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
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

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.

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.

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. 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.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

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
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

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.

     I must concur, particularly with



     Still, at .20 a movie (Wal-Mart Cost), I can't complain TOO much.

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 don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

That is cool.  I never saw that one in the theater.  I did, however, see YOR: HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE.  A devastating experience.

I saw MESSAGE FROM SPACE 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...
