you were really high or really drunk or really mind altered in some way or another....

It might be good for a few snicks...

[trof]

21. "High Anxiety"

[histohoney]

22. Xtro

The first one. I walked out AND demanded my money back. They gave me half back. I was on a date,he hated it to.

[Robb]

25. Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

More remarkably, I saw it at a multiplex where it cost $2 to get in. And we had already seen another movie and snuck into this one.

Not even worth the fraction of $2.

[Ron Mexico]

26. Tin Cup

Indescribably bad.

[UTUSN]

27. Barefoot in the Park n/t

[CanuckAmok]

28. Moulin Rouge.

:wtf:

[marions ghost]

38. Not a Moulin Rouge fan here either

sometimes people want to rent it. I've never been able to get through it even once.

[LostinVA]

47. Me either... I hated it, and I love musicals

[swag]

95. Great choice.

Such a piece of shit!

[QuettaKid]

114. WHAT!?!??! Moulin Rouge ....

BLASPHEMERS!!!!!:P :P :P :P

[rustydog]

30. Viva Knievel...Life story of Evel Knievel..worst ever

[Draill]

31. Hollow Man n/t

[last_texas_dem]

97. That's the one for me, too

It's the only movie I can think of that I would have had no problem walking out of at the theater. Problem was I wasn't the one driving so I was stuck there...

[mwooldri]

32. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

We walked out of this one after 20 minutes and got our money back.

The next worst film I remember seeing is Napoleon Dynamite. I only stayed through it because we were literally killing time before another engagement.

Mark.

[last_texas_dem]

98. I didn't "get" Napoleon Dynamite either

It did interest me enough that I wanted to stay with it until the end, but I just didn't find it nearly as funny as most people did. Or particularly funny at all, really...

[PassingFair]

34. I have seen many bad movies, but the only one that I PAID for ...

and walked out on was:

Ta-Dum:

Fellini's Casanova.

Saw it again years later, and it was just as horrible as I'd remembered.

Yuk.

[calico1]

35. I wanted very much to walk out on

"Summer of Sam" but the masochist in me compelled me to stay. Bad movies can have that effect on me. When a movie really sucks sometimes I just have to watch it to the end just so that I am convinced of how much it really sucked.:silly:

[TK421]

36. Being John Malkovich

just-plain-stupid

[BlueIris]

37. Swing Kids.

I reconsidered after I watched it on HBO, but at the time: stoooopid. The local moview reviewer for my city called it "The Newsies go to war," and I'd say that's about right.

[Rabrrrrrr]

39. Never done it, but I would have left "Nemesis" if it weren't Star Trek

I only sat through all of that one because it was Star Trek, even though it was unadulterated shit.

I'm a pretty good judge of movies, I think - I've never hit a movie that was really bad (except Nemesis; and thankfully I didn't see "First Contact" in the theaters, or I would have been tempted to leave that one as well).

[benny05]

40. This is different from Videos returned right?

Meet the Fockers last year, mainly because the projection was so shitty.

For videos, I watched "Boris and Natasha". It sucked so bad after 10 minutes that I stopped it, rewound it, and returned it 30 minutes after arriving home with it.

[begin_within]

63. Well, walking out after you've paid $8.50 is a statement. Stopping a DVD

or tape after 15 minutes after you've paid $2.50 to rent it is still saying something, but not with quite the impact as leaving the theater.

[BlueIris]

41. Here's one I WISH I'd bailed on: The Village.

And how. I was PISSED when the "suspenseful 'twist'" was revealed.

[uppityperson]

42. Last Tango in Paris. Got tired of waiting for The Scene

stupid movie, got tired of waiting for sex scene so left.

[bridgit]

43. exorcist III...

x(

[bridgit]

44. oh & jurassic park II...

x(

[seemunkee]

45. Chicago and The Lonely Lady

[mokawanis]

49. Top Gun

What a steamy pile o' crap
Oh, and that damn movie about a pig - Milo and Otis
even my kids hated it

[hyphenate]

55. Milo and Otis wasn't about a pig

it was about a kitten and a pug on an island having an adventure. If you are talking about a pig, you're either thinking of one of the two Babe movies, or about another one, Gordy, that came out the same year as the first Babe movie.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

50. Never done it, but came SO close with "Batman and Robin"

and I fell asleep during X-men.

[hyphenate]

51. Well,

I can name two I would have liked to have walked out on, but just didn't want to waste money in one case, and on the other was seeing it with people and couldn't exactly walk out.

Blair Witch was a piece of shit, and I was getting nauseous seeing it. If I weren't with my niece when I saw it, I would have left.

The other was War of the Worlds. The amount of violence in it was horrendous, and I just couldn't take much more of it. A friend of mine liked it enough to see it twice, but give me the Gene Barry and Anne Robinson version any time.

There are others where the amount of gore disturbs me, but very few where that graphic violence actually turns my stomach. I tend to avoid horror movies like the plague for that reason, but WotW was just too openly intense in that area for me to be comfortable.

[bigwillq]

52. dupe

sorry

[bigwillq]

53. dupe again

sorry

[bigwillq]

54. I never walked out on a movie.

That's just me though.

[Evergreen Emerald]

56. I not only walked out--I got my money back: Neighbors with

John Belushi. It was the worst movie I have ever partially seen. When I asked for my money back the cashier said he was surprised more people weren't asking for their money back!

[nashbridges]

88. But...Best movie quote ever!

"Are you the guy the maoufted off to my fadder?"

The movie made absolutely no sense. I guess you could get away with that in the late 70's - early 80's.

I watched it again a year ago, and I didn't find any of it funny beyond the random quote. I'm guessing that when it was released it was supposed to be an in joke on people who watched movies.

[Evergreen Emerald]

94. Lol...you are funny

I don't remember one line from it. The fact that you watched all the way through not just once, but twice shows your tenacity (or extreme boredom).

[DainBramaged]

57. Napoleon Dynamite, my daughter hated it

[atomic-fly]

60. you must rent it ....it grows on you.

[DainBramaged]

71. I'd rather fungus grow on me to be truthful (roflol)

[atomic-fly]

116. Did you really get on the floor and roll and laugh?

[atomic-fly]

59. Waterworld...luckily it was only 99 cents.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

61. Muriels Wedding

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[begin_within]

64. I thought that one was amusing. Oh well.

[Scout1071]

69. One of my all time favorite movies.

To each their own.

[Scout1071]

70. Streets of Fire.

Circa mid '80's.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

72. Did you go with a guy?

[Scout1071]

73. No. And I've seen it probably a dozen times.

I love that Aussie humor. So quirky.

[bliss_eternal]

80. Nice to find another Muriel's Wedding fan--

I saw that movie SO many times-in the theater! Just kept going back to see it over and over, that's rare for me.

One of my all time faves, too! :hi:

[NMMNG]

102. One of my favorites too n/t

[jonnyblitz]

93. fucking abba's "dancing queen"played over and over

and over and over and over and over....I couldnt get past THAT. What a horrible thing to be subjected to! BLEH!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

62. Transylvania 6-5000

An atrocious movie, "starring" Jeff Goldblum. He rampaged his way through the scenes acting like he did NOT want to be there. Neither did I. I left after half an hour.

That's the only flick I've ever abandoned.

[Misunderestimator]

65. Coming to America

[hibbing]

66. sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band

Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees, enough said.

Peace

[Awsi Dooger]

67. Some piece of crap with Schwarzenegger

Maybe 10 years ago. I barely stomached 5 minutes and can't remember the title. I was literally trying to walk out of the aisle while others were coming in. I walked into a different movie, an enjoyable low budget comedy.

Last May I would have walked out of two or three garbage action movies but they were free on a cruise so I sat there and wondered how they ever made it to screen.

I would have walked out of Pulp Fiction except it was so predictable and incompetent I was actually enjoying how pathetic it was. And the original Batman in '89 made me want to hit the exit within minutes but I was with my family and we were stuck in a cramped Lake Tahoe theater on the inside seats. That was absolute misery.

[Ramsey]

68. Halloween III

It was so grotesquely gratuitously gross and violent, I wanted to throw up 20 minutes in, so I left.

[B Calm]

74. Damn... I can't remember the name of the movie, it was about

the olympics or something...

[HornBuckler]

87. If yer talking

Prefontaine, your a mad man!

[Vidar]

75. The Matrix

[NNadir]

76. Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I was in my twenties. I don't know what I must have been thinking. I made 10 minutes, maybe.

[benny05]

100. I think one had to be really sick or

drug induced to see the original. I did not, but my siblings did.

[BigMcLargehuge]

77. Uncle Buck

Sixteen Candles
The Breakfast Club
Top Gun
Footloose
Flashdance
Cocktail

[HornBuckler]

84. You forgot

to turn the /sarcasm off

UNCLE BUCK??? Are you friggin' Mad??? Great movie, GREAT movie.

[BigMcLargehuge]

89. I stayed all the way through Jaws 4, Superman 4, and

9 Deaths of the Ninja, but I just can't friggin stand John Hughes' films.

So I walked out of it. It wasn't funny.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

81. Shakespeare in Love

lame.

and my date thought so too.

[bliss_eternal]

82. The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, The Fifth Element

Clockers

The Jungle Book (feature film, not animated version by Disney)

Should have walked out on:
Apt Pupil (what a piece of shit that movie was...)

Rentals I wish I had walked out on:

AI-Artificial Intelligence (Two plus hours, I will never get back...:grr:)

[0007]

85. "The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit"

[LeftyMom]

90. Bram Stoker's Dracula

and I have a bit of a vampire movie fetish, so that's really saying something. I think I managed to sit through John Carpenter's Vampires, but I'm not positive. I know I wanted to leave that one.

[spacelady]

91. The Elephant Man, but I think the sound was so bad I could not

understand a word that was said, so maybe it was the theater.

[MarianJack]

106. It Was The Theatre.

Great movie. I didn't want to see it, my date did. I liked it, she didn't. Go figure.

[Flying Dream Blues]

92. Revenge of the Nerds. Only movie I've ever left. It was BAD.

[Swamp Rat]

96. Spider-man

Hollywood and Marvel Comics ruined the whole story. Kwaku Anansi isn't a white suburban kid. :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anansi

[JohnnyCougar]

99. Con Air - and it only took me about 10 minutes

[Strong Atheist]

103. Time Bandits.

The whole audience where we were hated it. Luckily, after fifteen minutes the projector broke, and the audience demanded their money back en masse.

[raccoon]

109. I walked out on that one too. nt

[Strong Atheist]

115. Good! We agree! nt.

[Kire]

104. Lantana

Anthony LaPaglia goes jogging in the Australian suburbs. It made me very angry for some reason. Maybe it was a bad day for me or something because it's getting good reviews.

Also, U-Turn and Ernest Goes to Jail

[datasuspect]

105. the green mile

[MarianJack]

107. Interiors

Worst. Woody. Allen. Ever!

If my wife and I weren't on a double date, it would have also been "Beloved". We also wanted to run to the car and shoot ourselves over an art house piece of crap from last summer called "Me and You and Everyone We Know". And ChicaAzul and I like art house movies!

[Lumily]

108. Gung Ho.

I think I saw at least half of it before I gave up.

[kick-ass-bob]

111. My Own Private Idaho.

It was the only one I ever left.
(It was at a campus $1 theater)

[kwassa]

112. Gone with the Wind

and so was I.

I frankly didn't give a damn long before Rhett Butler.

[GumboYaYa]

113. Anchorman....

We didn't even make it half way through that one. I generally don't like inane comedies, but think Will Farrell is a funny guy, so we tried taht one. Not worth the $2.00 at the video rental place.
