Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975). It's a beautiful and haunting movie, but this slow burning dreamy drama with Gheorghe Zamfir's soothing pan flute muzak made me pass out halfway through. A sweet, enchanting sleeping pill if you will.
I've only ever been put to sleep by a movie once - THE CIDER HOUSE RULES. Yeah.
I watched DOOMSDAY with a friend and he konked out about 15 minutes into it. It was a pretty bad movie, but not what I'd expect someone to fall asleep to :bouncegiggle:
Argento's Dracula, just last night. I knew one minute into it that it would be that sort of movie. It wasn't terrible, I was actually kind of enjoying it, just slow paced and with bland characters. I'm planning on finishing it up tonight.
I fell asleep while reviewing this film for us here: I even mention that I fell asleep writing the review and even my fingersss wemntjhrt toe achleep......

It's not a bad movie: it just made me sleepy. :wink:
Iron Man 2. I simply could not stay awake during that movie. Was not the slightest bit tired when I went in, either.
Daredevil.
Honestly... LAst movie that made me fall asleep (and not care what happens) is Inception
I just kinda saw it as a mainstream try-hard effort of the kinda things artistic films don't need to even try hard with if that makes sense. I kinda lost interest half way through and was happy to nod off. LOL
It took me three tries to get thru Metallica's documentary Some Kind of Monster because I kept nodding off at around the halfway mark.
Obama 2: Re-election lol j\k. :bouncegiggle:
Seriously, I fell asleep during Svengoolie's Saturday night showing of "King Kong vs. Godzilla" about 3 weeks back. Not sure why, but it might have had to do with the fact that I spent the entire day shoveling my ass off somewhere due to one of Old Man Winter's hissy fits....
I don't think I have ever fallen asleep because a movie was boring. When I fall asleep, it's usually because it's about 2:00 a.m. and I have just watched 4 or 5 movies in a row.
Just now: Insidious: Chapter 2. My only excuse, I had night shift this week and I am still adjusting to day time. Chapter 2 seems to be alright (from what I've seen) so I will have to watch again soon.
The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case (1930) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY7aD_j7l5g#)
Not that's it's bad - I think it's great.
I just like to watch this as I get into the comfort zone... ZzzZZz...
Friday 13th Part 4, Part 6 and 'Jason Goes To Hell - The Final Friday' all have made me fall asleep, in the past few months.
It was my first time watching each (which makes me very late to the F13 sequel party I know) but I couldn't stay awake....
Part 3, and 'Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan' on the other hand were pure entertainment.
Gojira (Godzilla) 1954... The first one. I had not seen it yet. I've only seen a few of the random later films like Godzilla VS the Bra monster. Etc. I really wanted to like Gojira. I really did. I was so psyched to watch it. But when it came time, today, as soon as my head hit the headrest- I was doomed. :lookingup: :twirl: :buggedout: :bouncegiggle:
The Conjuring.
I made it about 30 minutes into the movie before I fell asleep.
Natural Born Killers...yes, despite all the noise, I drifted off watching that one. Didn't care for it too much either.
Land of the Minotaur (1976) - fell asleep during the exciting climax last night. Had to rewind it and see what I missed. I could probably contribute to this thread every other day lol.
Forgot that I also fell asleep watching The Dark Knight.
Strangely enough, even though I've watched it several times over now, I've never fell asleep watching The Incredible Petrified World which is pretty dull...
1992. The first and last time I think I ever fell asleep while watching a film. Normally, I tend to enjoy Ralph Bakshi's films, but this one, "Cool World," was just a sleep inducer. Maybe because the only noteworthy thing about the film was that I fell asleep.
Doris Wishman's A Night To Dismember. I actually fell asleep during 3 different attempts to watch it. I have no idea what happened. One minute, I was laughing my head off, and, suddenly, the film was over.
On the upside, after finally getting all the way through it, I have now watched it 3 times, and one of those was with the Doris Wishman commentary. She is one funny lady. Well, was.
My Dad has never made it past 25 minutes of Christopher Nolan's Inception. He works crazy hours and only has time to watch movies in the evenings. He's tried to watch Inception at least four times, and has nodded off without fail by 25 minutes. At least two of those times were in my presence, too.
Hellraiser 3
Angels and Demons. It was more than a bad movie, it bored me to sleep.
Also I'm not sure if it counts but Man of Steel made my ass fall asleep.
Django Unchained, late night viewing. I did enjoy the movie but I slept through the final 20 minutes. It just seemed to go on forever. Rewatched the missing parts the next morning.

The Conjuring.

That movie was sooooooo....um, how you say bland and overhyped, to say the least. The only part I liked when the kids were playing the clapping game and you see those disembodied hands in the closet. That was a little creepy. Unfortunately that was probably the best thing I could say about it really. :thumbdown:
My second attempt in three years trying not to fall asleep watching Moon (2009). Yet I failed again :bluesad:
MONSTER (2008): Terrible monster movie that was extremely slow. The worst part is that you never get to see the monster. You get a glimpse of a tentacle, but that's about all. The entire movie is just some dumb woman with a camera, trying to survive an "earthquake", which later turns out to be a monster attack. I fell asleep my first time watching it. Second try, I finally made it. Ugh. There's a difference between B-Movies and Bad B-Movies....
Any movie I start watching after 10:30 PM. :wink:
The only film that has ever made me fall asleep was The Sound Of Music. :smile:
Into The Woods. The duet between the two princess amused me, Johnny Depp's character came off as pedophille and the plot just bored me.

That is possibly the only Oliver Stone film I don't like and I've seen
The Hand. :buggedout:
The Blood Waters of Dr. Z (1975) MST3K.
