My then-girlfriend and I bailed out at about 30 minutes into Eight-Legged Freaks. Does anyone beat me in terms of the amount of time into the movie before walking out?
I saw a movie with my college roommate and her fiance that the only thing we knew about it was that it featured Kevin Bacon. Poor choice that time. The movie was (I think) called Sleepers and it was obnoxious and totally not to my taste. The fiance walked out loudly calling it disgusting, I walked out quietly so as not to embarass the roommate further. She stayed for the whole thing- and was a bit unhappy with the fiance for making such a public scene.
Only three.

Me, I’m the guy that never walks out on a movie. At least, I haven’t yet. But that’s a combination of never going to see movies unless I really know I’m going to like them (like the upcoming Sin City… how am I NOT going to be cumming like a firehose all throughout?), and the fact that I have the amazing knack of easily forgiving bad moviemaking decisions. I mean, every movie I watch I always manage to find something I liked in it. Even if it’s just to laugh about how bad the movie is.
That said, I know one of these days my friends are going to drag me into a movie that they swear up and down is the most brilliant thing on Earth, and I just know it’s going to bug the piss outta me.
The Dream Team, with Michael Keaton and Peter Boyle. I tried to sit it out, but by the time the van broke down in the alleyway, I turned to the WryGuy and whispered, “I can think of ten million better ways to spend an evening.” He agreed wholeheartedly.
I’ve shut a couple DVDs off only a few minutes in - the one that stands out most was Problem Child with John Ritter. I was completely mystified as to what was funny about that one.
I walked out of Saving Private Ryan, but only because the sound sucked. All of it that I saw sounded like the segments where Hanks can’t hear right. It was at a Cinemark theater and I couldn’t get any attention, help, or sympathy from any of the employees. They had to call the manager on the phone to get authorization to issue me a refund. I’ll never patronize any of their locations again.
I later saw it at a UA theater with stadium seats, a huge screen, and a sound system where you could feel the tank engines rumble in your bones. A great time was had by all.
I believe the only movie I ever walked out on was “Cookie’s Fortune” (Glenn Close, Julianne Moore, Liv Tyler - 1999) I found it painfully insipid. Maybe I should have stayed. Maybe it got better? My husband and I looked at eachother knowingly and hightailed it outta there.
I should have left “Chicago”. DESPISED that movie. I can still see Rene Zellweger’s squinty little eyes and hear that nails on a chalk board voice…I shudder . Bah.
The only movie I’ve ever walked out on was The Majestic.
I wish I could have walked out on Varsity Blues and Scream 2, but I was with other people and couldn’t drive home myself.
The only movie I ever walked out on was a good one – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon – and only because my wife was too sick to continue (we went back the next week).
The movie I wish I had walked out on was Star Trek V.
Recently, I walked out of Spanglish, and that took a lot of doing given how I consider Paz Vega the Eight Wonder of the World. Og, that was a terrible, cliched, hackneyed movie.
For the most part, I know what I won’t stand and don’t go to see it, but occasionally I try something that I don’t think I’ll like, and sure enough…I walked out of The Goonies the other day. I just don’t get what people see in it.
I almost walked out of Contempt and in retrospect I wish I had.

I made a valiant effort to sit through Spice World to try and entertain my friends by making fun of it, but I walked out a few minutes early just to make a point. I left Bruce Almighty maybe 15 or 20 minutes before the end. I really wanted to hit something. I was with friends there, which kept me in the theatre a little longer. Although if I’d been alone I probably wouldn’t have seen it in the first place.
Oh man, I used to walk out of movies like it was going out of style. There was a time there around the late 90s where I just had zero tolerance for bad films. One that sticks out that everyone seems to chastise me for walking out on was Face/Off. Pretty much everyone I knew loved that piece of crap.
One I wish I would’ve walked out on, but couldn’t due to friends: Orange County.
SLEEPY HOLLOW, but not because I hated the flick. On the contrary when I finally saw it I liked it. Especially since the villiage was an obvious riff on somber town from Santa Claus is coming to town.
No the reason I left and got my money back was because the people I was with decided taht it was cool to arive late. I was stuck in the right hand forward seats and was unable to enjoy the movie. I was so close I was getting motion sickness from the previews. (SNOW DAY, no wonder I felt ill) I demeanded my money back and got it.
If you walk out get your cash back.
I stayed through Battlefield Earth only because when I went in I knew it was so godawful I saw it with my buddy and the five other audience members… most which I assume were scientologists (The didn’t approve of me and my friend laughing aloud at the film… “Three Psychlos moving in fast”)
Yeah face off was total crap… I wish I could get refunds for rentals when they blow that bad. I mean come on, the friggen boat chace at the end was the final nail in the tacked on coffin that was that heap of garbage.
Never walked out - but then I don’t go to the theatre that often. But I did get a VERY sore ass watching Hannibal (where ass soreness is proportionate to crappiness of the flick).
I walked out of Blue Velvet, and that J.LO movie about her getting in the head of a psychopath, because both turned out to be waaaayyy to vividly nightmarish for me. I’ve sat out one or two truly scary films before (like the Silence of the Lambs, Ring, and the Dutch movie “Broken Mirrors”,) and have dearly paid - for not wanting to be a wuss - with months of feeling ill at ease in my own home at night.
Yeah. So, I AM a wuss. Bite me. 
I should have walked out of a **James Bond ** movie, I forgot which one. It was so boring ("And another carchase with lots of explosions! Jay. " I fell asleep in the threatre.
Haven’t walked out of a movie yet, but I wish I had with Eye of the Beholder. Argh, what shiite! At the end, I was just thinking, Ewan McGregor, what in the world were you thinking when you agreed to do that?
Never have as, like others, I choose carefully. However when spending a night in a small town alone, went to see Dumb and Dumber and had picked up my coat to leave when they sat down in a diner and on the jukebox was someone covering an XTC song. As an XTC nutter, I had to stay to the credits then to discover who was singing.

My friend and I walked out of Adam Sandler’s, “8 Crazy Nights” after about 15 or 20 minutes.
We should have walked out 15 or 20 minutes earlier.
Unfortunately I never walked out of a movie, because I used to think “Hey, I paid good money for it, now I want to see it…” not realizing that throwing away time on top of money is actually worse.
That said, I should have walked out of “Blood and Wine” which was running in a sneak preview, so I had no clue what was up. The cast seemed promising, so who knew it would turn out to be one of the worst movies ever made
