Have you ever walked out on a 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..

Live and learn ladies and gentlemen!
 
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.
 
Funny.."everyone"walked out of this movie except me & one other guy!I kept hoping it would get better,it didn't! Natural Born Killers was the movie...at the end as I was leaving,guy asked me..can I get my $$ back...that movie was the worst **** I've ever seen...kept hoping it would get better.I said me too.THEN ....yrs later went to see a movie by the same director movie was "Alexander the Great" I walked out!!I refuse to give that director any more of my $$$!

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.

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.

Apocolypse Now is the only movie I ever walked out of, even though I really like Robert Duvall's classic line about the smell of napalm.

I still remember the tv ads for it when released. The nly part I liked was the helo attack scene.
 
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...
 
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!
