Highlander 3.
Also an obscure Canadian hockey movie called Hello Destroyer at the Calgary Film Fest. Wife thought it would be nice to take the kids to a hockey movie. It was definitely not for kids 6 and 10. Very dark content.

This was South Park for me. Literally half the couples that were in the theater got up and left after Mr. Garrison explained why he was single. . .

I wanted to walk out of the Lord of the Rings, but fell asleep instead. Man did that movie just go on and on.

That’s funny, for some reason I won tickets to a prescreening for that Mod Squad movie. I think it was at Southcentre. I have no memory of the movie though. Was Claire Danes in it?

People walking out of i) The Book of Mormon and ii) The South Park Movie are clearly morons of the highest order if they didn't have even an inkling of what they were going to see.

Yes, she was. Although I seem to remember it being Giovanni Ribisi's cheeseball acting that caused me to bail.

Jojo Rabbit and Pulp Fiction are two (allegedly) great films that people either love or hate. I loved Jojo but hated Pulp (we tried twice at home to watch but fell asleep).

I wanted to walk out of Lincoln due to boredom. Like, yeah great DDL performance and obviously well-made film but it's a real snoozer.

I fell asleep in the theatre watching Tomb Raider in 2001. But I was also drunk.

Went to View From the Top (2003) with my parents. 30 min in I got up and told them I’d meet them at Chapters when it was over.

You'd think after the 1st or 2nd one you'd have figured out Star Wars just isnt for you and stop going.
"Fool me once..." and all that.
5 times though? Seriously?

Oh i couldn't leave the 1st star wars. We watched it at 130am in the morning and I didn't drive. Didn't watch the 2nd and 3rd in the theatre but fell asleep watching both of them at home.
Was forced to go to the last 2 Star Wars. Tickets were bought for me and pretty much went for the popcorn. But I did leave before both movies ended. It's a 2 minute walk from the theatre back to my house.
Never walked out of any other movie. Walked out of the opera after 35 mins.. No subtitles? haha
I know a person on this board who watched the Phantom Menace 50 times+ in the theatre hoping it would beat Titanic at the box office..... LOSER lol

Thats insane. That movie was so bad it bordered on a crime, I cant even imagine that without it being 'A Clockwork Orange.'

Pretty sure it violates the Geneva Convention now.
Before the movie I spent like $10 on the JarJar cup and promptly threw it in the garbage when we left the theatre!
Lucas prob had family held hostage when he made those 1st 3 movies.

A Weekend at Bernie's II, at WEM, when we lived in Anuston.
I didn't want to go to it in the first place, but lost in the group vote. They felt shame in their choice, I don't think we lasted 30 minutes.

I dont think I've ever actually finished that film.
It gives me nausea..I just cant deal with that much 'shaky-cam.'
Not to mention...the whole premise of it was ridiculous.
"We found this footage of the Scooby Gang looking for a Witch in the woods or some such other nonsense."
You didnt. You set out to make a very inexpensive film.
I think its still up there as one of the most profitable movies of all time? Because it cost nearly nothing to make?
