Ever walked out of a film at the cinema or slept through it?

We left during the film Heat, neither of us could understand what was going on. Years later I fell asleep during the Lego movie, unfortunately I snore and snorted myself awake. I was unwell with a cold to. I shot up and sleep walked to the doors and fresh air leaving the kids and MIL behind. Everyone has noticed.

Hahaha this reminded me of my ExH who insisted I take him to see Sleeping Beauty the ballet instead of my friend who bought me the tickets. Five mins in he was snoring his head off. Ushers finally came and told him he’d have to leave if he didn’t stay awake.

The only time I’ve almost slept at a live event was an armature opera event my friends armature company was putting on. I think it was Beethoven. I made my excuses during the interval because I was nodding off and we were on the front row.

I wish I had walked out of Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

And me! it was absolute shite.

Lots of people walked out of Babylon, I thought the first 1.5 hrs was fine, had a snooze and then watched the last hour….

I only regularly started going to the cinema when I was at uni and always used to fall asleep, something about the dark room which just made me nod off.
It didn’t matter whether it was a rom com or action film with huge explosions, I would always drift off half way through then wake up 5 minutes from the end. Fell asleep on my first date with dh watching The Green Mile and it was a running joke for a few years that I never saw the end.
Took me around a decade to get out of that habit!

@FussyPud I fell asleep during every single one of the LotR films - I didn't really want to go anyway. To this day - never seen any of them.

I always get confused with 28 days and 28 days later. The Sandra bullock one, fucking awful, didn’t walk out as it was video I think, but gave up. The zombie one I actually liked.

many kids movies I’ve slept through, usually with a hangover. Before I had DCs I’d regularly take younger cousins and my DSD to the movies and sleep the entire movie. Yes I was a shit guardian, I know!

Only movie I walked out of was He-Man when I was a kid.

Only walked out once.
Slept through a fair few though.

Back when I was in my 20s mainly.

Walked out of Saw 2, enjoyed the first film but this was just too much gratuitous violence. Never bothered with any more in the franchise. At the weekend fell asleep during Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Enjoyed the 3 previous films, bit of daft nonsense but this was so boring and far too long. An hour in and still no real movement of the plot me and DH agreed to give it 10 more minutes (its a 2.5 hour film) and then we both promptly fell asleep 🤣

I used to take the kids to the cinema just so I could have a snooze knowing they were safe and entertained.
I've also fallen asleep during films I've wanted to see. I think I am chronically tired.
Fell asleep during Miss Saigon (stage show) - sodding helicopter in that!
Mozart opera in Prague.
The ballet.
Put me in a warm, dark room and zzzzzzzz.
Of course I spend many hours in my actual bed at night willing sleep to arrive.

I too walked out of reservoir dogs@rubyslipperss at the same place. Also The Fly when his ear fell off. So it must be ears for me! Both times I came back after a bit.

Fell asleep during the ads before Pokemon The Movie and woke up as the film credits rolled at the end. Thank god!

Never walked out of a movie and never fallen asleep in the cinema but there's something about the movie Armageddon. I've never seen the whole thing as every time I watch it I fall asleep. 🤣

I would have walked out if I'd been on my own 'moulin rouge' biggest pile of 💩 ever. But my bf & friend thought it was 'ok'.

wish I could have slept through it.

My waters broke during Meistersinger… but very close to the end. I think it may have induced labour, as I was in the front row and about two feet from the giant orchestra, which was making DS ricochet about internally. (After which nothing happened, labour didn’t progress at all, and I had a CS what felt like several weeks later, lest it sounds too dramatic!)

(If it was the ROH revival in 2012, I agree it was dull!)

The only film I’ve ever walked out of was Michael Haneke’s La Pianiste — having just watched Isabelle Huppert’s masochistic piano teacher character try to have sex with her vicious elderly mother, I decided to leave before her pupil rapes her because she’s instructed him to, in detail, by letter. Michael Haneke is brilliant, as is IH, but I couldn’t hack any more self-mutilation in the bathtub.

Oh I feel asleep on the 20th anniversary re-release of the original Star Wars film fell asleep when they boarding the ships and woke up when they were coming back 🤣 tried watching it on tv and same thing happened!

It's more rare I stay awake through a whole film, took ds to latest mission impossible film I was asleep before the trailers finished!

Bush!
i did both, fell asleep into my oh got bored and then we left.
that was a boring film

Jackie Brown
The Pelican Brief

both probably half decent films but I was way too young to be watching them, bored stiff and straight over my head.

The equivalent now is watching 5 mins of a Netflix film and turning it off, which we do all the time.

I've slept through quite a few. Walked out of 'Are you there god, it's me Margaret' which I had been really looking forward to as a bit of Judy Blume nostalgia. It was awful.

Batman. 1989 version

I just remembered when I was in my early 20s I used to go to the cinema a lot, and on one occasion, a group of older teens walked out very loudly after a couple of lines because the film was (in) French it did make me wonder if people just pick films to watch at random, but also if people choose to watch a sequel without watching the first one - film was crimson rivers 2, if they’d watched the first one they’d have known it was French!

I slept through almost the entire movie Star Wars - The Clone Wars. I took my 5 yo DS who sat on my lap and was warm and snuggly, so I just drifted off. Only woke occasionally and briefly to agree with him when he said “that bit was good, wasn’t it mummy?” before drifting straight back off again.

I walked out out of Harlem Nights a film with Eddie Murphy it was so rubbish. I can't remember when it was- many many years ago

1958/59 double bill The Fly and The Alligator People.. Husband to be had to take me home. It was awful.
