We've all had movies that we ejected from the DVD players and VCRs over the years because of how much they sucked. Additionally, most people I know have walked out on at least one movie.
I ejected Poultryguist: Night of the Chicken Dead.
The only other movies I tried watching on NetFlix but waved the white flag on were Caligula and Baby Geniuses.
Borat - almost threw the Nexflix disk out. :hatred:
I Come In Peace - girlfriend made me walk out. Watched later and liked it.
That is about it.
Later,
John
It's ironic that you say "Borat," because a lot of people walked out of "Bruno," when I saw it. I really enjoyed it, myself. I think a lot of uptight people couldn't handle all the gay sex jokes. I don't understand how people didn't know what they were going to see. If they had seen "Borat" they should know what kind of comedy it was. I ejected "District 9," sorry, I thought it was crap!

None. If I pay to see a movie in a theater, I'm staying until the end no matter how bad it is. I sat through DUNE, so I can sit through anything. As for watching movies at home, there are some movies I cannot finish watching in one sitting, but I always go back and resume watching them later. One example is Lucio Fulci's CONQUEST. I think I watched that movie in at least 3 or 4 segments, but I finally got to the end of it.
Death Tunnel - if there's one thing I absolutely hate it's when they edit a movie together in that rapid-fire fashion. This movie took that to it's ultimate, and utterly putrefied conclusion.
Anacondas Hunt for the Blood Orchid - made your average SyFy channel Original seem like the work of a genius in comparison.
The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak - Tawny Kitaen running around topless - and I still never made it to the end :question:
A whole pile of movies of those Mill Creek 50 packs. Of course you pretty much know going in that there are going to be more than a few that just cannot be endured.

Awww that's too bad. I think it's a great bad movie.
It took me two sessions to watch Return of the Boogeyman (1994). Awful garbage. Besides that I never walked out of any movie so far.
I Spit on Your Grave
Talk about redundant, it bored the hell out of me; that and I kind of wondered why I was watching that for entertainment, which I didn't find in what little I watched and am not particularly disappointed in that.

I feel bad about that. I've actually been thinking of buying it just to give it another chance.

Why would you even watch that movie?

I'd eject any of the three of those movie. Good thing I've never seen any of them. :teddyr:
_________________________________________________________________________________________
The Expendables - I walked out of the theater and waited for my Sister and Father to finish it.
Dagon - Started it on Netflix before I remembered that Andrew reviewed it on this site. I was desperately looking for a good Lovecraft movie, then I remembered
"Fish got nards" and turned it off.
Bait Shop - I was about to leave but before I even left the room the rest of my family turned it off and threw the disc in the garbage.
Benchwarmers - Do jokes about farting and midgets make you laugh? (Y/N)
(No) Doesn't make me laugh either
(Yes) Gimme your balls; you've lost the right to breed
Napoleon Dynamite - Starred the retarded guy from Benchwarmers, not sitting through that torture again.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - If you watched this movie because you loved Clerks prepare to be disappointed.
Call of Cthulhu - Once again my search for H.P. Lovecraft based movies has betrayed me. I don't mind silent films, hell The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is one of my favorite films, but while Caligari was limited to silence by the technology of the day CoC was released in 2005. I understand making it black and white but I find making it a silent movie with cards is more of an inconvenience than anything.
The Kings Speech - Before you tear me a new one, I should tell you I wanted to enjoy this film. I'll watch ANYTHING with Helena Bonham Carter! This film seemed so fascinating, I would LOVE to watch it, unfortunately it was VERY SLOW. It's difficult for me to watch slow movies, they can't hold my attention. Don't think this means I've seen every Die Hard a gazillion times and watch anything with Arnold Schwarzenegger, I love a good plot. I love Citizen Kain, Shawshank Redemption, and The Graduate; none of which have action scenes. I just got bored with King's Speech.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Not a bad movie I just felt a little
overwhelmed by ummm... It's "
content".

AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!! MY EYES!!! THEY ARE BEING VIOLATED!!
I don't know how i should feel that almost every movie you guys named rank as some of my all-time favorites.
I've never 'walked out a movie' nor have I ejected a disc. I feel like if i start something I need to finish... HOWEVER there was one movie that I felt like since it was awful, boring and slow I could watch in fast forward and still get 'the general idea' and that film was Jaws of Death.
Ever since I was a kid and became obsessed with shark movies (thanks Jaws) i was curious about this movie. I finally got it when I got netflix in college. It was rough. I'm sure the s**t transfer (I'm convinced it was just converted from some dudes VHS tape) didn't help though.
My girlfriend tried to get me to watch Napoleon Dynamite. Couldn't do it.

There's a really horrid scene thats painfull and offensive to the ears.
Even thinking of it hurts me so...
:bluesad:
This was what Andrew said:
Quote. All of this is bitterly related by Willard while the three of them are lying inside of a crude cage with their hands and feet bound. Knowing that they don't have a chance, the masculine captain tells his frightened babe in the woods that he will not let her die without making love. What follows is a comical attempt at intimacy; Willard holds a piece of reed with his teeth and strokes it over Gwendoline, then he starts talking about making love to her. Remember, all three of them are trussed up like calves at a rodeo and lying on the sandy ground. The atmosphere does not keep Gwendoline from getting off. Beth joins in, causing the event to become a verbal ménage à trois.
After the climax, the characters finally realize how ridiculous the whole thing was (glad you people noticed, us viewers have been asking, "WTF?" for a while now) and howl with laughter.
Its a horrible, horrible scene...
Its gonna stay with me for life and I'm gonna get flashbacks...
Edmond (2005)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443496/
I was given this role in an acting class, & thought watching the movie would help me find the character's motivation.
Unfortunately, other than being selfish & naive, this guy had no motivation. Even gratuitous T&A couldn't distract me from how much I hated this guy & the people he encounters.
In acting class, I decided to portray the character with the apathy of Bart Simpson.
I was flipping through channels the other night and watched about 10 minutes of The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. I just couldn't watch anymore. Sorry, maybe I'm a snob, but I feel like if I want to see that I can visit my local WalMart.
I have an ever growing list called the "f**k this movie" list in which a movie finally defeated me and I had to cut it off. The last movie that I added to this list was the live action "King of Fighters" film starring Maggie Q and Ray Park. I got to about the half way mark and realized that I was just wasting moments of my life that I was never going to get back.
The last one prior to that was the 2nd Transformers movie in which I got to the scene with the Devastator balls shot and just finally threw up my hands and cut it off and haven't attempted to finish it since (and won't at any point).
Usually, though, I'll try to tough it out watching movie as a badge of honor of sorts. But as I've gotten a bit older, I try to only watch a bad movie if I'm going to get some sort of entertainment value out of it.
I've never walked out of a movie theather. I figure if I made the drive and bought the ticket, I might as well stay to the end.
The one film I ejected was Super Bad at the part where they went to the liquor store. It wasn't funny at all and I couldn't find what all the hype was about. I almost did the same for Napolean Dynamite.
Maybe it's me, but I can't NOT finish a movie, no matter how bad it is. I believe I must have some sort of Film Watcher's O.C.D. Even if I'm watching a movie that completely, totally, utterly sucks, I cannot bring myself to bail on it, I feel that I have to make it to the end.
I suppose that somewhere in the back of my mind I'm afraid that if I quit on the movie before it's over, I'll always wonder how it ended and it'll bother me for the rest of my life. Ridiculous, right?
Therefore even when watching a movie that makes me pray for the sweet release of Death to free me from my torture (i.e. Andy Milligan's "Carnage," "Battlefield Earth," etc.) I grit my teeth and gut it out.

I think it's way more enjoyable with the sound turned off and Hendrix's ELECTRIC LADYLAND played over top of it.
I might not finish a movie at home, but at the theater I will stay until the end. I think even a bad movies is made better through the theater experience. However, it didn't help "The A-Team" that much.

I accidentally caught about half of this recently. I usually enjoy any documentary to some point but I couldn't for the life of me understand why someone found this loud, illiterate, and offensive family so interesting as to make a film about them.
Never bailed at the cinema, as I usually know enough about a movie to know if it is worth watching there in the first place.
I have ejected Live By The Fist (1993). I bought it along with a number of other bargain bin martial arts movies, thinking that since it starred Jerry Trimble, of whom I had good memories from Jet Li's The Master, it might be good. Boy, was I disappointed.
I think it's shot in the Phillipines, but it might as well be any place with skungey looking jungles and dirty prisons. The script is terrible, the acting awful, the whole movie was depressing, and even the fight scenes, of which there were many, were just as bad.
Clerks 2 - I tried so hard to watch it again as I could not belive what I saw the first time, but I couldn't. I ejected it and snapped it. AWFUL!!!
Hall Pass - What a croc, mind you I'm not sure what I was expecting, but not that. I ejected it and threw it out my flat window, which happens to be on the 3rd floor.

(http://cdn100.iofferphoto.com/img/item/202/806/940/drive-in-movie-classics-50-movie-dvd-pack-698b4.jpg)
Still, at .20 a movie (Wal-Mart Cost), I can't complain TOO much.
I couldn't make it through the following. Keep in mind, most of these were against my will (usually my father dragging me into watching it, until eventually I'm able to convince him to walk out). Only the first two and Red Zone Cuba (Mst3k couldn't save it) were exceptions.
Thomas and the Magic Railroad (I was a little kid, shut up).
I had to walk out of The Powerpuff Girls Movie for a few minutes, unable to take the "Bubbles cries for ten minutes straight" scene. Also, see above explanation for why I wanted to sit through this thing.
Ben Stiller's Heartbreak Kid
Epic Movie
Transformers 2 (sadly, I couldn't convince my dad to walk out of 3, as he was too fast asleep)
Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D
Disaster Movie
The Island
Red Zone Cuba
Norbit
Daddy Day Care
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Diabolique. When they revealed the "twist" near the end, I was probably more p**sed off than I'd ever been at any movie. I ejected that sucker in a hurry. I did go back and finish it (more than a year later) and I wish I hadn't.
the LOSERS (2010)-I rented this last night. I turned it off after 10 minutes.
New one to add to the list.
Con Air. Cage's horrible southern accent alone was enough to make me turn it off.
I wish I had walked out on/shut off the following but yeah I watched them all to the end. Doubt I'll ever force myself to suffer through this pain again:
National Lampoon's Senior Trip
The Waterboy
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen
Armageddon
Clerks II
Natural Born Killers
Boogie Nights
Accident
Envy

I got a list like that: Saw 3d, The Scarlett Letter, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Dinner for Schmucks, Burn After Reading, National Lampoon's Pledge This, and Daddy Day Camp
I forgot Step Brothers. God that was awful!
Borat! Nothing more to say :thumbdown: :hatred:
Manhattan
My girlfriend dragged me to watch Twilight (:hatred:).
Suffered through the entire length of the film, whilst about 50 teenage girls all strummed one out over Edward.
Long story short, got my "Reward afterwards. :cheers:
Then the Sequel. Went in, stuck around for 10 minutes, the EXACT same as the first. Flipped out and went home to watch The Room for the 50th time. Calmed me right down :)
Standing Ovation: I started watching the film in June. Went about 30 minutes and stopped the thing. I did finish it over 2 months later and now it sits in my top 10 worst films I have ever seen. Good job movie!
I don't know if this counts, but my mind wandered off about 30 minutes into School for Scoundrels.
I've never walked out of a theater, but came very close at THE WATERBOY. Lord that movie was stupid.
Never finished TRANSFORMERS, THE GOOD SHEPHERD, CIDER HOUSE RULES, THE DEMON (one of my Mill Creek collection flicks, which I may try again) or THE HEARTBREAK KID (remake). I try to make a point of getting all the way through a movie; I tend to lose my patience more with a movie that has some production/money behind it and still sucks, than if it's some z-grade drive-in thing.
The Beast of Yucca Flats.
I have it on dvd. I think I made it to the end, just once.

I loved that Call of Cthulhu adaptation. I was very impressed with it.
I have made it a point of pride that once I start a movie I will finish it through the bitter end. The worst movie I sat through in the theater was
Van Helsing. I was ready for it to end after ten minutes, but it took another two hours. I hated that movie, but I stuck it out.
The one movie that just demolished me was this
thing called
Period Piece (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808905/). It was Troma-produced so I knew it was going to be bad, but Good Lord. This is the entirety of the movie: naked senior citizens, homeless men circle jerking over soggy porn, and other men sodomizing plush toys with cans of beans. I tried, but after thirty minutes of ridiculously awful footage I had to throw in the towel. A "movie" you can only watch if you hate yourself.
Movies I have walked out on/ejected:
Going Ape
Brainstorm
Avatar
Up.....man,Pixar missed the mark there
Battle Beyond the Stars
The Second Twilight film

I joyously watch these Mill Creek flicks. Even the incredibly bad ones. But then again, I suck as a human being.
I saw a double-feature of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) and Starcrash when I was a kid, with my cool older cousin. Otherwise I would have been too young to get into the theatre for an R-rated movie. How cool a double feature is that? Anyway, we watched Body Snatchers first, which we both loved, and then Starcrash was next. I was 11 years old and into sci-fi, so I wanted to see it. My cousin wanted to walk out of Starcrash after 15 minutes. I had to beg him to stay. We ended up staying through about half the movie and then he couldn't take it anymore. I still wanted to stay. So, that's one of my claims to vintage geekdom fame, having seen half of Starcrash in the theatre during it's release.

I saw MESSAGE FROM SPACE (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/messagespace/) in a theater, and walked out. It's the only movie I've ever walked out on. Ah, the things we do when we're young and foolish and incapable of appreciating the finer things in life.
In my defense I was only 7 or 8 at the time and was expecting every movie to be just like STAR WARS.

I was 11 when I saw Starcrash, and was also expecting something like Star Wars. Funny thing is, it WAS something like Star Wars, only jaw-droppingly bad and entertaining. I knew at the time how bad it was, and appreciated it immensely. My cousing, while a very cool guy, just didn't see any merit in sitting through it, and since he was my ride...
I have never walked out of the theater from a movie, and the only one I have ever ejected (and this only about 10 minutes into it) was...
RUNNING SCARED (2006) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0404390/)
Bad is not the word for this movie. Festering vomit is too nice a description for this...this...thing.
To put this into perspective, I did NOT eject INTO THE BLUE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0378109/), also with Paul Walker and ALMOST as bad.

Clerks 2 is brilliant. A great sequel.
Boogie Nights: great movie. Likely PT Anderson's best, with a great cast.
Waterboy: decent enough comedy. Then again, I'm a big Sandler fan.
