3000 Miles to Graceland. That film was horrible.

I did not see these movies in the theater

• Event Horizon - Rented the VHS of it back in the day and returned it about 45 minutes later. WTF on that movie
• Billy Elliott - My wife wishes she had never rented it and tried to have me watch it. I still bring it up whenever there is some movie she wants to see that I have never heard of. "Is it as bad as Billy Elliot?"

another weird one to use as a reference point for "terribleness".

Wallace & Gromit - had no idea it was a kids movie and was not there with kids

Only reason I stayed through Blair Witch Project was because I was wasted and was rooting for the witch.

Wish I had left Natural Born Killers...Juliette Lewis' voice made me want to kill someone..avoid every movie with her after that

Juliette Lewis' face makes me want to avoid every movie with her in it

Wife and I also walked out of an opera in Rudder during an intermission. I think we were given the tickets, though.

---

Much more willing to leave a show if the tickets are free.

Classic sunk cost fallacy.

both times i left a movie early we asked for and received a refund.

I've never walked out on a movie at the theater but I wish I had left "The Tree of Life" and "Interstellar". Both boring and slow as ferk.

I fell asleep at the theater during "Unforgiven" and "Ready Player One".

At home, we stopped watching "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "Dinner with Schmucks".

It sounds like you just don't like movies.

I've never walked out of a movie theater, but I've just stopped watching a couple movies on netflix/rentals. Maybe ive just been lucky/smart enough to not see bad movies in theaters.

I walked out of Avatar. That movie just kept dragging on and on. For the life of me I still can't understand why so many people thought it was a great movie.

---

Avatar was not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it was an absolute technical marvel and one of only two movies that I felt really did 3D correctly. What ruined it was terrible writing and a hamfisted environmental message that it just constantly beat you over the head with.

I saw the movie in CS. I had graduated, but was still dating a girl who was in school, so I went and caught a matinee while she was in class. I sat there, sighing through the preaching, but enjoying the special effects. But what finally got me was when the battle turned through a literal deus ex machina and the characters called it out as such. I didn't walk out, but I did say "Come on" out loud.

To actually answer the question, I went with two buddies to see the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake in high school. One was iffy on horror movies and the other was high, so after the chick shot herself in the beginning, they both wanted to nope out of there. We went across the hall to Kill Bill Vol 1, which was just starting, and watched that instead.

Nope, but heavily considered two times:

Natural Born Killers. Was in a group of about eight. We all wanted to but no one would take the initiative.

V for Vendetta. Hated every aspect of that film. Still don't know why I stayed.

---

I will give you a half blue star. Agree on Natural Born Killers. Garbage movie that was about shock and awe.

I really like V for Vendetta though. Just watched it a few weeks ago.

"Home is Where the Heart is".

If this is the movie where Padme lives in the Wal-Mart, then I'd agree on that. I was lucky enough to avoid it in the theater but I watched quite a bit of it at home with the wife and it's possibly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's not even Hallmark Channel level. Good Lord it was awful.

I'm sure I'll get flamed, but Kingpin

About 20 years ago, I was in college dating someone that I thought I would do anything for. She wanted to go see "Hope Floats". I started it and I could not handle it. Weighing my options, I choose to go to the restroom, decided to play a few video games in the arcade, ordered popcorn, coke, nachos, and hot dog.

Came back into the theater about 30 minutes later. My date was confused at the notion that I had stomach trouble that made me miss so much of the movie, but then ordered about 18 things from the concession stands.

A few years later, I had a very similar experience with "Home is Where the Heart is".

Both movies left me wondering, what movie exec watched those things and said, "Yeap, let's put this out for distribution."

---

Hope Floats. I wasn't naive enough to see that in theatres but one night when I came to bed, my ex was up watching that movie on Netflix. Saw about two minutes of it and realized I wouldn't even be able to fall asleep listening to that garbage.

Ending up falling asleep in the living room playing Far Cry 5.

The only movie I ever walked out of a theater on, was Night of the Living Dead. I have not watched a zombie movie, since.

I have never walked out of a movie and personally never would, some of the best times I've had have been when I was trapped watching a horrible movie with a friend with a similar sense of morbid humor. The movies that bother me the most are the ones that are horribly formulaic or just awfully made - and they can both be funny. I've paid money to watch and I'm going to get something out of it. There have been cases I've been in a movie I really didn't like at all and not finding anything amusing about it, but still wouldn't walk out. Admittedly, I generally have nothing better to do.

The Color Purple.

It may be good but "a little too much realism for a Friday night."

You sure you were in the right movie?

what were you expecting based on
a. it's the Farrelly brothers
b. the previews
c. the reviews while some liked it they certainly painted it as what it was

It delivered on exactly what it was and what it was advertised to be - a dumb comedy.

The only reason you maybe should be panned is - why would you go to a movie like this in the first place if those things didn't appeal to you?

Although I guess I should say - I'm a Farrelly brothers fan - but I hated a couple of their movies too. But never enough to walk out they were all about what you should expect from them.

Kind of a weird response considering the thread is 5 pages of people listing basically "good" movies that they for one reason or another didn't like enough to stay.

Actually no it's not like that. I don't thing kingpin is a great movie by any measure. Maybe not even "good" really. Quite the opposite.

But Don't you think a Farrely brothers movie especially after dumb and dumber was kind of a known quantity. Not saying somebody couldn't hate that movie. Sure. I get that. Maybe he was dragged to it who knows. All I'm saying is you could not have been surprised that it was a crude and dumb movie.

That's like going to a Disney movie and walking out because one of the parents dies. That's a given.

Exhibit A, The Last Jedi

Point being, there were 150 replies, and all of them someone coulda written a 5 paragraph breakdown filled with trailer clips and alleged opening reviews and all kinds of other pointless data telling someone why they were wrong to walk out, but only you did.

No I didn't. Not at all and you are STILL completely missing the point.

I never said he was wrong to walk out. In fact I've repeatedly said it's NOT a good movie. Which is justification enough to walk out. I can't figure out why he went to the movie in the first place.

In fact that is EXACTLY what I said here:

Get it???

The difference to me among those another 150 movies was often you do go in blind or based on good reviews or word of mouth - I can't believe there were enough good reviews, word of mouth, or you could be in the dark about the level of "humor" in kingpin.

But whatever, don't care to discuss with you any more.In fact I never was discussing it with you, you felt the need to discuss it with me I guess. Done.

He didn't like it dude... who gives a ****

Interstellar? Avatar?

Jesus Christ

In 1981... "Smokey Bites the Dust"... terrible.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083097/

I generally like the Farrelly Bothers products....that's why I went. Was not expecting it to be that bad.

Magnolia.

Me, my ex-wife, and my parents.

Opening scene plays..... My dad who has 5-6 people between himself and me (including mom and ex-wife) leans his head forward and YELLS at me in a crowded theater, "YOU READY TO GO YET?"

We got up and left.

Lol

I hate Magnolia. So. Much.

Not sure how anyone could like it. Glad I never saw it in the theater.

I thought Magnolia was great.
