NFT: Whats one movie you walked out of the theater on?

.

with Brad Pitt, Ugh what a snooze. Luckily i got in for free with premiere pass.

Little Shop of Horrors

Congo.

After a few minutes of "Amy" I didn't see any way the movie could be salvaged.

Rocky Horror Picture Show

I don’t recall exactly what prompted me.

The worst movie I've ever seen. I didn't walk out but I should have. Not even Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty could save this dog.

I should have walked out on English Patient, but stuck it out as I thought it couldn't really be that bad.

...

and it wasn't actually walked out on. my wife and I and a another couple went out to dinner and then a movie.

the wives picked the movie.

after about 20 minutes of awful dialog and ridiculous plot I faked a stomach ailment and went to the lobby to play video games. Hung out there for about an hour.

then went back to my seat for 15-20 min and said "uh-oh, stomach issue again" and spent the rest of the evening playing video games and people watching.

Otherwise i rarely go to the movies.

.

seemed like a can't miss blend of sci-fi plot about time shifting. Tom Cruise doesn't make bad movies, right!? Yes he does... YES he does.

I don't know how or why I went to see this movie. It was 1985, so I was about 11 years old and I think the trailer seemed like a fun alien thing, but it was verrrry different when we sat in the theatre. My friends and I bailed about 30 minutes in and played video games in the lobby at the old Tenplex on Route 4 until one of our parents picked us up.

and Ace Ventura Pet Detective 2... could not get past the first 20 min or so it was that bad...

Holmes and Watson with Ferrell and Reilly

i just caught it on cable, i couldnt finish it either

Couldn't take the movie. We walked out after the ball gag scene. However, I really like the movie now.

I even tried once more when it was released on video, couldn't get through it again.

.

A terrible, terrible movie.

Hated it.

Walked out, movie across the hall was just filing in. Walked in, knowing nothing about DEAD CALM.

So, thank you, shitty Road House for getting me to watch Dead Calm!

...King Kong was fucking great! Every woman in the theater flipped when the bug scene hit. Laughed my ass off.

Eraserhead. EPIC.

Big Lebowski. I don't understand. How could someone NOT love that? At least John Goodman!

Little Shop of Horrors - a classic, c'mon - FEED ME!

Rocky Horror? LOL, repressed sexual issues anyone?

Pulp Fiction??? Someone WALKED OUT of Pulp Fiction? It's in my top-3 all time. What is WRONG with you?!

:D

.

The master of disguise. THE worst movie ever made.

I know some people love it, but I couldn't sit through it.

Not in the theater. Rented it, took about 20 minutes to realize it was a Evangelical Rapture flick.

I could not handle that truth.

I am doomed to hell. I am not watching a film about that fact.

:)

But I would have walked out of Downsizing if I wasn't there with five other people. LOL. It was fucking brutal.

What a snoozer.

Me too. I walked out. Still can't watch it.

I brought my 3 yr old and 6 yr old. It scared the shit out of them when the little girl got sucked in on her tricycle in the beginning. They gave us a refund.

Of course, they watched it 10,000x once it came out on video lol

I actually saw that in the theater, but didn't walk out. I was on a date and my date had chosen it, so no matter how putrid it was, I was compelled to sit there with her until the very end.

Fear Dot Com was the one time I did walk out. I would have walked out of Suspect Zero but I fell asleep during it.

committed to goin to the movies i will just stay to the end

I came very close to walking out on Action Park (thought it was going to be Jackass not an actual story)

is easily Leonard Part 6 with Bill Cosby.

I would have included this movie, but I was young when it came out and my friends bother worked as an usher at the theater so we got in free and really just want to hang out with the rest of the hoodlums outside the theater in the plaza.

but we did go in for the start of the movie and didn't last long, just an awful, awful movie.

Wow. I love Edge of Tomorrow. It's one of those movies I get stuck re-watching every time it's on. One of us has bad taste. Probably me.

It was a huge hit and got good reviews from the critics, so the guy who walked out was the outlier.

Very possibly. There are bad movies, we all have seen them, and then there is Leonard Part 6. It's almost like they couldn't make a movie that bad if they were trying to make a movie that bad. And it's not even in the category of so bad it's good like the previously mentioned Roadhouse. It's just awful.

Great episode of King Of Queens. Can't remember Carrie's coworkers name so he just collapses and fakes a heart attack! Brilliant

Didn't see it in the movies, but would agree it was atrocious. It was so bad I kept watching it thinking "something must happen to make this interesting!" It never did. It started off uninteresting and never deviated from that.

Between that and Suburbicon, I feel like Matt Damon owes me some money. Those movies are both abominations.

The critics gave it great reviews, but 20 minutes into it, it was obvious that the critics had to be a bunch of 6-yr olds.

I haven't been to a movie since in over 10 years or more, but if a movie is bad enough, there is no getting upset - not sure if people say they are upset, especially (and only) if others agree with me, I have no issue walking out and doing something more worthwhile with my valuable time.

...but how hard was is to watch Slumdog Millionaire, when the kids eyes are burned out?

Great movie, but Christ, that scene was brutal.

unless you are going into a movie completely blind then I don’t know how it’s possible.

Little Nicky is something I’d probably walk out on but only if someone tricked me into going in the first place. It isn’t something I’d ever pay for.

Awful movies are completely avoidable.

I've never walked out, but was tempted to by the rave scene in Matrix 2, the stoopidest scene in film history. I began rooting for the robots.

So when I go now, I am going specifically to see a specific movie. When I was young, however, and smart phones didn't exist, there were plenty of times when a group of us would be sitting around and someone would say, "hey, let's go to a movie" and we'd get in the car and go to the theater and see what was playing. Might not heard of one, but the poster and the description sounded cool so we'll give it a shot. That's how I ended up seeing Suspect Zero, which was awful.

YES! Finally someone who agrees with me about the Matrix series.

The special effects were cool in the first one (less so when they were repeated in the sequels, only more exaggerated) but the plot of those movies was always ludicrous.

it seems more prescient now than it did ten years ago. We're in a simulation and the architects got bored.

Never saw the ending. But let me guess, after 1.5 hours of awful love story, there was a surprise attack by the Japanese...

and I wish I would've bailed on Fury Road, but I sat and suffered.

I don't think everyone is as selective as you I guess. How many replies to this thread? Over 60 people in a couple hours listed movies they walked out of. I did not actually walk out per se, but I saw a shitty movie and I posted the reasons.

Also, during high school I worked as an usher at a movie theater and it was a long time ago with less access to information before going, but people walked out - and got a refund if they did so in the first 30 min.

it probably still happens now.

what a shit show.

You had your local paper's review section, a handful of national critics, and that was it. No way to readily access those reviews either. That's how I ended up asking my parents to take me to Howard the Duck many moons ago - it looked funny in the commercials and we had little to tell us otherwise.

We didn't walk out of that one, but a bunch of people did.

I’m just saying that if you want to be selective it takes very little effort.

used to take us to the movies when we were kids. She made us walk out of Biloxi Blues during the prostitute scene and took me to the lobby for the end of Back to the Future because she thought my heart was beating too fast. This prompted a subsequent doctor's visit which was unnecessary, the movie just had an exciting ending, especially for a 6 year old.

I never made the decision on my own.

Oh Greg... all you had to do is look at the trailer... I wouldn't have gone anywhere near that. They probably use that movie for torture in some countries.

Spoiler Alert for those of us that haven't seen it yet????

I was living up in PA at the time and it was amidst a heat wave. No AC in the house except for individual bedrooms. Went to the movies to cool off for the afternoon and enjoy a laugh. About a half hour in, I opted to take my chances in a heat wave than endure another minute of that trash.

but I wish I'd walked out of "Natural Born Killers." Was with my brother, he insisted on staying. Afterward, he hated it even more than I did.

Girlfriend wanted to leave so I went along with it. I was just there for the stunts so I was good. My fault for bringing her.

Okay, but how old were you and your siblings? That's an adult movie. A slow movie - true - but a terrific story.

We lasted 30 minutes and it was actually painful.

I believe these were right around the same time period as well...

The Big Lebowski is actually a brilliant reimagining of Raymond Chandler's seminal novel The Big Sleep.

If you did not enjoy it, then I would suggest checking out Turner Classic Movies. I think they have an Errol Flynn marathon coming up soon. Did you know he was actually an expert fencer in real life?

My girlfriend at the time and I had free movie Tuesday tickets and went to see Men in Black 3 because there was nothing good out.

We walked out about 15 minutes into the movie when Will Smith looks at an Alien and says something like "You look like you from the planet damn."

I especially liked the part where a guy with no arms carried a guy with no legs on his back. And all of the rotting flesh.

Disco Duck, Barbarella, Jumanji and Braveheart

That's, ah, different

I'm almost intrigued to know more about the taste of someone who's sensibilities were offended to the point of walking out of Crouching Tiger, Big Lebowski, Lost in Translation, or Pulp Fiction. That's genuinely fascinating.

I fell asleep in the middle of Pulp Fiction.

Five Easy Pieces.

We're used to antiheroes like Bobby Dupea today, but in 1970 I imagine he was pretty shocking and upsetting to older audiences.

there was nothing left to see.

With Braveheart, when I saw it originally in the movies, I did see a few people leave when they started torturing him to death near the end. The entire tone of the movie changed at that point. Instead of draw and quarter, it should have been draw and Bitcoin.

proof that there were some measures that a young adult aged jcn wouldn't undergo to get into a woman's pants. Made it about halfway.

But for "SWAT", I kept getting interrupted by a phone call, and once the plot was figured out (it was pretty easy to figure out), I stalled before the very ending to answer it.

Walked out of District 8 for an emergency, then went to a later showing to see the end. I probably shouldn't have gone back.

Twice.

Took a date to Starship Troopers. What a mistake that was. I had loved the book, which is why we went, but the movie was complete crap. A waste of time.

The other was taking my dad to see League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Again garbage that push the suspension of disbelief too far. Another completely awful movie.

Up in the Air was well-done and the acting was great, those are my two favorite actresses but the plot just didn't interest me at all. I left and went into another movie.

Bridesmaids, I do not remember much of the movie at all to be honest. I went with a group and then I think I just left for another movie that was pretty bad but I was just glad I was out of there. If I remember correctly a bunch of women getting ready for a wedding in a train like fashion is not in my wheelhouse. Sorry.
