Can't remember any that I've walked out on, though there were quite a few that I wanted to.

I did watch most of the theater walk out of The Spirit though. I've never seen that many people walk out before.

One of the Scary Movies, either 2 or 3. That movie was terrible and the people watching it with me were even worse.

I never walked out of a movie because of the movie. It was because the audience was so obnoxious and annoying. I can't even remember which movie it was but the audience was constantly hootin and hollering and talking so my gf and I just left. This was a long time ago, like 8 years ago. I still can't remember the movie.

Rocky Horror Picture Show? At Midnight? If it was, that's was part of the experience.

I thought someone may have taken me to task over Jackie Brown, but Elf and a lurid dramatic remake of a screwball comedy...

No heh. That looks kinda fun with all the people dressing up. No this was at some local mall and too many teens were in the theater (I wasn't much older, like early 20's). I still can't remember the movie... More recently I remember seeing LOTR RotK in the theater and everyone and their mother was cheering for Logolas. Legolas could have farted and the entire theater cheered and clapped. I still sat and enjoyed it though.

I almost walked out of Hitchhiker's Guide but my wife wanted to finish the film so we did.

Master and Commander is a great flick!

Yes, some friends and I walked out on Super Troopers somewhere around the part where they were drinking entire bottles of syrup.

Years later we watched it while incredibly high and found it slightly more tolerable. At least to the point where it could be finished. Still not worth the price of a matinee ticket.

edit to add, we didn't get a cash refund, but we got free passes to see any other movie. It's stupid to walk out and not get some compensation

Some horrible space alien movie in 1994 or so. So bad I do not recall its name. The filming was way to dark (visibly dark) so I couldn't see what thee F was going on. I think it had to do with insect like aliens versus marines. Some sort of plot like that.

Walked out of the first Harry Potter movie. Sorry everybody, but I didn't read the books and that movie by itself SUCKS. Any adult that loved it is an idiot. The plot development is like watching paint dry about 6 times over 2 hours. Attack me. If you do that means you've read the books. I repeat. I did not read the books and saw the movie due to hype and realized that it sucks.

Another great movie. Their other movies suck, but Super Troopers ranks right up there with Office Space.

Fixed.
There are so many good lines in that movie it's ludicrous.
I never understood why so many people love a movie so lame. I admit it was no Shanghai Surprise, but seriously...a bunch of half-assed Star Wars and Star Trek themed one-liners and sight gags from a cast headlined by John Candy and Rick Moranis who between the two of them could barely carry a Saturday Night Live sketch? Even a talent as great as Mel Brooks lays an occasional turd on screen, and this was his.

Flame all you want, but I calls 'em likes I sees 'em, and this one impressed me not at all.
