Last movie you walked out on.
For me, it was "Batman and Robin".

Wow, that was one bad film. I'm sorry I paid money to see it.

And if you walk out on a film, is it OK to ask for your money back?

1. Eyes Wide Shut
I love Stanley Kubrick but it saddens me that his last film was this piece of crap with the most annoyingly horrible music score

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I kept falling asleep during it, so I left my companions and walked around downtown until it was over. Tried to watch it again when it came out on DVD, and same thing happened -- I fell asleep.

5. I've never walked out on a film, no matter how bad. Sometimes I wish I had.
I wish I had walked out on Austin Powers; The Spy Who Shagged Me. :puke:

I nearly walked out on "Idiocracy", and I saw it on cable at home! Its vision of the future was just too squalid and tawdry for me. Still, I stayed till the end.

6. The Englishman Who Walked Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain
The only movie I have ever walked out on intentionally, i.e., thinking "Get me out of here!" Although I do check out of movies on TV from time to time, I never consider leaving one in the theater and get annoyed when the people I'm with suggest it. I made an exception for this BORING bomb. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

8. Never walked out on a movie, but
"Batman & Robin" was the closest. If I wasn't stuck in a strange town with the only lift home being the guy I was watching the film with (who enjoyed it), I'd have been out of there.

9. Chicago
I was trapped in the middle of the row for House of Sand and Fog or else I would have walked out on that too.

11. Before I even clicked on this thread...
I said to myself Batman and Robin..I must be psychic! I got my money back by saying I was religious and that I didn't know there was so much violence in it.:shrug:

13. I nearly walked out on Sideways.
I don't think I've ever actually walked out of a movie. Blues Brothers 2000 was another close one.

14. Had I seen SW in a theater, I would have.
As it was, Mr. B watched it through and I picked up a good book.

I kept thinking it was going to get better and it didn't . I walked.

50. Its the only movie in my life
where I can say that full frontal male nudity was the best part. The most over-rated movie of the decade.

15. "Wild, Wild, West" I loved the TV program, but the movie was wretched and yes--
I asked for my money back and got it (mostly because the theater crowd was very unruly and the manager could not get a grip on it).

18. The Magdalene Sisters
It's not that it wasn't a good movie. It was apparently. Got rave reviews and was very popular, but I just couldn't stand to watch the cruelty and sadism that the nuns inflicted on those poor girls. I went across the street and waited in a deli for my friends who went to the movie with me.

19. That rape scene in the beginning was no picnic, either.
I wish I hadn't seen it.

Not graphic, but SO unexpected, brutal, and quick.

Ugh. Can't UNSEE things, can we?

But maybe better watched at home where you can take a break...go get a breath of fresh air, and then go back to it.

41. I Think You're Right
I may rent it to watch at home one evening. We'll see. I just don't have the stomach for that kind of violence. Funny thing is, I love gory violent horror films, but I just couldn't stomach this one. It just seemed too personal and / or shocking for me.

21. Sin City.
I have seen it in bits and pieces on cable since, and I still am not crazy about it. In the theater, the violence was very upsetting to me and gave me some very scary dreams later on.

30. A British film of As You Like It in which Arden Forest was portrayed
by a junkyard and all the forest dwellers were homeless people. Aside from the stupid concept, the sound track was badly mixed, and while I can usually understand English accents, even obscure ones, I do need an occasional consonant in the words, not just "Aeh-ooh-ow-ah-oh."

I'm all into geriatric sex...I hope I'm still going at it in my 70s and 80s (although my spouse is 14 years older than me, yikes!). However, there just comes a point where some things are better left to the imagination...

42. I *almost* walked out on Inland Empire
the David Lynch movie.

It just would not end, and it was utterly pointless and crazy-making.

BF at the time wanted to leave, but I stuck it out. We broke up like a week later.

43. SCARY MOVIE 1
And yes, the fact that they made 3 sequels to that piece of excrement (with a fourth on the way) depresses me mightily. Any movie with the word "Movie" in the title is just bad news, as far as I'm concerned.

On the other side of the coin, I saw Sideways TWICE in theaters, I enjoyed it so much. What didn't you guys like about it?

I had my nephew with me. He was NOT a big fan of Dark Phoenix.

That whole scene on the rocky beach scared the crap out of him so we had to get outta there.

48. I wish I'd walked out on Notting Hill.
Hated it, hated it, hated it. Did I mention that I hated it?

Which doesn't make sense, because I tend to enjoy Richard Curtis screenplays (except when he gets too carried away, as in this case) and enjoyed Roger Michell's film Persuasion. But there wer myriad things wrong with Notting Hill, starting with the fact that Julia Roberts's character was a complete jerk.

I also haven't forgiven myself for going to see Ricochet -- on my birthday, no less.

But perhaps the last thing I walked out on was The Bedford Incident, which was playing at the student union when I was in college. I didn't stick around long enough to find out what the incident was.
