What Movies have you walked out of? (1 Viewer)

Kinda like how Bill Murray and his brother text Kelly Lynch's husband every time the Roadhouse scene comes on where Patrick Swayze is laying the wood to her.  And by "every time", I literally mean EVERY TIME.  If it's playing on a movie channel on the east coast, he gets a text, followed 3 hours later with another text.

From the wiki:

When interviewed by Anthony Bourdain, Bill Murray lauded the film as unappreciated, with a complex plot and respect among actors in the film industry since its release.[27] Kelly Lynch told The A.V. Club, "Every time Road House is on and he [Murray] or one of his idiot brothers are watching TV – and they’re always watching TV – one of them calls my husband and says (in a reasonable approximation of Carl Spackler from Caddyshack), 'Kelly's having sex with Patrick Swayze right now. They’re doing it. He's throwing her against the rocks.'"[28] Murray is the best friend of Lynch's husband, Mitch Glazer, and Lynch herself considers Murray a "buddy".[29][30]

 
San Andreas - Was so disgustingly formulaic. Only reason I was there was it was the middle movie at the drive in. Just packed it in and drove home and skipped the last movie too. 

 
Beetlejuice—just remember having to leave in the first half of the movie because my sister came down with a bad case of food poisoning and having to walk her to and from the restroom entrance every 5-10 minutes made it impossible to attempt to sit through the movie. 

A Thin Red Line- was on a date and the really long/silent intro was a buzzkill. The date was at a relatively large entertainment complex so we ended up going to a Dave and Busters (or similar style place) and a Rock n’ Bowl. It ended up being a really fun date and we ended up going on several more afterwards.  The funny thing is that I actually intended on watching “A thin red line” on my own at some point after the date—and many years later—I still haven’t gotten around to seeing it. Lol

I stayed because I was told ahead of time that I would get to see Mina Suvari’s rack. Thora Birch was a nice bonus.

... talented gal, she kilt it in "AB", and carried "Ghost World" off like the best young actress talent of that generation. 

ex-porn star parents, especially her father Jack, were an impediment to her going forward with any momentum. 

really cool indie Brit feature by the name of "The Hole" with her and a very randy Keira Knightly (circa '99/'00) - well worth the seek out, even the plot is worthwhile. 

oh, and i found AB to be a fantastic ####fest - pure hokum - Birch and Bentley provided what miniscule redeeming qualities were to be had ... but them bones were bare without them. 

she really nailed it, tho 🖤

Back in 1980, myself and a couple of others tried to get ourselves thrown out of the theater. We were watching the Jerry Lewis movie “Hardly Working”. 

We ended up walking out. 
ETA: I just looked up the movie online. Jerry Lewis is basically in yellow face as a chef. Ugh.

For the longest time I blamed it on not being French,  but this might be one of most worthless movies ever featuring a name performer in the lead role.  For those who already hated Jerry Lewis movies, this is even crappier than what you have seen before.  Some other reviews:

Roger Ebert gave it zero stars and called it "one of the worst movies ever to achieve commercial release in this country,  no wonder it was on the shelf for two years before it saw the light of day."  Both Ebert and Gene Siskel included the film in their list of the worst movies of 1981.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 10% rating based on 10 reviews, with an average rating of 2.67/10.

 
As a kid, my Mom almost walked us out of Back To The Beach. She had grown up on Frankie and Annette beach movies but couldn't stand this one. I was 12 and it had Pee Wee Herman and a young bikini wearing Lori Loughlin who had just done RAD. I was all in.

As an adult I don't think I have ever walked out of anything, but I have fallen asleep on more than one occasion, typically an animated movie for the kids and Dad had a beverage or two pre-game.

 
I never walked out of a movie, but fell asleep in moves like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

 
I fell asleep watching of the Transformers movies at a theater in San Diego. I was waiting for a red eye home and had a lot of time to kill. No regrets whatsoever.

Only one: Mom and Dad Save the World

Within a minute or two, my friends from work and I could tell it was hot garbage. We walked into something else playing in the same theater, don't remember what it was. 

I wish I had walked out of Your Friends and Neighbors, which was icky and pointless, but I think my ex-wife and I were too dumbfounded by what we were seeing to take any action.

Neil Labute movies always have a high cringe factor for me.

 
Only two.

Kuffs- A Christian Slater movie that a girlfriend just had to see. I walked out after 30 mins and she stayed.

Domino- Crapfest starring Keira Knightley and Mickey Rourke.

 
Only one: Tombstone. 

I know people mostly like it.  I don't even remember what annoyed me about it, but about 30 minutes in I heard my girlfriend scoff at something stupid, and I was hating the movie, so I asked if she wanted to leave.  She did, so we left.  Felt great.

Even people who don't like westerns love this one.

I don't think I ever have. There were probably some I would have liked to but was with other people.  As I noted in the movie thread, I've never seen so many people walk out of a movie than Uncut Gems. It was like 20-30 people that left in total disgust.

I didn't make it through.  Looked up the ending and was happy I stopped.  Miserable character.

When I was very young my family walked out of a movie that was too scary for me and my sister.  I have a few very vivid memories of it, but have never been able to figure out what it was despite considerable effort over the years.

When I'm watching at home, I frequently punt on movies very early.  Just a couple nights ago, got 10 minutes into Tomorrow War on Prime and pulled the plug.  Aint nobody got no time for a crappy movie.

It was Poltergeist.

 
Les Misérables I'm not a big musical guy went with a friend who wanted to go as he use to be in theatre and hated it. I liked Rock of Ages but the music wasn't annoying like this and I love the animation/disney movies that are. 

I ended up going to watch Zero Dark Thirty that started 10 mins after. My buddy waited in his car and was really pissed at me when I got to the car. I don't think I saw 15 of Les Misérables before I walked out.

This is more my issue. I was with others and there were movies I definitely would've seen but said people I was with would not. If I was by myself or whatever I'd have walked out on a few.

Seriously?  I thought this movie was hilarious.  If I'm flipping channels looking to pass the time I'm stopping if this is on.  Different strokes I guess.

I didn't like it either. I had to watch it in HS again after seeing it in theater with a friend. I actually excused myself to go work on a paper I had to do which my teacher surprisingly let me do instead. I just went to my support class and told them why I was there and the teacher at the time working that classroom was my IEP teacher and was more then thrilled to have me.

One of my favorite things about big budget but bad movies is years later looking up how much they cost vs what they brought in. Hopefully a few Hollywood heads rolled along the way.

My favorite is seeing movies that were trashed when I was in HS getting a big revival for some reason. Megan Fox is back in the headlines (Far better reasons these days got divorced and dating Machine Gun Kelly). Jonah Hex was the movie she was in and she never watched it as everyone told her not to because of how bad she was. She decided last year to finally watch it. To be honest it was one of her best acting movies. She went home decided to get a divorce and go back in the spotlight but only taking smaller roles. She loves Star Wars but doesn't want to do any of those but she definitely has interest in the MCU or DCU movies if something comes a long she likes and offered. 

This was mostly brought up because of the sexism her and some other actresses endured during those times in the 2000s. However it's funny seeing the movies I thought were good then everyone hated now becoming cult like to people.

I was just looking at Wiki in the X year in film categories while trying to remember a few movies I may have walked out of. Found about 3 or 4 from HS I MEANT TO WATCH and STILL HAVEN'T WATCHED YET.

I fell asleep more times during movies then left but it was because I was with others.

Terrible.

The drab colors and slow pace were off putting first time I saw it. But have come to really enjoy this movie in subsequent viewings. Appreciate the nuances and Oldman's performance for which he received a deserved Oscar nomination. Tom Hardy was good too.

The love story sucks and editing was choppy but Kilmer's performance as Doc Holiday was what made the movie fun and carried it for me.

 
The only movie I ever walked out on was The 13th Warrior.  Part of the problem was the audio track was off, made a bad movie completely painful.
