I think that the only movie that I have ever walked out on was All Dogs Go to Heaven. I was really young and I just started crying a lot when the dog died in the beginning and we had to leave. I still haven't watched the whole thing. There are a bunch of movies that I wish I walked out on though.

1. Ghost Rider (Daredevil sucked, but I watched the whole thing. This movie was just plain rotten)

2. Troy (Goddamn awful dreck. And Boring)

3. Me, Myself and Irene (I walked out in the theater but watched it later on DVD and it wasn't that bad, I guess)

4. Robots (I watched this on DVD later too, but it was just as boring as when I walked out of the theater. Beautifully animated though-a shame it sucked)

5. The Devil's Rejects (I think the movie was already almost over, but when they started playing FreeBird I just booked it out of there)

I don't mind Joel Siegel walking out of a movie...I mind that he announced it as he was leaving, interrupting everyone else's enjoyment of the film. I believed he yelled "First movie I've walked out of in 20 years." That was rude and uncalled for.

And I've never walked out of a movie, though I feel I am a trooper for not leaving during the third Matrix (I think I may have entered a coma preventing me from doing so)

I have never walked out on a movie in the theater (just haven't, sorry). There have been a number of films that I've watched on DVD via fast-forward (Monkeybone being probably the worst of these).

I almost walked out of Spawn, though. I think if I could have talked the friend sitting next to me into it, I would have. But my cajones weren't made of brass, then, just tin foil and thus I sat. And hated.

I've only walked out on a few films

1. Joe Hollywood. I was in High School and thought it would be very subversive and dark but was bored out of my mind. I still have no idea if its any good or not.

2. Wayne's World 2. I still have no idea how my friends talked me into sitting in a theatre whilst tripping and watching something so mundane. It didn't last long.

Those were ancient history.

3. Chronicles of Riddick. I left as soon as Riddick et al outran a fucking sunrise. (The Day After Tomorrow would have recieved the same treatment when they outran cold but my ride wanted to stay. Bastard.)

4. Evan Almighty. Why'd you do me like that Steve Carrell? WHY!? Not a big loss tho since I had promotional tickets and the only seats left would have given me a wicked crick in the neck had we stayed.

Batman and Robin-- God was that bad.

I've only walked out on two movies, I don't see nearly as many films in the theater as I used to in the late 90's.

1. A.I.-I wasted about 45 minutes of my vacation at the Jersey shore for this and am still pissed at Spielberg. Fuck you up the goat ass, Stevie.

2. Dracula: Dead and Loving It-don't judge, it was Mel Brooks! My girlfriends and I didn't hate it, we were just ansty to get back home and play Mall Madness or something.

Oh God. I can't believe I'm putting this out there....but the only movie I have ever walked out on is...Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The one with Rutger "I haven't done anything good since Blind Fury" Hauer, Paul "Motherfucking" Reubens...and Luke "Metric Ton of Hair Gel" Perry.

I never walked out of a movie but I fell asleep during Batman and Robin so that should count.

I would've walked out of Nacho Libre, but I was with another person who seemed to be enjoying it (I don't know how or why...), so i couldn't really. Other than that I don't think I ever have.

I've never walked out on a movie, always wanting to get my money's worth. But I went through a spell where I would fall asleep through crappy movies. Two that come to mind are Jabberwalkie (sp?), the old Monty Pythonesque movie from the 70's, and Get Shorty. I don't see movies in the theater anymore (I just don't have time or patience for the movies in the theater lifestyle), so my other equivalent would be DVD's that I don't finish, which also happens rarely. The last one was Nacho Libre. What a pile of crap. Not even so bad that it was good.

The only one I can remember walking out on was Pink Flamingos. That was a long time ago -- 25 years now I come to think about it. I may have given the heave-ho to one or two since then but like Dustin says, you never forget your first.

1. A Perfect Storm (I am severely non-ADD and the storm sequence was just too friggin much for me)
2. The Secret Window (screwdriver into dog, I was done)
3. Larry The Cable Guy (had to wait in the lobby for an hour to drive home the jackass who took me to it- they finished the entire movie.)
4. The Garden State (the theater sold beer, and I still had to walk out.)
5. The Lord of the Rings: All of Them (love the books, couldn't pay me to watch the movies)

I had blocked out a lot of this, so- thanks! haha
Next can we do: Movies you vowed to never see, but are SO glad you did?

Boogeyman...I got dragged to it, didn't want to be there.

1) The James Bond movie with Denise Richards in it.

2) Ghost Rider. I wanted to leave almost immediately, but I toughed it out until he finally turned into Ghost Rider. Then, when I saw the animated gif for a head they played of as a special effect, that was the final nail.

3) Clerks 2! Joel and I are together on that pile of crap. It was the dancing on the roof that killed it. I mean, I stuck around for that part just because, let's be fair, Rosario Dawson's breasts bouncing up and down is far from the worst thing in the movie, but the scene itself was like Smith admitting he'd been a hack all along.

Sliver, I Heart Huckabees

I've never walked out on a movie, mostly cause I'm broke enough to try to only see movies I actually really want to see. I've fallen asleep (from exhaustion, not boredom) during more rented movies than I can remember, though, but they were usually good ones like Annie Hall. It's annoying, cause I've seen only seen half of a bunch of classic movies.

License to Wed - a few weeks ago. First time. Walking out made me feel like I was on top of the world. Went out and got drunk instead.

1. Agent Cody Banks (don't look at me like that, it was my roommate's birthday wish)

2. Hostel (my date and I made a pact that one more set of horrific plastic boobies shoved in our face and we were leaving. The movie, of course, delivered).

I think the only movie I've ever walked out on was "Van Helsing" - although, to be fair, the reason why I walked out was because the power was cut off 15 minutes in. I didn't go back, though,it was that awful. Here are some movies I WISHED I walked out on:
-"Star Wars Episode 1"
-"The Blair Witch Project" (first movie I actually TRIED to fall asleep during)
-"Troy"
-"Matrix Reloaded" (the naked orgy disco scene left me speechless...and not in a good way)

Meet the Robinsons...I don't know how you could make a cartoon so damn confusing. As soon as the family was introduced, I bounced before my head exploded.

I confess I'm a weenie -- I've never gotten it together to walk out of a movie. If it's really bad I usually just enjoy making fun of it.

I should have walked out on End of Days with The Arnold and Gabriel Byrne, but I couldn't bring myself to do it -- Gabriel Byrne is just too damn hot, no matter what dreck he's spewing.

I wish I'd walked out of "Soapbox" (the one with Sally Field and Kevin Kline as soap opera stars).

I usually won't walk out in a theatre because it's usually something I really really want to see. Anymore, I just put everything on my Netflix list and if I don't like it after 15 minutes, I send it back for something else and pop in a different disk. Life is too short.

Two that I remember: Jaws, I was really much too young to see that movie and it scared the crap out of me!. And Angel Heart, I'd like to say it was because it was awful, but it was really because it freaked me out too much.

bweaves, you mean Soapdish.

I have never ever walked out of a movie because I couldn't sit through the rest of it. I'm the type that won't even turn off a really bad movie that I rented. It's a sickness.

Never done it before; but wanted to for these flicks:

1. What's the Worst that Could Happen - During this atrocity, my best friend and I kept looking at each other, muttering "WTF?"

2. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - BEGGED to leave, but my sister was so into it. My brother-in-law and I both fell asleep.

3. Slackers - Just awful. When they started singing a hymnal version of The Sign (Ace of Base, remember them?) I said "Fuck it", and stood up to leave, but suddenly remembered I didn't have a ride home. But I would try hitch-hiking before seeing that again.

4. Date Movie - see Slackers.

Brotherhood of the Wolf.

Monsters? Folklore? Belluci? 18C France? Mr. Ranylt and I should have loved it. At the time, though, we just couldn't take anymore bullettime or anachronistic fighting styles or whatever the hell it was the plagued it for us so bad. We made it through most of the film, but gave up before the last 20 minutes or so.

It's the only film I've ever walked out on.

I'm a little, nay a LOT embarrassed to admit that I know you're talking about "Soapdish" with Sally Field...holy jeebus that sucked.

I've only walked out twice, and for two completely different reasons:

1. Scenes From a Mall - Woody Allen, you're just not that cool, dude. I'm really sorry to have to be the one to tell you.

2. Trainspotting - I've since watched the movie, and actually find it bearable, but I was at a point in my life where I just couldn't take the dead baby. I just could not.

the only movie i walked out on was "the score" with ed norton and marlon brando...

but only because i was high, fell asleep, and when i woke up i had no idea what the fuck was going on, so i left.

Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. Don't ask, but I did get about 5 "girl movies" out of paying for us to go see this one.

The only one I've ever walked out of was The Avengers, and that was only because I was joined in my departure by my brother and nanny (I was twelve or so at the time). Those two decided the price of admission was not worth that tripe, and walked out and demanded our money back. However, those two also subjected me to Armageddon, Dante's Peak, and Batman and Robin back in the day. I don't know that just one reprieve makes up for the sight of Chris O'Donnel's sculpted rubber nipples.

Babel. I hated it so much. I stayed to be sure the kids got rescued and then I left.

Also I only made it halfway through The Breakup on DVD before I turned it off.

The only movie I've walked out on was Batman & Robin, and I even went to see it with people with whom I regularly would see movies just to mock from the seats. We had a great time on Juwanna Mann's opening night; we loved Spice World; Dragonheart left us rolling in the aisles. But we couldn't even manage to enjoy the mockery of B&R, and left after about 45 minutes.

Though it doesn't count as an "exit", I fell asleep twice during Conspiracy Theory and would have left, but the people I was with inexplicably enjoyed it (one of them had the car).

1. Big Daddy

2. Little Fish (at TIFF). I thought over two hours had passed, and I was going to be late for another movie. Nope, it had only been an hour - Little Fish was just tremendously slow.

1. Black Knight (martin lawrence movie)
2. Epic Movie
3. Because I Said So

1. Something's Gotta Give. Sorry Jack.
2. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Not sorry.

Walked out of Stephen King's "Thinner", and into "Turbulence" starring Ray Liotta and Lauren Holly.

Not a good day at the movies.

I've never walked out on a movie. I'm stubborn and I guess a little too optimistic--I'll keep convincing myself a movie will get better all the way up to the credits.

I should have walked out on that miserable piece of crap, "Meet the Robinsons". Talk about a headache. It has to be one of the worst movies I've ever had to endure. Not only was it excruciating to sit through, but you had the added bonus of paying extra for the 3D glasses.

I didn't see this movie at the theaters, but if I had I think I would have definitely walked out of the yawn-fest known as "Alexander".

Old School. I don't care what any of you say, that movie was fucking moronic.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone/Chamber of Secrets. Words cannot describe how much I hate Chris Columbus. And on that note,

Rent. 3/4 of the cast was too old. 1 was horrendously miscast (Rosario, I am looking at you). 1 was completely and obviously disinterested in the entire deal (hey, Taye, how you doing). And one had just finished shrieking her voice out in one of the worst book-to-musical adaptations of all time, so she sounded like shit.

Phantom of the Opera. I will never understand how that got a good review on here. It's a terrible musical to begin with. Every decision made for the movie was horrible with the possible exception of casting Minnie Driver. Gerard Butler should never be allowed to "sing" and Emmy Rossum should never be allowed to "act". And why the FUCK was Miranda Richardson the only person with a French accent in a movie set in Paris? All or nothing, Schumacher.

Dodgeball. Enough said.

The only movies I ever walked out on:

Mary Poppins and
The Sound of Music

1. Superman Returns...only because of the loud-ass idiot next to me on her phone, the screaming children kicking our seats, and the teenages talking thru the whole movie. We got out money back and later say a different showing.

2. The Hours. Fuck that movie. What a depressing piece of crap. And I watch a lot of depressing movies, but this one made me want to rip Nicole Kidman's fake nose off. I don't care how "great" a movie it was.

3. Polar Express. Goddamn critics made me want to see this one. i walked out when the poor kid started singing about Christmas from the back of a train. Shoot me in the head.

The only movies I ever walked out on were:

Mary Poppins
and
The Sound of Music

I can't remember ever walking out of a movie, but ones that came close were: 1) Troy - utter, utter, utter shit. 2)Brokeback Mountain and 3) Pirates of the Caribbean 3 came fairly close.

Movies I've walked out of the room while all my friends were inside watching it because they were so bad even their company didn't make up for it (and I like my friends, honest) were I heart huckabees and Neverending Story 2. GOOD GOD.

I very very rarely walk out of movies. I only walked out of one recently. When taking relatives to the movies, I recommend not going to see Fat Albert. After forty minutes, my relative and I agreed to leave the theater.
Movie I wished I could have walked out of: Epic Movie. Don't let friends recommend Epic Movie to you, or never speak to them again. Though I forgave mine.

1. The Ladykillers (Coen Brothers version): To this day, I don't believe the Coen Brothers were responsible for that piece of turd and it made me hate Tom Hanks forever

2. Twins: (Schwarzenegger & DeVito) I knew it would be awful going in but the boyfriend had a thing for Arnold.

3. Titanic: I didn't physically walk out because the designated driver wanted to stay but I stopped looking at the screen and just watched all the idiots sobbing and planned my Nobel-winning novel on mass hysteria in pop culture (still in development)

4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Don't hate me Pajibans, but I just don't get it. I've rented it twice since then (and even tried it on cable last week) to see what I have been told I so obviously missed the first time and I still don't get it and have yet to make it all the way through.

I have never walked out simply because I was either the driver or the passenger and no one else wanted to. I have however, fallen asleep or laughed throughout the entire movie and commented on its' worthlessness. I have also not finished the movie on DVD due to it's tremendous amount of suck.

Theater:
1. Star Wars prequels - Different dates took me to each of these during their respective "pick the movie" nights. I unceremoniously fell asleep throughout each one of them.
2. Blair Witch Project - This is possibly the worst movie ever. I laughed pretty much the entire time.
3. Dude, Where's My Car?? - I hate my (former) friends who chose this and Ashton Kutcher. I hate you all.
4. Titanic - If your movie lasts longer than the ship took to sink in real life, shouldn't you see the problem somewhere? Huh, James Cameron? At least there was a guy in the theater all diabolic-like at every single death. He did an excellent job of making me question his sanity.

DVD rental
5. Man of the Year - Damn you, Lewis Black. Damn you.

I've only walked out once: The Producers.

I can't believe people walked out on Lord of the Rings (yes, the books are superior, but the movies are pretty enjoyable as well) or Deuce Bigalow European Gigalo. Yes, I enjoy the Deuce Bigalow franchise. It is my retarded guilty pleasure. Shut up.

1. Derailed - It was opening night and we just couldn't contain our disdain, so we left before we were probably going to be thrown out. The RZA?! C'mon now!

The rest are movies I've spent the entire time wishing I had left, but was too cheap to do it.and stupidly trying to make some point to myself.

2. Equilibrium - this was a real movie? I was in disbelief that it was even made...

3. Van Helsing - simply dreadful

4. Ghost Rider - I still want those two hours back! How dare they sully Henry Fonda's good name with that pile of trash

5. Ultraviolet - I knocked out and despite trying to watch it on Starz several times, I never made it to the end.

Van Helsing. Van Fucking Helsing.

Even with Hugh Jackman, that movie was unwatchable for sheer lack of suspense and overwrought detail of absolutely nothing. Also the intro to Kate Beckinsale's character put the ubiquitous Batcrotch and Batass shots to shame.

9th Gate (I think that is what it was called ... the one with Johnny Depp). It was mind-blowingly horrid


House on Haunted Hill (the remake) I love horror, but this was horrible (heh heh ... ok yeah that was bad ... but so was this movie!)


The Forgotten - wish I could forget what I have seen of it. As soon as the people started getting sucked ... yeah, it was over for me.

i walked out on the musketeer and deuces wild.

question, when you bail on a flick, do you try to get your money back? cos i did on both counts. i'm not sure what the rules are when it comes to that, is all.

Generally, I just fall asleep during the really bad ones--Paycheck, for instance.

I did walk out on The Scarlett Letter (the one with Demi Moore). We paid $1, and we thought it would be it's so bad it's funny. It wasn't. It was as awful as you can imagine.

Sorry for the double-post. I swear I only hit the "post" button once.

Katy, you cut me to the quick. I love and own both Jabberwocky and Get Shorty.

Also I only made it halfway through The Breakup on DVD before I turned it off.

Posted by: Rachel at July 23, 2007 2:57 PM

Ah Rachel, I am going to 100% agree with you. This was coming on HBO one day so I thought, "I have nothing to do and this is supposed to be funny". Funny? In what alternate universe do you have to be in to find that movie funny? That movie gave me a headache. I later caught the end of it and I all I wanted to do was to go find whatever critic referred to this as a "Great romantic comedy" and kick them in the junk repeatedly.

I've never actually walked out of a movie (yes, I'm that cheap), so I've compiled a list of movies I wish I'd walked out on:

1. Timecop. I hate movies about time travel in general (it's IMPOSSIBLE!! It makes NO SENSE!!! If you're changing the "past" to affect the future, it should affect YOU even though you're visiting the past!! BOLLOCKS!!!) and the wooden acting and retardo script had me rolling my eyes so much that it gave me a splitting headache. But I think that the clincher should have been Van Damme's naked split-leap onto the counter to avoid electrocution. Seriously. Why does Van Damme assume that the audience ALWAYS wants to see his naked glutes? Spare me.
2. The Devil's Advocate. Oh, Al Pacino, you are SO much better than this stupid, stupid borderline porno with Keanu Reeves and a cop-out predictable "twist" ending.
3. Hope Floats. It was when I saw this movie that I came to the sad realization that I couldn't rely on movie recommendations from my girlfriends anymore. They love the cheese too much.
4. The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Dear Disney, I hate you for fouling one of my favorite books with your Disneyfied taint. What would possess you to think that this story could POSSIBLY be made into a movie appropriate for children? You morons. Sincerely, Jelinas.
5. Babel. Much word to rachel upthread. After the great review it got here, I was expecting too much, perhaps. But I thought it was pretty lame and I hated the entire storyline with Rinko Kikuchi.

I wanted to walk out on "The Day After Tomorrow" but I was DD. That's right, my friends all got drunk and then picked a crappy movie to watch. They found it highly entertaining.

And you know what, I was almost into it. Then the motherfucking arctic wolves showed up, and I played tetris on my cell phone till it was over.

Town and Country - I don't even know what made us decide to see it, probably the alcohol.

Nacho Libre - I had even been warned, but I wanted to like it so badly

Freddie Got Fingered - we didn't even get past the scene with the cow (or maybe it was a horse) at the beginning when he was driving past the animal.

Luckily, I'm a hard ass and so got a refund for everyone involved in all three.

1. The Skulls
2. Here on Earth
3. Not Another Teen Movie
*I wanted to leave all of these movies, but went to them with idiot friends in high school

I am an absolute movie whore and I pride myself on being able to sit through anything. For instance I actually made it through Norbit and two National Lampoon Presents movies in a single day (due to some horrible Netflix queue management).

With that said the only movie I have ever walked out on, and in the 15 or so years since have never been inclined to see what I missed: Hook.

Special shout out to Fifth Element, which I would have left if I wasn't on a date. Turned out, she wanted to leave too, but neither of us spoke up - which spoke loads for our communication skills together.

Chris Tucker, you are burned in my soul forever. And not in a good way...

Walked out on "Love Story."
Wished I'd walked out on "A Perfect Storm." Kept thinking it would get better until the sinking scene, which was so bad I couldn't muster the energy to leave till the movie had run its soggy course.

1. Dukes of Hazzard - probably the worst movie I ever saw, as part of a double feature with Wedding Crashers at a drive-in

2. Spiderman 3 - Just godawful

3. Eragon - My little bro was a fan of the books so i took him. He was disappointed and I just hated it.

The only one I've walked out of was Toy Story 2 because my daughter got fussy - I've never gotten around to finishing it, either.

As for rented movies, I only made it through the first 15 minutes of The Brothers Grimm, which was a huge disappointment - I really wanted to like that one.

Starsky and Hutch.

Only movie I've ever walked out on. (I'm one of those people that has to answer a ringing phone, or read a book in it's entirety despite it's content). This thing was just not funny.

I've never actually walked out of a movie, but I might as well have for Austin Powers: Goldmember. I totally spaced out for most of it, and was in and out of sleep for the last 45 minutes. I really hated it.

Even when I rent movies I'll watch them all the way through even if they're crappy - no matter if I feel I've wasted 2 hours. I guess that way I have something to bitch about? I couldn't make it through 'Ultraviolet' or 'A Day without a Mexican', though.

Word to everyone who said Day After Tomorrow. My friends rented it and I spent most of the evening texting people who were lucky enough to not be there. (My mother called me the day after she rented it and said that she watched it on mute because she thought the special effects were interesting, but the dialogue sucked.)

I walked out of Little Black Book. It gave me nothing bt a minor appreciation for those Holly Hunter impresssions that Sarah Paulson did on Studio 60.

1. Pulse...what a piece of shit. Not to mention it was 10pm on a friday night; might have even been opening night. The crowd was lovely...laser pointers, cell phones, arguements, ....so lovely a state cop had to come in and babysit in the corner (I assume) til it finished...made it about 40 mins. Got road head as an apology though so...good times!

2. Shark Tale (which I feel really bad for doing) since i took my 8 year old niece to see it. She bitched and moaned the whole time, but i essentially told her fuck off, you're 9, I paid, and you rode with me. I felt better about my choice when i discovered that was her 3rd time seeing it. 8 years old or not...she should know SHIT when she sees it. Bitch. Gosh i love my niece so much more now that she's 10 (HUGE difference now)

3. DVD - Close - I love me some Clive Owen but this movie was fucking garbage. Watched it with my girlfriend (See 1.) and we both agreed pretty quickly that we cared nothing for any of the characters because they were all pieces of shit.

4. Match Point - Fucking dreck. Made it about 30 mins.

5. Monster's Ball - Again...couldn't possibly care less for any of the piece of shit characters in the movie.

Now... got road head for the pulse and have gotten apology sex a few times when movies were involved that ended up being crap. By this arguement i should be able to take her to see the celluloid abortion that will be 'Who's Your Caddy' and she'll be willing to try anal? I can't WAIT to see Big Boi on the big screen!

I've never walked out of a movie as an adult, however, my parents had to take me out of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty about 5 minutes into each as toddler-me could not handle the Queen or Maleficent.

I really would have like to walk out of Anger Management, Volcano, and 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag though.

I'm late to the party, but Pajiba finally just started accepting my damn email address so I'm commenting anyway.

I walked out of Elizabethtown. And then I walked back in. I was with three very obnoxious friends who couldn't make up their minds and decided it would be more fun to ruin the movie for the other 5 people in the theater than to leave and go get high. I'm still annoyed about that.

I walked out of I, Robot once because I had to catch a bus (it was a late showing) but I went back later to find out what happened.

Would have walked out of "Very Bad Things" if not for the fact that I was out with friends in high school without my own ride. Absolutely repulsive.

Never walked out of a film - I'm too stingy so I usually pick only the stuff I'm fairly confident I'll like. I also have a taste for tasteless - I unfortunately like The Avengers, Get Shorty (but both book & movie of Be Cool SUZCKED), and other piece of trash that are roundly despised.

If my 8 year-old son hadn't pleadingly dragged me to Shrek 3, I would have followed my 2 year-old daughter dancing in the aisles and right out the door. She was ready to go after 40 minutes, just as I was. (I kept bringing her back)

Which reminds me of SpyKids 3-D - my son was 4 at the time and he Just. Wouldnt. Shut. Up. About. It. So I take him. After 10 minutes, he's curled up on the seat whining about, "how he doesn't want to stay". I'm going to catch hell from some parents, but I refused to leave even though I could feel the suckitude draining my mind away. "Do you understand what I mean when I say commericals lie?" Yes, I'm a nasty jerk of a bastard.

I have stopped the playback on several movies though - There's Something About Mary made me get up and pitch the tape across the room.

The Jetsons movie. It's true.

Closer*

I have too much faith in movies; I usually hang on until the bitter end. But my main "wish-I-hads" are:

1. The Last Kiss (made me feel physically sick and very, very bitter.)

2. In the Bedroom. I fell asleep, and therefore could not physically walk out. I woke up alone in the credits. Freaky!

3. The Break-Up. 20 minutes in, I knew I was doomed. Whaddya gonna do.

4. Charlie's Angels Fuckin 2. It was not my choice, and it nearly killed me

5. Bring It On. See above.

I walked out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the newest one. I hate, hate torture porn and was only there because an ex-boyfriend's little sister wanted to see it on her birthday. I made it half an hour and decided I couldn't be the generous, even if it was her birthday. The relationship didn't last too much longer after that :).

"Mary Poppins
and
The Sound of Music"

Say it isn't so!

Dudley Do-Right with Brendan Fraser - We were looking for a kid-friendly movie and thought this was it... My wife left for the bathroom 5 minutes in and never came back. I joined her with my daughter 15 minutes later. We were able to get our money back at the box office; They said several other people had walked out from that one.

Just two:

Don Juan DeMarco (love Depp, but not this movie)

The Passion of the Christ (couldn't take the crucifixion scene)

I've never gotten a chance to see too many movies except ones that I thought would be really worth it, so I've never gotten a chance to walk out on too many, but one I wish I could've was The Hunted. What's that, you say? How did I end up going to something so abysmal as Tommy Lee Jones goes hunting for someone....again? I I don't know. My husband and two friends of ours wanted to see it and I could not, in any way, talk them out of it. To this day I think it must've been mind control.

A Rage in Harlem.

It's my one and only. I was in a frenzied state of rage and boredom and lasted for something like 30 minutes before liberating myself.

Nothing yet. It's a form of masochism I think.

I should have walked out on Armageddon, and Behind Enemy Lines.

many people would probably agree that i am stupid for having walked out on "sideways" but i really couldn't stand that movie for another moment.


"date movie" i walked out on ....not sorry


"zodiac" i fell asleep at two separate times


god, "date movie" still gives me nightmares ::shudders::

I never walked out, either. If I had more taste, I may have walked out on, oh,
1. Little Nicky and
2. What Lies Beneath (almost forgot that title),
the first of which was stupid and the second of which is dull. I mostly settled for sitting and staring at my sister for choosing those movies. And she was the one who walked out when we went to see Love, Actually...and she walked out to go see The Cat in the Hat.
For a third, I really never wanted to see The Hours, which was very boring and I spent most of the movie counting the ceiling tiles. I only went because it was my mom's birthday or mother's day or something, and that was what my mom wanted.
Finally, I once attended a double showing at a drive-in of Bowfinger and The Blair Witch Project. I have no idea what Bowfinger was, because I hardly watched it, and Blair Witch was kind of a drag. But, that was why we went.

"I Know What You Did Last Summer" - one of the few good judgment moments of high school.

"Talladega Nights" - when you find yourself getting angry at the other people in the theater for laughing, it's time to go.

the only movie i've officially walked out is final destination. but i tried talking other people into leaving spawn and dreamcatchers because i couldn't take any more.

"3. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (yeah. I get it. Run. Fight. Run. Fight. Run. Fight. Argh)."

THANK YOU! You're the only other person who shares my opinion of this dreck. Everyone else thinks I am insane. Can we get married? Or are you the one who's already married? 'Cause, like, anyone else who hates LotR movies as much as I do is my potential soul mate.

The only reason I didn't walk out of Fellowship of the Ring was because I went with other people, so it was either sit and suffer or wait in the parking lot and suffer. And, seeing as how the things was over three hours long (felt like three thousand) I chose to stay seated.

"Talladega Nights" - when you find yourself getting angry at the other people in the theater for laughing, it's time to go.

Talladega Nights I actually returned to the video store the same day in order to an early return credit. It still makes me question the intelligence of 99.95% of humanity. The husband and I looked at each other midway through and opted to forge ahead to see if it ever got "funny". It did not. I hate you Will Ferrell.

When I was a kid, my parents and I went to "The Rock"...we were from northern California so my mom was sold on the Alcatraz thing, and my dad was placated by Sean Connery's involvement...we got to the balcony sex scene with Cage and his wife (which was completely superfluous to the film) and mom had me by the arm and walking up the aisle by the time Cage uttered "Peachy Cream Smoothness"... thanks Ma.

1. Wolf - sat in the lobby and waited for my friends to finish watching that God-awful thing.

2. The Bridges of Madison County - yes, I know. It's "wonderful" and "how could you?!" Whatever. I was bored out of my skull.

3. Battlefield Earth - We left after 10 minutes, but it was fine since we had sneaked into it after paying for/seeing another movie.

Movie walked out on:

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace - I didn't actually make it past the first 15 minutes of the movie because I got a call from my parents saying that I was extremely late for an important marching band practice that I had totally forgotten about. That's probably the dorkiest reason that anyone has ever had to leave a theater. Bonus points for me.

Movie wanted to walk out on:

The Matrix Reloaded - the techno orgy scene was so ridiculous that I just had to leave, but my jackass boyfriend wouldn't budge. Idiot.

Movie unfinished as rental:

Multiplicity - I was only 13, but I knew a shitty movie when I saw one.

The only movie I've really walked out on is Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Which I was reviewing. I just couldn't fucking take it any more. I got through about 50 minutes.

I would have walked out on The Hulk but I was with people. I did, however, go out for a cigarette halfway through before struggling through the rest.

I still shake my head at the memory of this: "Date Movie". Why oh why did I ever go see that? My friend and I stuck through the entire thing because a) we hoped in vain that it would get better (it got worse) and b) there was nothing else to do. We shot out of there the minute the credits started and just looked at each other, in unspoken agreement that we should have left ten minutes in and gotten our money back.

For some ungodly reason, my father adores Kevin Costner's movies. For this reason, my entire family was dragged to see both Waterworld and the Postman. I fell asleep during the latter and was too young to sit by myself in the lobby through the former.

However, the boyfriend and I did catch Waterworld on USA yesterday; he had never seen it, so we got high and chuckled through the whole thing.

1. Sin City *seriously the stupidest movie in history of movies*
2. Ultraviolet
3. 200 Cigarettes
4. The Break-Up *no wonder Brad left Jennifer Aniston- she's boring, ugly, and plays the same role ALL THE DAMN TIME*
5. Eragon *i loved the books and was just downright HORRIFIED at the movie version, still pisses me off*

Wow, lots of people are like me...just can't bring themselves to walk out.I will stick with damn near anything, just so I can bitch about it later. Ones I would have walked out on or started to watch at home and said "fuck THAT!" include;

1) "What Dreams May Come" depression, anyone? Jesus, and a really bad choice to watch the day your mother-in-law has quintuple by-pass surgery.

2) "Pirates 3" Now, I LURVE me some Johnny Depp, but wtf was going on? My kids loved it, and I dozed off.

3) "Phantom Menance" so many before have said it better than I ever could....that kid now lives about 30 minutes from me. If I ever see him, I'm gonna kick his ass.

4)"Last Temptation of Christ" My boyfriend really wanted to go. I went to be nice. Not religious, not interested. He is not religious either, but bawled like a baby. Jesus, man, grow a pair!!! (I think this movie spawned Eli Roth, et al.....)

5) any Scooby-Doo or Fantastic Four....again, went with the kiddies...kept trying to doze off...just awful

There are lots more, but, damn....why ruin such a lovely day?

Can I still play? I have walked out on "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and "The Animal." No regrets.

The first 5 minutes of Little Miss Sunshine came very close to get me to walk out. I was under the impression I would be getting bad preachy drama for 1:30 and it would ruin my buzz. Well I'm glad I stayed.

I couldn't sit through Sin City. And the theater was across from a bar. I waited it out at the bar. Just too much for me what with strippers and Bruce Willis and violence and gory dead Benicio Del Toro and just more violence. I don't know why the violence (and the yellow dude) got to me so bad but I was just too revolted to stay. Although the visual style was fabulous and Clive Owen is a hottie and the big red dude was a badass. So basically I can't forget what I did see and didn't want to see more if I was going to have it permanently burned into my brain. Does that make any sense?

Actually walked out of the theater:
The Cell - not because I thought it was bad, but my companion was in an alternate, chemically-induced state of mind and couldn't deal. I was stone sober and drove, and figured it was better to leave than watch him freak out in public.

Fell asleep during:
Crocodile Dundee 2
Batman Returns

Wish I'd left:
Robocop
Kingpin

Left the room while friends watched on DVD:
Requiem for a Dream
Punch-Drunk Love
Training Day

Turned off after 10 minutes and returned to Netflix:
Nightwatch (w/Ewan McGregor & Lauren Graham)
The Portrait of a Lady

My friend and I walked out on A Knight's Tale. The use of classic rock and popular music in the movie annoyed me, but not as much as the so very obvious plot cliches and stereotypes. I really like that cast too! We also walked out on the first Resident Evil movie. I love horror and zombies, but this was horrible.

When I was little, my dad dragged my family to Fat Man and Little Boy. I was too young to get anything out of it, and I probably went back and forth to the lobby ten or so times.

I wish I walked out on:
Matrix Revolutions
Head of State
Sahara
Shrek 2

If anything else gets bad enough, I can enjoy making fun of it.

Also never walked out of a movie, but I have given up on the dvd for a couple (which i NEVER do-i have to know how it ends):
Master and Commander-could not get into it at all.

The Brothers Grimm-such a waste of time and talent.

1. The Little Mermaid - tried to see it twice and had to leave twice. It was a little too creepy for my little bitty self. I'm a wuss.

2. Bean- Mr. Bean's movie. It sucked so much.

Only time I've ever walked out of a theater:
The Nutty Professor 2. It was the ONLY movie showing and I had no better plans for a date than a trip to the movies, but we just couldn't take it. Some movies I wish I'd walked out on:
End of Days (wow...)
Hook (so, so powerfully boring/lame)
Twister (the height of stupidity)
I'm sure I'll think of more, but I can't at the present.

1. Johnny Mnemonic
2. Stuart Smalley Saves his Family (whatever it was called...my grandmother wanted to see it, what was I to do??? Not take her??)

Alot of things suck about being 16. No smoking, no drinking, no girls. That last one probably has more to do with my friday nights spend listening to Director's Commentaries. None the less, the WORST FUCKING THING has got to be getting dragged to the Santa Clause 3.

Sat in the hallway alone for and 45 minutes and it was better than that pile of crap.

Sadly, I'm too cheap and stubborn to actually walk out since the ticket was paid for, but I will forever blame my husband for making me endure Johnny Mnemonic.....I'll never get those 100 minutes back!

I've fallen asleep from boredom during:
Star Wars Episode I (at nyc's Ziegfeld no less)
Jade
Ocean's 12

None, but oh God, oh God I wish I had walked out on the Da Vinci Code.

4) broken flowers - the little indie film with bill murray that blew chunks

3) lost in space - the '98 remake with william hurt. it sucked the breath out of my lungs, it was so bad

2) godzilla - another remake. see above.

1) the village - the last m. night shamalan movie i'll ever pay money to see.

I think the only movie I've actually walked out on was Ice Castles when I was a kid. Then there are movies I thought about walking out on (Whipped--both my friend and I wanted to leave, but were afraid the other one would want to stay) and movies I wish I'd walked out on, and in fact bolted from the theater as soon as the credits began (Hudson Hawk, I'm looking at you).

My favorite "walking out" story isn't mine, but came from a co-worker. His girlfriend really wanted to see Random Hearts, so they went. Then, about 20 minutes in, she announced, "This is boring. Want to leave?" That's not the woman he married, but it did make him want to keep dating her for a while longer.

I've never walked out, and even rentals I always need to watch all the way through. Even if I have no hope of it improving, for some reason I need to know how things end.

However, basically anything my friends and I went to see in junior high would be on my list of movies I wish I'd walked out on. (Think Heartbreakers, Big Mama's House, The Bachelor, etc.)

There were many many many films I wanted to walk out on (TROY!!!!) but didn't, due to either my own skintflintedness or the fact that I don't like to miss out on things, no matter how horrible.

Perhaps the worst one was "Torque".

I still have not met anyone that has seen that film. It was actually the first time I'd ever been to the cinema on my own, but the only reason I watched it was that I was in Bangkok, Thailand, on my own for the night, and had some time to kill before my friend arrived for a visit (I was teaching English out there, in case you're interested.)
I and two Thai people were the only people in there, and I think they actually left. It was truly terrible, but even so, I stuck it out.

Only movie I've actually walked out on is John Carpenter's Vampires - when I was in high school my friends and I made plans to see it on Halloween. (We should have known better. I mean, the inclusion of "John Carpenter's" in the title - is there no more obvious sign of hackery?) We all grew up in NM, so we considered leaving at the very beginning, when a house was described as "Just another New Mexican shithole" (Shout out to El Burque!!) but we stuck it out for about 30 minutes. When we realized that we could reliably predict every "shocking" and "scary" moment (as in, "Vampire behind the door in 3... 2... 1...") we decided it was too lame even for us.

I would have walked out on Triple X (or is that supposed to be xXx or something? [eyeroll]) but I was at 30,000 feet and didn't have a parachute in my carry-on.

(Instead I began an obsessively detailed account of everything I hated about it, then later convinced my friends to turn it into a drinking game. We had to stop playing halfway through, to avoid serious cases of alcohol poisoning.)

During my semester abroad in Spain, my mother came to visit and we went to see Lynch's Mulholland Drive in one of the few non-dubbed theaters. There was, I think, one other person in the theater. We made it through the whole movie, but as soon as the credits rolled I could not keep from yelling out, "What?!?" I was gratified to hear our fellow moviegoer chime in with, "...the FUCK?!?"

Kevin - I dated a guy who loved Dodgeball. I mean LOVED. IT. He took me back to his place after dinner, and it was on, and - well, I didn't walk out, but in hindsight I really should have.

Idiosynchronic - I think making your son stay and watch Spy Kids 3-D makes you a great parent. You're raising the next generation of Pajibites, you know.

three:
the league of extraordinary gentlemen
napoleon dynamite
face/off.

Have never walked out of a movie I paid for, but I SHOULD have walked out on "Judge Dredd." There's 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

And if I hadn't been with my mother to see it, I might have walked out on "Sleepless in Seattle" (I think that was it; it had both Hanks and Ryan and was so boring I kept checking my watch and thinking - alternately - "It's gotta get better" and "When will it end?").

It's been a long time since I walked out of a movie. The last two I remember were Ziggy Stardust (one too many backlit Bowie crotch shots) and something called "The Moon in the Gutter" with Gerard Depardieu and Nastassja Kinski. Yes, I'm old.

If it counts, I fell asleep after 5 minutes of the Grudge...and it was a noon showing!

I walked out very few times, but to name a couple:

Autumn In New York,
Hideaway,
The Matrix (Keanu said "woah", so I said "no." I later finished it and loved it despite this.),
Dukes of Hazzard,
The Chumscrubber

King Kong remake- the only time I was rooting for the ape to die

Hostel- the eye thing with the Japanese girl was too much for my stomach

The Hills Have Eyes remake- the rape scene in the van was too much

Napoleon Dynamite.

The only movie I've ever walked out of. I just don't do it, but I made an exception to my rule 30 minutes into that garbage.

1. Alex and (fucking) Emma - i have never watched something so completely bland.

2. Fur: An Imaginary Portrait Of Diane Arbus - worst.movie.ever. 20 minutes of watching nicole kidman shaving robert downey jr's entire body is not my idea of a good time.

• Sin City. Complete Garbage, I also hate the fact people try to defend based on the special effects. If you dress a turd up in a tuxedo it's still a turd.

• The Perfect Storm. I know I would face the worst storm in recorded history for $10 worth of trout.
• The Aviator. Not good, everyone is too used to kissing Scorcese's ass. Way too long, would have enjoyed a TV biography on Howard Huges more.
• Vanilla Sky. No Comment, I just hated it relentlessly.
  

With all due respect, most of the pajiba readers here are too young to have seen (in theatres) the worst movie of the last century - The Trial of Billy Jack. I disliked the first Billy Jack, but got talked into going to the sequel by my girlfriend and her female buddy. When the National Guard surrounded the school and shot the kid on crutches, I had the same reaction you all had to the "Captivity" movie - tasted a little vomit, and walked out.

The Thin Red Line is the only movie I've walked out on. I still don't care what happened, I was so bored.

I really wanted to walk out on Die Another Day, Hostel, and Pirates of the Caribbean, but I was with other people.

Blind Spot - Hitler's Secretary

Dull-holland Drive

Slums of Beverly Hills

I walked out of Heat when I was in High School--the first movie I've ever walked out on. I wonder if I would hate it now as much as I hated it then--a lot of people have told me it's very good. The only other movie I've ever walked out on was the Denise Richards/Kevin Bacon classic Wild Things.

I have never walked out, but I wish I had -

Blood and Wine - One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Seven (Insert grammatically incorrect number of exclamation points here)This is the one I genuinely regret not walking out on.

The Hours - My husband actually offered to run at the screen in order to cause a diversion and save us all. Interminable pretentious crap.

Highroad to China (Tom Selleck) I was about 12 and still knew it was awful.

ConAir - with a friend who thought it was great and BOUGHT A COPY!

Sleepers - Hammered shit, but the projector broke down and we got free movie passes out of it, so it wasn't a total loss.

Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith - The biggest badass in the universe is reduced to a whining cry baby.

There are more I'm sure, but my psyche has blocked them out.

On DVD -

Something's Gotta Give degenerated into a rant at the TV and then at anyone who would listen for the next 3 days.

Cars - Why was this movie popular? We paused it and just never went back.

Pan's Labyrinth - A fantasy movie that's a metaphor about fascism? How delightful! Tell me more! I begged my husband to make it stop, but we watched the whole thing.

i pride myself to say that i've never walked out on a movie. it would have to be an excruciatingly bad movie for me to leave and say to myself "ok, you can take the money i paid you becuase at this point, even though i respect your power in making a movie to be released and viewed to millions and your ability at story telling (however limited it may be), i dont care how it ends."

however- lets broaden this and say "movies you havent completed"
cause that, i've done. you know, DVR something and then watch some of it and swear you'll finish it tomorrow, only to realize tomorrow that you could be watching far better things because you didnt even like it that much in the first place.

I Heart Huckabees,

i wish i rememebered the rest, but i usually delete them in a few days.

I have only walked out on two movies out of sheer boredom.

Hoosiers
Gung Ho

I should have walked out on Batman Forever, but I didn't. Fool me once, Schumacher.

Alanna, my friends started a similar drinking game (I was out of commission on pain meds from wisdom teeth removal) to the South Park movie. If you try to take a drink for every cuss word, I can almost guarantee that you will not make it through "Uncle Fucker".

Good times all around.

Like many others who have posted here, I have wanted to walk out on a couple of movies but have been too cheap to do so. The top two of these movies would be:

Anger Management
Why, oh WHY did I go and see an Adam Sandler film?! I hated both him and Nicholson so I don't know why I was present, but I wish I hadn't been.

Open Water
Waste of time.

Alexander.

I tried to walk out during Serenity when Walsh got the big stick shoved through his chest, but I was restrained by Browncoats.

err, Wash.

I cannot abide being forced to stay somewhere I don't want to be, & so have walked out on many a movie...screw the ticket price, my freedom from cinematic shite is well worth it...and I'm too wimpy to ask for my money back. That being said, I'm prepared to be mocked for walking out of the following:

1) Pulp Fiction: I was a 19 year-old virgin girl & beat a hasty retreat when the gimp showed up. Call me sheltered, but at the time, holy crap.

2) Leaving Las Vegas: Took my 13-yr. old brother. Think back to some of those drunk sex scenes & imagine watching them with your little bother. If you could do that, you're a bigger woman than me. Or enjoy a deeply inappropriate relationship with your brother.

3) Spawn: John Leguizamo. Point made.

4) King Kong: It sucked. And I am not about to watch something continue to suck for three frickin' hours.

5) Talledega Nights: (DVD rental) I loves me some Will Ferrell but not in that bullshit.

I've never walked out of a movie but there are a few I wish I'd walked out of

1. American Dreamz- not only was it boring but everyone was talking during the screening

2. Transformers. Seriously- after I was the only one to laugh when that soldier guy said "you're a soldier now!" to Shia LaBeouff, I knew I should have left and saved myself the boredom of the remaining 20 minutes, especially since I'd already endured 40 minutes of boredom.

The only one i've ever walked out of was Bounce, the Ben Afflek, Gwenyth Paltrow piece of crap. I was like 15, went with a bunch of friends, and two of us spent most of the movie in the arcade.

I kept falling asleep watching King Kong at home. I woke up each time reversed to the last spot I remembered and tried again. Took three tries but I finally finished it. Not worth it.

Couldn't finish The Grudge on TV or Vlad with Billy Zane. Awful.

Heartbeeps: Starring Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters.
I was 10. The movie was just so bad.

The Ladykillers ('04)- That flick was just a big steaming pile of ass.

I work at a movie theatre, so money is never the issue. I do read Pajiba avidly these days, and this fact has saved me from wasting my time on many occasions. However, over the years there have been a few I just couldn't bear to watch.

1) Batman & Robin. From reading the comments I am far from alone on this one.
2) Sorority Boys. Uggh-- didn't make it more than 15 minutes. totally forgettable flick.
3) The Ring. hated it. not even a little scary.
4) Keeping the Faith. Ben Stiller is not above that crap, but Edward Norton? Come now.
5) Cheaper by the Dozen... OK, I really don't know what I was thinking going in. Oh, now I remember-- it was my girlfriend's idea.

I haven't walked out of a film. There have been many where I was thinking, "I'm not exactly entertained by this," but I don't really have the same violent recollections of those films that you all seem to have. I kind of just tend to simply forget them and now worry about them again.

I'm surprised at some of the choices above though, because there were a few at least where I would concede that they weren't smart films, but I was entertained by them. I wouldn't defend them and call them good, but they were nowhere near "walking out" quality for me.

I've only ever walked out of Goldeneye. I WISH I'd walked out of Pearl Harbor, The 9th Gate and Titanic.

Considered walking out on Pearl Harbor, but didn't. I really hated the love triangle crap in that movie.

Didn't walk out of, but turned the video off after only 20 minutes or so: The Matrix. I know everyone loves that one, but my hubby and I just found it annoying. Still haven't watched more than that nor watched the sequels.

I almost walked out on Jurassic Park when I thought the kids were going to die. They of course didn't die, so I stayed.

I'm of your school as well, Dustin; I don't walk out of movies I've paid to see. I've made an exception to that rule one and a half times. The first was Shallow Hal, which I still count as the worst movie I've ever seen, ever, because I did end up seeing the second half of it on HBO later on. And the half time was Van Helsing...I actually got up to walk out three times, but every time I did, Hugh Jackman would take off his shirt and convince me to sit back down again.

I've only walked out of one flick ever....MR SATURDAY NIGHT. I can take Billy Crystal's old-jewish-guy schtick in tiny, tiny little doses -- but a whole movie? Ugh.

I never walked out of a movie,(too cheap), but I sincerely wanted to leave "Porky's," but My date thought it was hilarious. I married him. Maybe I should have taken his enjoyment of that film as a sign that the marriage wouldn't last. It didn't.

And yes, I'm old too!

The only movie I ever walked out of was The Portrait of a Lady with Nicole Kidman. I went with a girl I was dating at the time because she was taking a course that offered extra credit for going. I knew from the first scene it would be pure dogshit. At one point two little kids up front were playing around and being noisy. The other 6 people in the theater were all watching and smiling. No one gave a fuck because it was much more entertaining than that turd. Finally my girlfriend made us leave with about 30 minutes left to go. I wanted to stay just to say we made it. Leaving then was like dropping out of college with 1 class left to go. She just couldn't take it anymore so we left.

Wish I had walked out of Me, Myself, and Irene. Also dogshit. I took my little sister to see it and regret it to this day.

Blonde hair and big, beautiful breasts lured me out of Dances With Wolves. I was on a double date and the other 3 were bored. Shitty thing is that I never hooked up with the girl, but I did eventually get to see the whole movie during my liking-Coster-despite-myself phase.
In fact, I'm not even friends with my old buddy anymore.
Dicks.

I've never walked out. However, I wanted to leave the following but I stuck it out:

Mimic, Mars Attacks, Natural Born Killers, Babe, Disney's Pocahontas, Benny & June, Any Given Sunday, Jeepers Creepers

I know some of these are cult classics and what not but every one of those movies is pretentious as hell and just not interesting enough to justify it. The others were critic's darlings that I saw against my better judgement.

I've never walked out of anything in a theatre. I've seen some truly awful stuff, but if I'm there, then I'm in for the count. There is only one movie which I paid money for (rental), and intentionally never finished:

The original Sinatra/Martin/Davis Jr. version of Ocean's 11.

Just try to stay awake! I dare you. I'd even take Ocean's 12 over this again.

U-Turn

i just didn't see the point of sitting there any longer.

otherwise i don't go see movies that i know will make me want to walk out on them.

I've never willingly walked out of a movie. I'm of the "I bought the damn ticket, I'm staying" mindset. Also, since moving back to my hometown, I have to drive over an hour to get to a decent movie theater. I'm very, very picky about what I go to see. No more movies on a whim since I'm spending $8 bucks on a ticket AND God knows how much on a tank of gas.

I was forced to leave a theater once, though, and not by management. When the first Blair Witch came out, I was in college. The local theater did a midnight showing the night before it opened. People were foaming at the mouth to get the tickets. My boyfriend and I had two. A guy in the parking lot offered us 25 for each. We should have accepted.

So we're in the theater and it is packed and HOT AS BALLS. The movie starts. I'm not terribly impressed, but I'm being patient. Then they get to the freaking woods. About five minutes into their hike, I start feeling weird. I've broken out in a cold sweat and am totally clammy. Five minutes later, I heart starts pounding and I feel nauseated. Thirty more seconds and my boyfriend is practically carrying me out of the theater. I get to the parking lot and puke everywhere.

We can't figure out what happened. My friends ask if I got scared, but nothing scary had happened (then again, did it ever???). They were just walking.

The next day, the newspaper has done a little write up. Turns out several of us had to leave the theater sick.

Turns out it was some weird, bad motion sickness. The bouncing of the camera messed with my brain which messed with my stomach. I have the same problem with the Bourne Supremacy. Too much bouncing. LOTR on IMAX almost killed me.

It's weird. Roller coasters, boats, riding backwards in a train... nothing bothers me. But bouncy camera work send me one way to Puke City.

The Breakup. Ugh. I felt so tricked and used (they marketed it as a comedy!) and uncomfortable because it was like sitting through a real couple's breakup. That was no comeback from Ms. Aniston, that was medieval torture.

I wish I walked out of Blades of Glory, Stay Alive, and Pearl Harbor.

As far as rentals go, my husband and I almost made it our mission to steal every possible copy we could find of "A.I" and BURN THEM.

The first 15-20 minutes of that movie weren't bad actually, but when it started sucking, it sucked like a half-starved calf on a three-day speed trip.

Sweet Moses and Floyd, that was a shitty movie.

I've never walked out of a movie, but there have been a few I retured to the video store or Netflix after ten minutes of viewing:

The Black Dahlia (What a piece of shit.)
Date Movie (NOT my idea)
xXx (again, NOT my idea)

And even though I paid for the headphones during a United flight from Denver to New York, I took them off and fell asleep after the first twenty minutes of Cars.

TROY. The rape scene made me queasy, even if it was a buffed-up Brad Pitt.

"What About Bob" with Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray. Ugh. What a piece a crap that film was and annoying too. My boyfriend at the time choose this over "Goodfellas"! FREAKIN' "GOODFELLAS" (sorry had to shout on that one) Should have dumped his ass sooner. What an asshole.

I'm cheap and have a really high tolerance for bad movies that I have paid money for, I just hate to leave...you never know it might get better.

That being said we have walked out of 2 movies.
The first had fucking Suzanne Sommers and Donald Sutherland in it.
So bad I can't remember the name of the drek.
About dolphins...I think. At one point Sommers announces that she does not wear underwear and it is downhill from there.
Just a horrible movie.

The other?
The Lonely Woman, Pia Zadora, $1 movie after about 20 min in.

Once, and only once... I totally walked out on a date no less on Batman and Robin. We went to the midnight show, the day before it came out. Such a mistake. I wanted to leave, but it wasn't until she gave us the go-ahead that I knew I had a winner.

I did sit through Wrongfully Accused at the theatre though.

I walked out on/left the room with the DVD on:

Step Up
The Good Shepherd
The Notebook
The Producers
Art School Confidential

And when I walk out, which is usually within the first half hour, I ALWAYS ask for my money back. Don't let the pimply kid at the box office scare you away from $10 that you should totally be able to reclaim.

I left for a goodly portion of "A Knight's Tale," although I had to return for my ride. How is that movie okay ever?

1.Bolero (not even Bo dereks honey covered tits could save it)

2. Cyborg - Fuck you Jean-Claude

3. Saw - I saw it for FREE at a sneak preview and walked out because it was SO FUCKING STUPID!!!!!!

4. Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow - coolest looking crappy film - ever

5. Goldeneye- actually made me physically ill, shat and vomited for 2 hours after the first 25 minutes.

The only movie I actually walked out of was Date Movie. I think it was right after the scene with the cat fucking Grandma's corpse, I had enough.

I almost walked out of Phenomenon, but my ride enjoyed it. I wanted to walk out of Superman as soon as I realized he was a deadbeat Dad, but I stayed hoping it was Luthor's trick or something. It wasn't. :(

The Somers & Sutherland flick was called "Nothing Personal" and had seals instead of dolphins.

Sorry, that should be chose and not choose. Also there is some punctuation missing. I still burn with such red hot fury at missing "Goodfellas" in the theater that I can't even type correctly.

Movies I've actually left:

1) Friday Night Lights. I was not enjoying the movie, but I would have sat it out; my friend/ride had to leave about half an hour in.

2) Kicking and Screaming. This one, my friends and I left to our own volition. I think we had maybe one chuckle throughout the entire hour we stayed. Good God.

Movies I Should Have/Wanted to Leave:

1) Date Movie. Well, it was part of a scenario that culminated in a girl asking me to a dance, but the movie was still miserable.

2) Mulholland Drive. Enjoyed it within the first hour or so, but just got more and more fed up with it and rode it out just so I could battle the pretentious fans of the movie more effectively.

Patrick- I also walked out after the Date-Movie-cat- scene. I am a totally offensive and rude person but even that was too much for me. I'm sure there have been several Sandra Bullock movies I've walked out on too, just can't remember them-

The only movie I ever walked out on in the theatre was punch-drunk love.. i was bored to tears, and i decided that it would be a better use of my time to go flirt with the guy who took my ticket. (i was 17 at the time, and had to wait for my dad and sister to finish the movie).
as for dvds... i've never finished titanic or moulin rouge, despite having tried to watch each a couple of times

1. Meet Joe Black. I was with some people, so I couldn't actually leave, but I did wander into the theater lobby, play some video games for about half an hour, and meander back in to see if it was over yet. I swear it was still the same damned scene.

2. Jurassic Park 2: Whatever the Fuck it Was Called. I have no memories of this movie. Except that it sucked, and I walked out.

3. Gladiator.

4. The Sea Inside and The Assassination of Richard Nixon. In different circumstances, these might have been good. A local theater in Norwich showed "mystery previews" of upcoming films. You buy your ticket, you take your chance. But if you walked out in the first half hour, you get your money back.

Windtalkers: Nick Cage pretends to be deaf but somehow fails to convince me.

Scooby Do: It made my soul hurt.

Never walkd out but I've actually paid to see

Godzilla
Battlefield Earth
Jason X

Wasn't too bad, I had some laughes.

I desperately wanted to walk out of "Saw," but I was with a group of teenage boys who were loving it, and plus I needed them to give me a ride home.

So, the first movie I actually walked out on was The Da Vinci Code. I went and saw it by myself at the latest showing, and I was SO bored 45 minutes in that I just took off and drove home. It felt great. I thought the book was fun, if inane, but the movie was so tedious.

What a walk down Shitty Movie Memory Lane this is. I happen to be reading an article about movie costs/profitability and the lack thereof. It might not make some of you happy to be reminded that according to this article, "The Blair Witch Project" (which indeed sucked balls) made over $248 million, worldwide (gross) and cost $35,000 to make.

I also remembered another movie I should have walked out on: "Threesome," starring Lara Flynn Boyle and that Baldwin brother who I think is a Jesus freak now and some other guy. Waste of time and money. For everybody involved.

I can't believe no one has said Summer of Sam. Only movie I've EVER walked out of. Ick Ick Ick.

I've never had the pleasure of walking out on a movie, but only because my husband is cheap and refuses to do so. I'm not even sure which part of House of 1,000 Corpses made me turn to the hubby and say "I'm ready to go when you are", but we didn't leave. Unlike Siegal, I waited until the movie ended to loudly announce that Mr.Zombie's debut was the worst piece of shit that I had ever seen. Rob Zombie can lick my balls. Hostel was another one that I wasn't allowed to leave.

Now DVDs that I've walked from, let's see...Garfield, Van Helsing, The Forgotten, Derailed, Remember the Titans, Radio, Frequency....too many to recall.

The only film I've walked out of is "Gerry." Ten minutes of the marooned on a rock / let's make a dirt mattress scene was just too much.

I totally fell asleep during Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

I rarely walk out on movies. When I go to the movies I stay and watch the whole thing. Even if it's terrible. The ones I have walked out on were a long time ago:

1) Philadelphia

I left because the friends I went with at the time got really upset and couldn't watch Tom Hanks' character die.

2)Cops and Robbersons (with Chevy Chase and Jack Palance)

I left to make out with my boyfriend at the time. I never did see the end of it.

3) Car 54 Where Are you? (the 1994 movie version)

This was actually so, so, so painfully bad.

4) Da Vinci Code

I didn't actually leave per se, but I fell asleep twice it was so boring.

The only movie I ever walked out of was Random Hearts. It was the worst movie EVER...boring and horrible and depressing. Ick. I fell asleep through every one of the new Star Wars movies...my boyfriend made me go see them because he is obsessed with all things Star Wars and I had never even seen the old movies so I: a.) had no idea what was going on and b.) didn't care.

Oh, yeah! I just remembered the only movie that I actually walked out on:

Patch Adams

It was so super-retardo and, thankfully, a friend's car broke down and we had to leave the theater to go pick him up, else I might have finished watching this piece of crap.

Robin Williams: YOU SUCK. I can't believe you've been crapping all over your own credibility for the last twenty years.

"O" the Othello remake. It was just stupid and bad.

Alright, Alanna, a Duke City shout-out!

Only once has a movie been so bad that I walked out - Young Einstein w/ Yahoo Serious...

Oh and I fell asleep during "Rugrats: The Movie"

Even the popcorn and giant Coke my mother used as bait to get me to take my sisters couldn't keep me awake.

1. The Terminal:
What a horrendous pile of crap. Left with 20 minutes to go but I couldn't take another second of Tom Hanks' stupid accent and over-acting.

2. Two Weeks Notice

3. Saving Private Ryan:
Left after 10 minutes of violence, maybe that was a mistake, maybe not.

Should have walked out of: Passion of the Christ.

1. Caligula. This one was so bad, I walked out of the theater and just kept on going. My friend who had driven us there caught up with me when I was about halfway home.

2. Neighbors. I think that's what it was called, John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd? I remember sitting in the lobby, on the floor, waiting and waiting, and knowing that I made the right choice.

3. The Astronaut's Wife. Didn't see it in the theater, but I think I set a new speed record for my TiVo. Watched the whole movie in about 11 minutes. Because 30 seconds of Johnny Depp as a blond Texan was 29.5 seconds too much. I love Depp, but godamighty he's made some horrible, horrible movies.

4. Maximum Overdrive. Didn't leave, but got drunker'n shit on Milwaukee's Best at the theater that served beer, and STILL knew that 18-wheelers aren't scary. Under any circumstances. At all. Anyone who claims that Stephen King is a master storyteller? This is my response. "But 'The Green Mile' was fantastic!" Maximum Overdrive. "C'mon, what about 'Stand by Me'?" Maximum Overdrive. It is an argument-ender.

I walked out on Sin City and I slept through the newest Batman movie.

Although my friends and I should have walked out of Arthur or Camelot or whatever that shit with Knightly was, the only movie I ever walked out on was About Schmidt. Fucking ridiculous.

The only time I ever walked out of a film was when I made the mistake of seeing The Queen when I had the flu. But I walked back in 5 minutes later and saw it again the next day, so it was all fine.

I've seen wretched films in theaters, but I just can't bring myself not to sit through the whole thing. I spent that 10.50-13.50 on a ticket and god damn it I'm going to amuse myself for those worthless 90 minutes, even if it's by starting to write a really bitchy review in my head during the film.

I don't know if this counts, because I walked out out of fear and not horrible loathing of the movie in general, but:

1. The Ring

And that's all she wrote.

From Dusk Til Dawn - We actually talked to strangers in the parking lot about how incredibly bad it was.

Walked out of: The Screaming Dead. Crappy B-movie horror. It was the premiere so the director and cast were there. Damn, that felt good.

Fell asleep during: Godzilla. The American remake with Matthew Broderick.

Wish I'd walked out of: Napolean Dynamite, Vanilla Sky, and City of Angels.

I almost never walk out of movies. Mostly because I don't see films in the theater unless I'm fairly certain I will enjoy them. Partly because once I've coughed up my ten bucks I feel obligated to see this thing through to the end.

I did, however, walk out on Syriana. After about an hour I still had no idea who any of the characters were or why I should give a shit about them, I was bored out of my skull, and I was starting to get a migrane. This was also about the time I took George Clooney's dull, self-important ass off my top 5.

Hope Floats. I had to wait outside the theater for the duration of the entire, crappy thing cuz no, my friends wouldn't leave.

I wanted to walk out of LA Confidential. Went to see it with my parents at parent's weekend in college. Dad and I wanted to leave but Mom was sleeping so we didn't want to wake her and besides - we bought the XL popcorn and pop with free refills. We are still trying to figure out what the hell that movie was about.

Starship Invasions
Night of the Comet
Home Alone
The Covenant

I sometimes like that brand of over the top comedy, so I liked both "Soapdish" and "What About Bob?". So sue me.

The first movie I ever walked out on was "Mortal Kombat" and we only went because my little brother was dying to see it. We walked out just when the fighting was getting good and the special effects were getting crappy (only about 10 min. in) and my dad said "that's it, we're leaving!" At the time it really bothered me that we left because 1)I'm cheap - even though I didn't pay for it, it felt like a waste and we didn't get to see another movie and so I was pretty pissed at my brother for picking that movie in the first place, and 2)I have that whole "need to finish a movie" problem. I've since seen more of it and couldn't sit through the whole thing, so it was probably a blessing that my dad dragged us out of there. But my brother was pissed!

I went to a bunch of crappy movies in high school but I got a lot more discriminating right about the time I stopped having to go to the movies in "groups". I'm just lucky I never got stuck watching a Van Damme flick, but did have to suffer through some Arnolds and Stallones.

I walked out on Ichi the Killer. Disgusting and not even interesting.

I'm sorry to say I sat through Ultraviolet, Equilibrium, and Waterworld. We own the DVD of Equilibrium and just skip to the fighting scenes, there's really no story anyway. Waterworld is good for a laugh nowadays, but damn if it wasn't a huge waste of time in the theater.

Pearl Harbor was AWFUL! I sat through the whole thing because I have relatives who were there and I wanted to see if they got it right which of course they didn't! Josh Hartnett was bad but Ben Affleck was way worse and so annoying! And there were so many factual inaccuracies that we were grumbling through the whole thing. I would much prefer a good documentary.

1) The Pallbearer

I was like 12 and this godawful retarded movie with david (fucking FRIENDS) schwimmer and gwyneth paltrow. UGHHH.

2) You Got Served

We actually won tickets to this from a radio contest. We thought it would be awesomely bad. Christ. It was just BAD

3) Star Wars Episode 2

When Anakin said something like "I don't like sand. It's course and gets everywhere" and then they giggled and rolled around in flowers I just had say FUCK THIS and left. I got my money back though. ;)

I walked out on the first movie I took my youngest brother to- The Mask. He was so upset but I couldn't sit through it so we snuck into see True Lies. Man, did he luck out with that switch-a-roo. He was 9 and I covered his eyes during the stripping scene like a good big sister.

Funny, I also waited in line with baby bro to see Phantom Menace... He must be bad luck.

I've only walked out of one movie. I'm a stickler for going to see critically acclaimed movies (the Tomatometer is golden), giving me a higher chance of liking them, so I haven't especially wanted to walk out of too many. But about a year ago my date offered to pay for the tickets if we could go to RV, stay for 5 minutes, and then come back to my car for extra canoodling time.

Definitely worth it.

Apparently I have a much different taste than the standard Pajiba reader, because I genuinely enjoyed a lot of the movies you guys walked out on. Hook? Loved it. Benny and Joon? Just darlin'. And I love the Pierce Brosnan Bonds, even though they're overly reliant on FX and have ridiculous storylines. He's just such a classy Bond.

I've never walked out of a movie, but the only one I wish I had was The Butterfly Effect. Shitty and depressing is a hard combination to overcome.

These are dvds I didn't make it through because they were beyond boring, I only go to the theater when I'm absolutely sure its worth it.
1) Flags of Our Fathers
2) Children of Men
3) The Fountain
4) Idiocracy
5) Miami Vice

I'm another one whose never walked out on a movie EVER, and I've sat through some stinkers that have already been named (The Avengers, Van Helsing, Patch Adams...). I even sat all the way through a horribly porntastic anime (Legend of the Overfiend?) in college even after all my friends who'd come with me had already left.

The one movie I really wish I'd left after the first twenty minutes was Clerks. Still to this day, I don't get Kevin Smith nor his humor. My college roommate and boyfriend dragged me protesting to see Mallrates. It sucked as well just like I had predicted.

A few months ago my husband and I rented The Transporter. I got so bored by it that I picked up a magazine and started reading.

It has been pretty interesting reading through the posts at the wide variety of reviled movies here, from the obvious stinkers to revered cult/indie movies and award-winning films.

I've never walked out of a theatre - I don't see that many movies and usually choose ones I actually want to sit through.

However, I recently turned the DVD player off during:

The Breakup
Blood Diamond
Scoop

Wedding fuckin' crashers

Well, MEL BROOKS DRACULA - that was just too stupid. SCOOBY DOO - we only went in there because Bad Boys 2 was sold out, what a mistake! NIGHT WATCH, NOCHNOI DOZOR - I didn't really walk out, but fell asleep. I NEVER fall asleep during movies, so this counts as mentally walking out. There were friends, you know...

King Kong- (peter jackson)I left and came back after an hour, the shit was STILL going on.

Tibet - the one with brad pitt, im not sure the actual name though, and i dont want to imdb it! but it was hurrendous. after the first 5 minutes i left.

Prince of Egypt- this one i wanted to walk out on but couldnt as i was with my younger sister.

Lord of the Ring- mentally walked out by sleeping through most of it.

Hackers - useless, useless movie from time before Angelina Jolie was known.

Three Days in the Valley
The Craft

You have to list:

"A.I." - what a steaming pile of trash

"The Wedding Singer" - honestly, I did walk out of the theatre for this one... I heard there was a fun scene with Billy Idol but I couldn't stand it, the movie was so cliche it was painful.

The only movie I can clearly remember turning off in dusgust (not because I was seven and the wicked witch was scaring me) is:

Black Ninja. Worst movie of my life. If any of you have seen it, you know what I mean. The cover = lies. All lies. :(

Fear-dot-com
If you *need* an explanation, try (try!) watching it. All the way through. I didnt make it...

Paddydog said: The Ladykillers (Coen Brothers version): To this day, I don't believe the Coen Brothers were responsible for that piece of turd and it made me hate Tom Hanks forever

I'm with you. There are only two movies I've ever walked out on. The other is Cronenbergs Existenz. I got as far as the bit where Willem Dafoe plugs himself in (about 20 mins in?) and that was that.

I'm ashamed to say I made it all the way through Pearl Harbor and Pirates of the Carribean 3. I should have walked out on both.

First walk-out: "The Erotic Adventures of Zorro." God only knows what my date was thinking. Now, after 25+ years of marriage to that same guy, we've evolved to arguing over our Netflix queue.

Have also walked out on "Kingpin"... though NOT SOON ENOUGH. (Brain bleach, please.) The marijuana fumes wafting from other audience members did not, regrettably, improve the experience.

And, despite its starring the wonderful Cate Blanchett, we walked out of "Elizabeth," which struck us as utterly inert.

If I hadn't been dragged there by some of my oldest friends, I would have walked out on Star Wars I. Sure wish I could retrieve those two lost hours of my life.

The Island of Dr. Moreaou. Foul, weird, stupid.

Fell asleep during Zodiac. Repeatedly. ZZZzzzzodiac.

The only movie I can recall ever walking out of--I'm cheap, and I used to be really picky--was Sphere. God FUCK me.

I can't believe no one's mentioned it. Perhaps even the people who spent money on Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo were too smart to drop a cent on this giant turdsmear.

It was a wretched movie with wretched dialogue and wretched acting and wretched casting and a wretched script, but I stuck it out until the freakin' scrambled eggs. Sam L Jack gets into a (supposed) alien ship underwater in the middle of the night and they cut directly to breakfast the next morning? Where no one's yet asked him what the hell happened, but they're all staring at him passive-aggressively? And he's obliviously going on and on about how tasty the eggs are? Right about the time he said "What's in these? Chervil?" was when I elbowed the future Mr Salieri2 in the ribs and we stalked out to go rent Event Horizon instead.

Which also sucked. But mainly at the end; I still think the first half was a bucket of fun.

I SHOULD have walked out of The General's Daughter, which spent 116 minutes telling us rape and sexual exploitation was bad while showing us as many repeated shots of the raped, exploited victim as it could, both in the ongoing plot and in multiple flashbacks.

And while I would like to have walked out of xXx after the memorable line, "Bitches! Come!" I have to admit that in hindsight it has proved hysterical in casual conversation.

Only movie I recall walking out of in the theatre was "Judge Dredd." Tried to watch it at Brew and View; even hammered, it was so boring we couldn't stand it.

Should have walked out on "Rumor Has It...", that horrid supposed sequel to the Graduate with Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner. There's two hours of my life I'm never getting back.

I think the only movie I've ever walked out on was "Cats Don't Dance" - which is funny to me now, as it's become an enormous guilty pleasures of mine.

However, while not exactly a movie, I did walk out on a theatre production of "Nunsense II" a couple of years back at the Fox Theatre in Detroit. Absolutely horrendous.

Mystery Men-I still remember one fantastic line from it, though, with absolutely no context around it: "I'll fork-give you if you fork-get." My friend and I repeated that for months.

The Divine Secret of the YaYa Sisterhood (how I got talked into seeing it in the first place is beyond me)

Harry Potter and the Something Something. Either the first or the second. I couldn't handle having my mental image of the characters being ruined.

I fell asleep during Cars. I don't understand everyone's praise of this movie-I was bored out of my mind.

I spent about twenty minutes of the third Matrix in the bathroom because I was some sort of group trip and couldn't leave outright.

I've stopped watching way too many DVDs to count, but the most notable one is Garden State. My friend and I had both been told we would LOVE IT TO DEATH, so we gave in about a year later. After about 7 minutes we started fast forwarding and stopping at random moments to see if anything interesting was happening or if Zach Braff decided to utilize inflection. Prognosis? Negative.

The only two movies I ever walked out on were 28 Weeks Later and The Constant Gardener. If it hadn't been for extreme circumstances, I wouldn't have left either, I don't think, but for the former I was absolutely shitfaced (because booze and zombies go together...right?) and my friend threw up in the theater, disgusting me so much that I threw up too/made a run for the bathroom. The latter, I walked out because my date started being creepy and I just couldn't handle being there anymore.

I've never walked out of a movie that I remember. Not because I have like awesome will power skills, I just usually only go to movies I think I'll probably like and save the rest for Netflix. Or a friend chose the movie and it would be rude to leave.

1). Chuck and Buck- I'm sure this is a wonderful film and all, but it is sooo uncomfortable to watch.

2). The Razor's Edge- I heard this movie sucked royally before renting, but I assumed it sucked in an Ed Wood way. Actually it just sucked in a boring way.

3). Seven Samuari- I know...shame...shame...it was horribly dubbed though.

4). North by Northwest- another classic I just couldn't make it through. I'm sure I'm an idiot, but I'd much rather re-watch Vertigo.

Only one: The Passion of the Christ. Not because of any religious objections or anything political, I just thought it sucked.

i never walk out on movies.but i did nearly fall asleep during miami vice ,i could'ent even get over the fact collin farrel had that damn porn star look .it just bothered me with the weird musustach and it just bored the heck out of me.another movie would be pirates 3, i'm a johnny depp fan but dude,that movie was boring and so not funny it was just pathedic.it annoyed me with people saying it was the best pirates movie phttt yah right. spider man 3 sucked too, way to much crying...it was just annoying

one movie i never can understand is minority report.i tried watching it one time but i could barely watch it for 15 min before i almost fell asleep.then this weekend i was majorly bored so i watched it,had nothing better to do.it still confused the hell out of me, i had to force myself to watch it practicly

I have only ever walked out of two movies. I can stand watching a bad movie - these movies committed the mortal sin of not even being interestingly bad.

The first was Master and Commander. This reminded me of nothing so much as a bad Star Trek movie. A captain does battle with a faceless enemy ship that appears out of nowhere when the plot requires - and here's the twist - grows obsessed! They also talk about ships. I can do better thing with my time than watch Russell Crowe sweat for two hours with a half a cast not even trying to fake an accent.

The second was Death Proof. Some of this, no doubt, was that I'd already seen the goofy and exhilarating Planet Terror, and so was A) Slightly tired, and B) Expecting a plot. After 40 minutes of watching a group of interchangable hot women talk the way Quintin Tarentino thinks hot women talk, I was pretty excited just to see them finally leave the bar. And then, having spent nearly half his movie fleshing out 2 of the women, they are promptly killed, punishing whatever viewers tried to take an interest in them. After the movie brought in a pair of seemingly psychic detectives to spout exposition and introducing a completely new set of interchangable hot women talking about blow jobs, I gave up.

I'm really glad that so many people walked out of A Perfect Storm. I REALLY wanted to leave, but my date was really into the movie, and I was hoping to get some. I didn't, and he didn't get my jokes about wanting to go buy a boat.

I walked out of Summer of Sam. The date (hrm. I sense a trend!!) and I just looked at each other and left.

I would have left The Village, but my boyfriend and I were kind of stuck in between some large ghetto people, and so amused ourselves by cracking jokes about mustard and ketchup bottles chasing each other. Or random day trippers stumbling on a lost village in the middle of Memorial Park (in Houston)

This dosen't count, but I ran screaming out of Willy Wonka when I was a kid, but that's cause the Oompa Loompa's scared the fuck out of me.

Ghost Rider. Holy fucking god Ghost Rider.

I've never walked out of a movie. The only one I really wish I would have walked out of was Catwoman. But I went with my dad and he had the keys to the car. So I painfully endured that one. Generally I'm pretty selective in selecting movies to watch. So I'm rarely disappointed enough to warrent a walkout.

Pulp Fiction. I know, I know, but frankly I really didn't care what a royale with cheese was called in France. And expletive laden language is like kryptonite to me, either in movies or in real life.

Romeo and Juliet
-Not because of the film but because of the obnoxious asshole dates of some teenage girls who wouldn't stop saying that it was bullshit and stupid as loud as possible. I later saw it later in peace and quiet.

The Ex
Couldn't even stay for Jason Bateman.

Miss Potter
Reducing an interesting woman, an author, illustrator, botanical scientist, expert mycologist and well respected farmer into a dithering idiot talking to imaginary bunnies? Fuck you.

Wedding Crashers
I know, I know, Pajibans love it. I don't. I found it so...obvious and just really not funny.

I walked out on "28 Weeks Later"

It was a screening set up for my co-workers the night before it opened. Everyone in the theater pretty much riffed it until the rage-zombie-whatever things started rampaging. That's when I said "Fuck it, I gotta be back here for work in 12 hours. Think I'll sleep instead." Turns out half of my co-workers left soon after me.

Wish I could have walked out on "Phat Girlz" "Because I Said So" and "Little Man" but I couldn't because I was doing the tech screening.

Came very close to walking out on "Blades of Glory." Think I laughed once and couldn't remember what the joke was once I walked out.

The only one that I can remember leaving was that Nick Cage "I'm an angel who just stands there looking constipated" movie with Meg Ryan. Dude. We RAN out of that theatre!

1. Napoleon Dynamite. I've always tried to find some good in a movie or something I can relate to but it was impossible. To this day I haven't seen the whole thing and I refuse to.

2. Insomnia (Al Pacino, Robin Willaims). I didn't walk out because I was busy sleeping through it. The irony.

Cinema Paradiso. My fiance loves Rik Mayall with a passion, but I just couldn't sit through this garbage.

A lot of mentions of Van Helsing. I love that movie so much for its unintentional comedy. The moment at the end when he's turning from werewolf to man and howling an anguished NOOOOOOO!!!!! cracks me up.

I've never actually walked out on a movie, cause I'm a cheap bastard at heart and...as this site can attest...you can definitely rip on any movie you've seen. I feel less street cred ripping on a movie that I actually didn't sit through. I HAVE been one of the last two in my Hannibal Rising group to remain after the Ray Liotta (spoiler alert!!) losing his scalp thing, which was especially funny considering how close to the end it was anyway. But, I did have Mono once in high school and was rendered paralysed on our couch...for some serendiptous reason, the "Request" channels (early on-demand for the young-uns) had some sort of glitch and for most of this time, and we ended up getting all of their channels free 24/7 during this month-long period. And although I had the opportunity to watch "Batman and Robin" at any 2 hour point, I never actually was able to sit through it...the presence of George Clooney and occasional mono-induced comatose still couldn't save that movie for me. To put this in perspective, I sat through Armageddon and Con Air on multiple occasions (even taking into acount that none of these viewings were all in one sitting.)

Grindhouse.

Well, technically, Death Proof.

And not the whole thing. I'd seen it before, and thought the first half or however much was BEYOND boring, so I enjoyed Planet Terror, and then ducked out to read my much much much more interesting book in the lobby, and then popped back in for the car stunts in the end.

That's the only one I can actually recall...

I usually walk out before the movie starts - meaning, I usually stay home to avoid the "Ghost Riders" and "Thin Red Lines" of the world.

There are on
