What Movies Have You Walked out on?
I don't think I've ever walked out on a movie before.
shareI've never walked out on a movie at the theater, but I have stopped watching movies on tv or streaming.
shareThis, exactly.

sharewelcome to the dollhouse is one of the greatest films of the 90s in my books. fantastic.
shareThe zeitgeist of 1990's cinema, IMO, was "how ugly can we get." It wasn't entertaining to me.
I was into "Dollhouse" but when that boy kept repeating "I'm going to rape you," I knew that if something really ugly happened I was going to be pissed off if I stayed to watch it.
i can understand where you're coming from, certainly.
to me, the genius of todd solondz, & i do think he's a genius, especially evident in his first two films, is in his ability to take horrible things that almost all of us can understand and make them darkly, evilly hilarious.
he can take a small indignity or humiliation or the most awful act of abuse and create something that will shock you and also make you laugh your gdao.
not for everyone, i suppose, but i think dollhouse and happiness are absolutely incredible movies and both are among my own favourites. an i think they're incredibly entertaining.
i have some personal reasons for latching onto dollhouse in particular that i won't bore you with, but that film truly spoke to me in the most personal way and i absolutely love it.

One movie I did walk out of was Natural Born Killers, made in 1994. A friend and I went to see it. After the first ten minutes we looked at each other and shook our heads. Nothing more needed to be said, we both just got up and left. If those ten minutes were representative of the movie, the thing was a piece of shit.
No worries. Juliet Lewis is a deal breaker. No money lost on that one.

I wouldn't put Strange Days among my all-time favorites, but I did like it and would watch it again.

wot he said
it rocks!
Most depraved scene ever written, even worse than the "lust" scene in Se7en. I don't remember why I didn't walk out of Se7en, but I did sleep through the rest of it and woke up for the ending, which was a good ending.
I'm not a total prude. The one Hellraiser movie where the victim was hallucinating that he was covered with lice or bugs or something and the dude gives him a razor, that was totally crossing the line, but it was a horror movie, I knew that going in.
The Pink Panther with Roberto Benigni. Which really disappointed me because he was funny AF in that taxi movie.
Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Mel's made me laugh so hard, he gets a pass.
Wreck it Ralph is the only one I can remember walking out on in the cinema. Was about two thirds of the way through it and me and my mate were drinking. We started to get a bit to drunk and realised we were probably not setting the best example for the kids that made up about 90% of the audience. We noticed that we would laugh when no-one else was laughing, and when everyone else was chuckling we were quiet as. We definitely weren't the target audience.
shareI've had to but because of emergencies, not because I wasn't enjoying the movie... those movies I wasn't enjoying I would finish and then keep talking about for the rest of the evening or the next couple of days about how bad it was... I've also fallen asleep in some movies even when I was a teenager so it had nothing to do with age or something like that it had to do with the movie SUCKING.
So the answer to the actual question is: I've never walked out of a movie.
Never.
shareNEVER EVER EVER.
sharethe only time i've left a film is because of tech problems.
a screening of dunkirk had a weird distortion/pixilation problem that the theatre couldn't fix, and i didn't want to watch it like that.
& a screening of parasite was showing french subtitles, and they apparently couldn't fix that either (i'd gone out to ask twice), so i left that.
i was given full refunds both times. for dunkirk, they actually gave me two passes.
Cloverfield.
Cosmopolis.
Lightning Jack.
Born Yesterday.
