Following on from Georges 'favourite films'; maybe / maybe not those you think are "the worst film ever made", but the ones you just couldn't handle at the time. 2 for me -

Sleepers; poorly made, poorly acted, like a pop video. Should've been a gripping subject, but decided to centre on lingering slo-mo shots of chiselled actors doing EMOTION.

Van Helsing; the relentless insane-cackling of every woman other than Kate Beckinsale fried my brain. That & other exaggerated stereotypes had me out in 15 mins. Only good thing was Ms. Beckinsale & her weapon-craft....

I would have walked out of Snake Eyes, but it was on in my house on my TV and my house mates wanted to watch it.

Walking out of my own house would have set a dangerous precedent.

Just to make the cinema trip even worse, we walked out only to discover we'd lost the car & house keys and had to get a lift home to break in to our house to get the spare set. 🙁

Jam bo; that's interesting - got Casino DVD few weeks ago; the 1st half is boring as...., then it picks up a lot in the 2nd half. Have you watched the whole thing since?

Lost in Translation - plot was spoon fed with a ladle, comes to something when you pay good money to waste 90 mins of your life - I can do that for free on here anytime...

the exorcist part III, partly because it was so bad and the girl i took to see it had just lost her father so the scenes of the undead walking the streets were a little too close to home for her

[i]Thin Red Line[/i] - is that the Vietnam film? I love that film, have watched it twice!

As said in the fave films one - Highlander. Such rubbish and I couldn't cope with the accents!

Didn't walk out, but fell asleep during, Patriot Games. Made me realise how much I hate "action" movies, so I don't watch any of them now!

Crash

Utter, utter shite. Full of the most obvious cliches and cheesy cinematography. I have never forgiven Mark Kermode after he recommended that pile of crap.

The body guard with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

The worst film for me was 'Gigli' with Jennifer Lopez and her squeeze at the time Ben Affleck. Dreadful, dreadful film.

Aliens.
Yes I know lots of people think it is 'a superior combat sci-fi movie blah blah blah' but I thought it was really poor and couldn't stand to see the hash that Cameron made of things. I had to walk out.
Alien was a fantastic, beautiful, clever piece of cinema with solid performances and credible psychology, but the sequel is just an 'executive producer's cash in' The only plus point is it gave industrial designer Syd Mead some work.
I'm aware of how much lower 'the franchise'(sorry there's no puking-up smiley) sank with the following sequels, but the first is where the rot started.

a film called Level 5, story of a woman talking about of his partner who designed a video game and die. Only film I walk away, in fact I went to another room to watch something else in the same theater.

Not me but a few in the audience walked out of a film called "Man bites Dog". Must admit I was glad the the film was in B/W.

I've only left the cinema twice.

Pret a porter - We lasted about 45 minutes of this utterly pointless film which was made even more unbearable by a group of gheyers in front of us who laughed hysteracally throughout.

Waynes World - Surrounded by greasers and metalers who you knew hadn't seen pussy since the day they were born. Me and the missus walked after about 30 minutes, didn't laugh once.
Watched it since though and chuckled.

bewitched, with will ferrell and nicole kidman.

What was that one about the yank billionaire who built the Spruce goose(flew it 10 yards and went home).Now theres a proper pile of dog dooda - 3 hrs we sat through it.The worst of it was,the place was packed and I did'nt have the balls to walk out.Did have an overriding impression tho,that if I did,it might have started a trend.The thought of this film still gives me the horrors! - Oh aye,now I remember,Howard Huwwey was'nt it?

WTF half these films are quite good!?

i'm pretty good at watching rubbish films, but "Battlefield Earth" was on the tv the other day. That redefines what a cr@p film is!
worse than The Avengers (remake) and that was pretty bad.

The original Baron Munchausen is the only film I have ever walked out of.

I feel bad cos I've sat through much worse.

Many of the above are OK, though some are dreadful

The Aviator?

I didnt see it at the cinema but I did get it on DVD (cheap thankfully). Its now being used as a coaster before I turn it into a frisbee for the neighbours dog.

I havnt walked out of the cinema (if Ive paid for it then Ill watch it to get my moneys worth) but I have been close. Stepbrothers springs to mind.

Had to struggle to watch a few dvds all the way through and turned quite a few off...What Happens In Vegas was one, Blue Velvet was another..both utter shite IMO

Hate walking out of movies (it takes me ages to eat popcorn), but left half a tub with ease half way through The Producers. Not even Uma could keep me in my seat.

I enjoyed 'There Will Be Blood', but 2 guys walked after 10 mins after laughing uproariously at him falling down the mine-shaft....??

Might have been the complaints from the rest of the audience, mind.

I've walked out of

Battlefield Earth
The Yards - all I remember was Mark Wahlberg and pish
Cloverfield - I lasted as long as I could to see if the nauseous feeling was worth it. It wasn't

I very nearly walked out of 2012, but I really wanted to see if it could out-turd its earlier abominations. It did

Heat. just didn't seem to go anywhere.
Guest House Paradiso, half hour of bottom might be funny but it foesn't work as a film.
Didn't walk out of but fell asleep to the first couple of Batman films.
Didn't walk out because the wife's work hired the cineam and we were sat near her boss but Lord of the Rings bored me. By the end of that, i couldn'y give two sh**s about any chuffing ring.

Traffic, boooring, shoudl have realised it was poo when the cinema was virtually empty!
Adaption, oh god, i think i fell asleep watching this. Tedious.
Didn't leave either of them, even though it really should. Too tight to waste money....

The Doors. Self-indulgent ****. 10 of us went to see it, two lasted the full length, and mostly because they were tight northerners. We spent the extra couple of hours in the pub next door.

Lost In Translation - that was a waste of a Sky Box Office £3.50
more recently The Boat That Rocked - mildly amusing I suppose, but again a waste of SBO money.

I tend not to go to the cinema so don't get the option of walking out, but as mentioned above, anything with Nic Cage in is going to be poor.

Mrs_drummer's sister bought us a DVD copy of Mamma Mia. That has to be the worst thing I have ever ever ever seen. I hated Abba beforehand but now, jeez...

Yeah, that made me laugh too. As was suggested earlier, people's tastes are clearly so far divided. I though starship troopers was hilarious. Laughed pretty much from start to finish.

The Wicker Man (newer version). Hmm Nick Cage again. The original is a classic. The American Version is complete shite.

Only film I've ever walked out of was Boogie Nights. Not even the abundant naked flesh saved it.

+1 boogie nights (or shall we call it boogie shites?). Although technically, we didn't walk out.

Me and MrsG went with another couple. In the pub afterwards, we were talking about the film.... It transpired that the other couple (Mr & Mrs A) wanted to walk out, but didn't want to spoil the film in-case we were enjoying it. Mr & Mrs G were thinking the same.

Please can I have that 90minutes of my life back? Please?

If I hadn't been stuck in the middle of the row, I'd have left 2012 last night.

What a shockingly bad film!!! It's the only one I've ever thought about actually walking out of.

Obviously it's all totally subjective and I would vehemently disagree with 50% of posters- Baron Munchausen for example; both versions were genious- and side with the other 50%, but one actor has me switching off, leaving or instantly looking for something else to do..... Adam Sandler; how on earth, WTF, what?, how?, why?, how did he even get to be an actor let alone a superstar????!!!

Of course IT IS subjective, This is different from a 'worst films' thread. Its films that for often individual, slight reasons we've been annoyed with enough to walk out.
For instance lots of half decent films have been made from books but invariably those people who read the book despise the results- Trainspotting is good example in my case.

Agree - films are subjective. But Crash, Lost in Translation, and Blue Velvet are objectively ace.

Fabulous Baker Boys however, is a load of toss and I left after about 20 minutes.

jees, 2012 wasn't all that bad, OK the stupid "just made it over a huge gap in a caravan" was annoying to say the least. But the effects were quite something.

Drag me to Hell, thankfully the tickets were freebies, as i would of been wholeheartly pished if i had to pay for it. Horror movie by numbers and not the good sort at that!!!!! Boring and predictable. Also on another slant i have never seen The Shawshank Redemption despite owning a copy, much to the general annoyance of several serious movie geek mates.

I haven't walked out of anything (I don't go to the cinema that often), but like a few others the DVD player's been switched off once or twice:

Mama Mia, saw this at the Student's union with a few friends (it was free entry and there was supposed to be something good afterwards, though it was dull enough that I can't remember what). The only thing that saved my mind was a few pints of Brains from the bar. I had a similar experience with "what happens in Vegas," but the Union redeemed itself with the newer Hulk film straight afterwards.

Life Aquatic, advertised as a comedy, didn't laugh even once. Complete drivel.

Too many romcoms with rubbish/similar plots to name

Broken Flowers is probably the worst. The Fisher King sent me to sleep in 5 minutes and there is something else that i have forgotten.

Oh and Jackie Brown is something I have not got past 20 minutes of on DVD.

I liked 2012 - a bit far fetched but the effects were good and the story line was OK ish.

Nothing I've walked out of - I'll always do some research before shelling out that much. As for renting - I've switched off Botched, I can blame my brother for choosing that. He also rented Role Models. Even worse but we finished that!

Absolutely and totally awful in every single way.

I should have walked out of Quantum of Solace, but, as an act of extreme masochism, stayed.

I've never seen "2001 A Space Odyssey" all the way through, always fall asleep. I've tried a few times too.

Went with the other half to watch The Nutcracker (the ballet shiat). She was most upset that I fell asleep within 5 minutes of it - woke me several times before giving up. When I awoke some time later she was also asleep.
Not money well spent, and no culture gain either.
