Inspired: What movies have you walked out of?

[LindsayDunn228]

I didn't know it was one of the MTV movies when I went. I got about 15 minutes into it and it just felt really trashy so I left.

I've only walked out of one movie so far, and it was long, long ago in the early 80's. I was in high school and my boyfriend took me to see this re-running of some old 60's or 70's movie playing downtown that he said someone told him was great: A Clockwork Orange. It was absolutely the most vile, abhorant movie I could imagine. It was one bizarre rape after another. I saw about 30 minutes of it, and said "that's it for me".

Blech.

I actually started reading this thread to see if someone had posted this movie. This is also the only filmed I've ever walked out of. They played it for free at my college student center (a long time ago). I walked and had a friend tell me later that it wasn't that bad and that I didn't understand the "art" part of the film. I told her it looked like rape to me anyway you slice it! I didn't even last 30 minutes. But from then on I have always questioned whether or not I'm the only one that hated it. So thank you for re-affirming my beliefs that the film was horrible!!

The Flintstones (John Goodman, Rosie O'Donnel)....After about ten minutes I looked at my wife and said "this is STUPID, and not even remotely funny...let's get out of here". She thankfully agreed. This was when all the theatres were in
the shopping malls, so we were able to go into another theater and watch something else.

I slept through the first Batman movie....the lighting in the whole movie was just dark and dreary...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I am too cheap to walk out of a movie after I pay that much for one, but I have slept through many of them! The worst was some movie in the 70s my DM and I went to, I think it was called Family Plots or something like that. My DM and I both fell asleep during the movie and slept through the whole thing!

Hannibal

Silence of the Lamb's had a great plot. Hannibal started with a plot and reverted to gore.

I haven't ever walked out on one, but I did try to convince my friend to walk once (she refused). I am embarrassed to admit that I actually went to this movie, but it was Legally Blonde 2. Hey, the first one was cute!

I just kept thinking, Sally Field, what has become of you?

 

[CathrynRose]

I've only walked out of one, Sin City. Oh I hated it so much, disgusting and B-O-R-I-N-G.

What movies have you walked out of?

4 Weddings and a Funeral...

Didnt find it as amusing as everyone else seemed to. It got 30 minutes, and I was gone.

The other movie was "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover" which I think was actually rated X. Again, everyone thought it would be supersexy, but it was about cannibalism and had a lot of gross violence.

.

I saw this on video and it traumatized me. I had flash backs on it. Truly disgusting. I didn't finish it either.

 

[CathrynRose]

A River Runs Thru It, and I didn't walk out of but should have walked out of Grand Canyon, the most ridiculous movie I have ever seen.

I agree, that A River Runs Through It was completely lame - although I did "stick it out" simply to see Brad ..... he was a hot tamale back then, ooooo, mama!

 

[Tigger_Magic]

I tried to walk out of Solaris, but unfortunately, I fell asleep. Best nap I've ever had in my life! Thanks, George!

 

[clarabelle]

Bright Lights Big City -with Michael J Fox

 

[Tumbleweed]

I have never finished The English Patient. I slept through the end of it in
the theater. Since then, I've started it three times, and have given up on
it. Maybe there's a splashy ending, but I've never managed to sit through
the loooong beginning and loooong middle of the movie to get there.

 

[Mimi Q]

Dune and Night of the Living Dead (or something like that- I was in high school at the time)

 

[RadioNate]

I walked out of Must Love Dogs, The Beach , and Lawnmower Man.

The Beach. That is another one should have have left. What a terrible movie. The thing is it started ok and then just got BAD!

These threads always suprise me because some of my favorites are always listed as horrible. Some I can see why people wouldn't like it but others I just don't get.

 

[Barb D]

Rust Never Sleeps...went with my dad and then-boyfriend (now DH), and DH and I walked out. It was a Neil Young concert movie. I despise Neil Young.

And I wish I'd walked out of Gangs of New York. I went with a coworker while we were on a business trip, and since we were sharing a car I couldn't just leave her there! Way too violent and explicit for me.

I can't count how many DVDs I've just given up on, either out of boredom or disgust.

I haven't ever walked out on one, but I did try to convince my friend to walk once (she refused). I am embarrassed to admit that I actually went to this movie, but it was Legally Blonde 2. Hey, the first one was cute!

I just kept thinking, Sally Field, what has become of you?

I loved Legally Blonde, but I thought Legally Blonde 2 was quite possibly the most embarassingly stupid movie I have ever seen. I was embarassed for the people actually in it.

 

[coliebird]

Trainspotting. That movie is horrible.

This was on cable the other night. I tried to watch it, but couldn't make it through the 1st half hour. It was HORRIBLE.

The only movie I have ever walked out of was Natural Born Killers. I fell asleep during The Abyss so I didn't have a chance to walk out.

ETA - I remember another one I walked out of. I forget the name of it. Jason Priestly was in it and they were looking for Marilyn Monroe. I think it might have been called Calander Girl.

 

[Stitchfans]

This was many years ago, it was Dawn of the Dead. I was so sick I almost couldn't walk out.

Blech.

Hey, at least you got to walk out on it. I had to watch it as an assignment in college. I spent the whole time going "WTH?" That, along with a few other assigned films, made me think my professor was probably a psychopath.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I love movies even horrible ones, except "Trainspotting", that movie scares the HECK out of me.

I don't think I ever walked out of a movie in a theater.

Now DVD's I have quit watching because they were awful.
