    Walked out of one a loooong time ago, Arthur.
    Why Dudley Moore got elevated to leading man\protagonist in any film is beyond me.
    I guess I just wasn't in the mood to watch someone laugh at themselves for 90 minutes

    I really wanted to walk out of JFK but was on a date and couldn't so I just stewed quietly and closed my eyes when Oliver decided to show Kennedy's brains getting blown out.
    Gullable idiots eat up his cockamamie conspiracy theories and think they are fact.

    I wanted to walk out of Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine but it was a full cinema and I was in the middle of a row.

    Every ten years or so it seems like I have to go and see a Woody Allen film just to remind myself of how much I don't like Woody Allen films.

    Cate Blanchet's character was OK, strong, reasonably convincing, well-developed, and Blanchet's performance was fine, but as is usually the case, all of the secondary or supporting characters were lazy stereotypes and, to a great degree, largely there to add credibility to the title character. It's how Allen writes: he's a narcissist, and continually remakes the same film, with enough superficial changes to make each seem like something new.

    The comments you hear when people walk out of a Warhol film where nothing happens are better than most proper films.

    I saw that movie, and I agree with your assessment. Late in his career, Woody seems to specialize in exacting revenge on his women characters. I used to admire his work, but that was long ago.

    I didn't leave this film (my wife was watching on NetFlix), mainly because Cate Blanchet is amazing, even when she's playing a part that has to endure so much humiliation because the director has issues.

    Pasolini's "Salò". Some scenes just turned my stomach and it got to a point where I just split.

    Casino. Towards the end, the scene where joe pesci's character and his brother are being beaten with baseball bats, wow that sickened me and freaked me out at the same time. Pretty much had an anxiety attack. Had to get up and go to restroom and splash cold water, thought i was gona pass out. Did go back to my seat for the rest of the movie, but that thing kept bothering me the rest of the night. I can still hear those aluminum bats crackin skulls...:shake:

    “There’s Something About Mary.” Purile. And the director of that just won the Oscar for best picture.

    Some horror movie a roommate dragooned me into . . .

    Now, I have hit the EJECT button on plenty of movies on video.

    So hard to remember all I’ve walked out on. The very first I remember: ken Russell’s “Tommy”

    :laugh: Yeah, I know, I was thinking the same thing when I remembered it. I think I went with a friend and she chose the movie. That's my explanation... and I'm sticking to it. :D

    I saw Hardly Working because it was a Jerry Lewis movie. It was okay, but far from Lewis' best. I think the problem with it was that Lewis was basically doing the same types of gags that he'd done decades before. One gag that still comes to mind is outside of a Glass Factory, Lewis' character enters and without seeing anything we know exactly what happened (we hear a massive amount of shattering glass) as Lewis' character leaves.

    I enjoyed the movie but part of that may have been due to the director, Savage Steve Holland. He did Better Off Dead (BOD), one of my favorite 1980s movies, and One Crazy Summer has the same feel but BOD is the better movie.

    Alien: Covenant. They threw out the most interesting elements from Prometheus, dumbed it down, and explained way too much about the origin of the alien. As soon as the climax on the platform ended I fled the theater.

    Flatliners, the one from 1990. STUPID! Then I noticed, not be be content with one stupid movie, the made a remake (thank you Hollywood!). The 2017 scored a 4% on the Tomato Meter.

    I certainly hope that it was not the 1970 version!

    There are bad movies and then the is The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, which takes movie making to a repulsive new low.

    Wow, maybe a little boring, but so many more really terrible movies than this. Glass comes to mind...

    No, Village was worse than just boring, e.g., casting an Academy award winner (Brody) as the village idiot and lets not get into the monster manipulation. You're right that there are worse movies but I can't remember seeing any in the theater.
