How many times have you walked out of a movie theater before the movie was over?

I have never done this, no matter how much I hated the movie.

But I came very close once. What was the movie? DUNE.

I've never done this either but, I almost did for The Messenger: The story of Joan of Arc  and Goldmember. Unfortunatly  I was with people both times, so I had to sit through the crap

I don't see many movies these days, with my life and schedule it's hard to arrange.  So I'm very selective in what I'll go put down money to see, and thus I don't see much that I don't go in knowing I will enjoy watching.

When I was younger, my parents were big sci-fi/action movie buffs so they took me to a lot of stuff that I kinda wished I could see again if I can find it

Only one.

Chasing Amy.

And finally others who hate Dune as well!

All my friends for some unknown reason seem to love that film.

I think it's one of the biggest pieces of s**t I've ever seen!

I didn't mind "Dune" butIas long as it was, it still felt like I was watching the trailer for a much longer story

I personally have walked out on WATERWORLD and HUDSON HAWK but the mention of people walking out on movies always reminds me of 1983(I believe) when my friends and I first saw THE EVIL DEAD when it was playing at theatres (and my nephews always make me feel old by their astonished reaction to the fact that I was around when that movie first came out). We LOVED it and went back a few nights running to watch both the movie and the reactions of various audience members who had apparently never seen any horror films outside the mainstream.  MANY people were getting up and walking out ,usually during the extended bit where the 2nd person is possessed, and they'd all be muttering their disgust at the violence on screen.  One memorable guy, though, made it through the goriest segments just fine but during the Dark Humor of the "Eyes opened/eyes closed " bit when Ash is digging a grave for his girlfriend this guy suddenly stood up and shouted "This is the SICKEST movie I've ever SEEN!" and stalked out.

Predator this is also my answer to another survey question on the board about movies others love but you hate. I sneeked into the theater to watch this as a teenager and I walked out wanting the hour I had spent in that theater back! Stupidest piece of dredlock waring bulls**t.

Movies I walked out of the theatre(and don´t plan on seeing it on video):

Gremlins 2:The New Batch(you gotta understand,I was 6 years old at the time)
Legally Blonde
About A Boy
The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion
Simone
The Tuxedo(almost)
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Titus(OK,they kicked me out of the theatre,but close enough)

That´s all I can think of.

I've pretty selective about the movies I see, so I've never walked out of any.

Never walked out on a movie, came close though. Now if we want to talk video's I sent many flying across the room.
If God is watching us, the least we can do is be
entertaining.
