I cannot get through "Star Odessey" or "War of the Robots", just the way they both try to add an edge to the films in the beginning by talking immaterial jargon.
I've tried Star Odessey like 4 times, I always wake up around the boxing scene between a robot and a man, then fall back asleep.
How about your snoozers?
Gothic. It was so effete and mannered that as my eyes started to slam shut, I hit the "eject" button and saved myself.
Face Of The Screaming Werewolf, They Nest, Party Crasher and Friday 13th Part One. More recently I fell asleep at the cinema during "Sweeney Todd", which takes the cake for being the most boring film I have ever seen and for having the worst music in a film ever! :bluesad:
I actually fell asleep, in the theatre, while watching Karate Kid. I'm sure it was probably because we went to the late showing (around 11 PM or so) and has no reflection on the movie itself.
As for movies watched at home. . The first time I tried to sit thorugh GUINEA PIG, MERMAID IN A MANHOLE, I found it so friggin dull and boring I ejected the disc without bothering to even look at the other movie on the DVD. If there's a more tedious gore flick out there I don't want to know about it.
Boredom usually doesn't sink in while I'm weatching movies, though when it does my usual solution is to simply find something better to do. There have been some bad cases though in which I'll watch a movie I actually want to see late at night, when the dreadful fatigue starts to set in :bluesad:. Most recent memorable case for me was "Night of the demon", which I rented yesterday and watched in it's entirety. :smile:
Dude Where's My Car? My girlfriend (now wife) and I started watching it and I woke up around the end credits. Never felt a need to go back and see what I missed either. From what I hear it wasn't much.
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch- Still haven't gone back to watch it, and don't know if I should either.
Pirates of the Caribbean- My first time watching, at least. I did eventually see the whole thing. It was good, but I don't know if they should've warranted a trilogy.
Star Wars- I 'watched' this on tv, and by 'watched', I mean I saw Luke in a desert for 25 minutes talking to a tin can and an overgrown Academy Award talking to each other about one thing or another, fell asleep, woke up about 3 hours later and the credits were beginning. I figured if those 25 minutes or so sucked so bad as to knock me out for 3 hours, then I'm afraid to watch it again. I really have zero interest in Star Wars so any argument about how 'brilliantly shot' it is or 'how wonderfully written" it is, will just fall on deaf ears. I've heard those arguments and I still have little interest. Ignorance, yes, but hey, I'm hard-headed. :wink:
No offense.

You really should go back and re-watch it. It's like a badge of honor to say you made it through it.
But what the hell do I know, seeing as I went out and bought the dvd. :teddyr:
"Blade". The big battle at the beginning was good. Then nothing else was happening. I woke up in time to see Blade and some chick torturing an extremely obese vampire with a UV light, then promptly passed out again. I woke up again when Mom and Dad jostled me awake when the credits started.
The only movies I fell asleep during(that I can remember )are the following flix I saw at the theater:
ALIEN,OH GOD and DAMNATION ALLEY.
Keep in mind that this was when I was 6-8 years of age and so it had nothing to do with not liking the movies.
I never fell asleep in a theater. Sometimes I fall asleep if I'm watching a DVD late at night, but I always finish watching it within the next few days no matter how boring it is. Once I start watching a movie (ANY movie) I must see it all the way to the end.
I bought a 10 movie pack called Fright Night, that was a wonderful cure for insomnia. Movies like Kill Baby Kill, Devil's Nightmare, Good Against Evil, Baba Yaga, etc. Devil's Nightmare even had a lesbian love scene that bored the hell out of me. Now that takes some doing :teddyr:

None taken: that was very funny. :teddyr: :teddyr:
Chariots of Fire: I'm talking REM sleep, puddle of drool on the floor beside me, didn't remember where I was when I woke up kind of sleep. I don't know if it was actual sleep, a coma, or if CoF just sucked the conciousness out of me.
The Grudge at a 1.50 movie theater with one of my best friend I went to sleep then woke up and laugh at the so called scary parts of the movie.
The only movie that ever put me to sleep was "Cool World."
Feel asleep watching ORGY OF THE DEAD...twice. Guess the nude chicks weren't quite enough to keep me awake in what is otherwise a complete snoozefest.
Snoozed off during INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE which might be the most boring vampire flick ever.
Also feel asleep once during MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL which features mostly walking, walking and more walking.
I think I fell asleep while watching Riding In Cars With Boys with my wife. I can't verify that because it was awhile ago and the movie was utterly forgetable...sleep or not.
Circa Christmas 2006 I nodded off soundly during "Deep Red/Profundo Rosso". There was absolutely nothing wrong with the film but I was dog tired after work.
All Pirates Of The Caribbean. I swear every single one I fell asleep in the middle. They are just way too long. I like pirates as much as the next guy but I think it is possible to overdose on them.
I actually fall asleep at the movie theater quite a bit though. Last one I saw was Body Of Lies. It was a real good movie but just really long too.
Funny one really long movie that I stayed awake during that I went to see at like 11:00 was The Da Vinci Code. I thought it was pretty good and really want to see the sequel.
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. I tried watching it 2-3 times, but fell asleep each time. It probably didn't help that it was the last movie out of three, and my friends and I had been consuming many adult beverages and other things.
Prospero's Book Probably only nodded off on this one. But oh, my god, it was boring.
Couldn't stay up through Jack Frost 2 last night but I was very sleep deprived. Gonna try again soon maybe.
I was in the movie theater and fell asleep watching Boogeyman (the 2005 one). I woke myself up snoring.
GANGS OF NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most overrated movie EVER!!!
Immortel: ad vitam. When the Egyptian Gods started playing monopoly, I gave up.
I was also very relieved when my DVD player acted up halfway through Dungeons & Dragons. If it had kept going, I probably would have nodded off. And to think that Jeremy Irons did Eragon after that! As if one wasn't enough.
I don't think I've ever really slept in the theater, although I dozed off for a few minutes during Good Night and Good Luck. It was a good film, but I had just gotten off from work, I was tired, and it's such a calm and relaxed movie.
Most recently I tried watching Monster High and I not only found it annoying but I was starting to fall asleep from boredom so I stopped it and took a nap.
