The movie I wanted to walk out on was Deliverance but didn't because we were with another couple. I still consider it way up there as one of the most disgusting movies ever made.

Walked out on a Peter Falk movie many years ago. Can't remember what got me to go in the first place. Then wife probably made me go.

Frank Zappa's 200 Motels. There ain't enough drugs and alcohol on the planet for that to be any good. Can't remember why I went to see it in the first place.

Not to mention that you don't have to wear pants at home. Movie theaters are very narrow minded about attire...or lack thereof.

Never walked out on one in a theater, but I have stopped watching a lot of rentals when I realized they sucked. When I was about 11 or so, my parents made me go sit in the car during Deliverance.

I was dating....
I was dating my present wife back when 'Thunderbolt and Lightfoot' came out. About halfway through it got so crude that we walked out. Disappointing for a Clint Flick. Things were much more proper in those days and wife wasn't used to all that.
Another one I was enjoying (I don't think it was at a theater) was 'A Fish Called Wanda', when it got to the point where the guy was threatening to eat the fish we turned it off and never finished it.
I've sat through some really awful stuff, much worse in fact and it may have bothered me , but I seldom snapped anything off so fast. I STILL don't want to see it unless somebody tells me the fish is ok.

You go to "Rocky Horror" for the AUDIENCE, not the movie.

"My Dinner With Andre". We waited and waited for something. I don't know what exactly. Left after 30 min. or so.

For several years before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and started using a CPAP machine, it was a common joke with my wife and kids that I would only see the opening and closing credits of any movie...if I sat down for any length of time, especially in a dark room, I would go to sleep. The final straw was when I started going to sleep while driving! Since using the CPAP machine, I now sleep normally, and I can actually watch movies from start to finish.

I'm a Zappa fan also, and I didn't make it 10 minutes into this one! Thankfully, it was only a rental.

There aren't too many movies that were made in the 80's that I still like, but this is still one of my favorites!
And, "the guy" was Kevin Kline, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. I still quote some of his lines!

That BY FAR was the best point of this miserable movie.
And the forum just froze just as soon as I made this post. I had been on here for only a few minutes.

They signed those great actors to make the movie, then went back and added all the pervert stuff, and plenty of it. It's was almost non-stop.

...I won't say what i thought of 'Rocky Horror'.
Now 'This is Spinal Tap' was really funny IF you are familiar with all the rock and roll lore, trends and conventions that spawned it. Nearly everything in the movie was a spoof on 'notorious events' in rock history.

That was NOT what it was cracked up to be. It seemed for a while that any movie that made one of the 360 degree pans around a central subject was deemed to be a great movie.

Wel, I didn't walk out but I was disappointed...
People made a big deal out of 'Chariots of fire' and the theme music was the only interesting part and it wasn't enough to carry the movie.

My wife and I went to see the first Star wars movie when we were dating.
About half way through I told her I really wasn’t getting it, she shook her head and said lets go. We went to the local drive in and hung out.
Neither of us us are into Sci Fi I guess.

I can only think of one movie that I seriously wanted to walk out of. It was The Village, a number of years back. In retrospect, I should have walked out of that relationship as well..

I remember watching Jaws (movie). During the underwater shot when the camera was locked on the hole in the boat and Ben Gardner's
severed head tumbles out of the boat - the lady in front of me shot straight up out of her seat and block my view.
For a moment I thought I passed out!
Decided I would probably get a heart attack next time a similar shot took place so walked out of the theater.

I am not a huge movie fan. In my opinion they only make 1 or 2 movies a year that are any good. I wait until movies come out on tv. That way it doesn't cost me anything to change the channel.

The other couple was thinking, "We'd walk out of this thing if we weren't with somebody else."
Other than that one extremely disgusting scene, I thought Deliverance was a good movie.

Raised on a ranch in New Mexico in the late 50's. We would drive 60+ miles to town big enough to have grocery store and movie theater about once a month or so. My brother and I would always go to the movie while parents shopped. Didn't matter what was showing, we went. I'll never forget watching a war movie "Monkey On My Back". Watched the whole movie and never saw that damn monkey. Should have walked out, but didn't.

I just don't go to movies, and really seldom watch one on TV. It's just not my thing, and I'm not enamored by celebrities. I've never walked out on one, but I have seen one or two, that I wish I hadn't. I do remember when I was a boy, that my older cousin, took me and his two sons, who were around my age, to see "Tom Jones". We were snickering about the language of it, and knew this wasn't the type of movie he wanted us to see. He finally said, "Boys, this movie is bugging me, let's go."

Yes but it was so bad I can't (or don't want to) remember the name of it.
A young Nicole Kidman was in it for eye candy, but that's all I remember.

"In the Bedroom" with Sissy Spacek...worst movie ever!
And I watched "2001: A Space Odyssey" all the way to the end only because I kept thinking that eventually there would be a point to it...

Ben Hur. My father had excruciating back pain from playing Negro League football in the '30s. He just couldn't hack the theater seating for that long. We just had to leave when he couldn't stand the pain any longer.
We had a good dinner at Chiam's afterward though...

"Back to the Future". I found the kid so dumb and unsympathetic.

I don't subscribe to any of the cable movie channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.), but they occasionally have free weekends. It always amazes me how few of the movies they run are worth watching (and how few I've even heard of). I record them on the DVR, and for the majority I stop and erase within the first 10-15 minutes of watching. I suppose that's equivalent to walking out of a theater, except I didn't need to buy a ticket.

I know what you mean, my cable had a free HBO weekend, I think there was 10 different HBO channels. It was terrible, some of that filth could give pornography a bad name. Vomit.

I tried to read the book, "Lord of the Rings" and couldn't get into it so I thought the movie might be better. I walked out of it too!
