Titanic. I was dying to go to the loo for about the last hour, only I saw it in a jam-packed old cinema with no aisles, and was sitting right in the middle with about 20 rapt, hysterically weeping people on either side of me, and they would probably have rioted if I interrupted their view of old Leonardo Potato-Face going down with the ship. Never did anything sink so slowly…

Yes! Actually didn’t mind the film but was sat in the centre of a front row and really needed the loo not helped by all the water swashing around and could only think ‘die Leonardo die’.

Mr & Mrs Smith. About 15 minutes in and folk started leaving in droves. Us included.

Pet Cemetery- we walked out about half way through!

I went to about 3 Harry Potter films before I put my foot down - no more of that cobblers. See also the first Lord of the Godawful Rings. I went to one, never again.

The Revenant
Oppenheimer

Into the Woods

I also like a lot of these films. The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my favourites!

The only film I've ever walked out of is Batman... and Robin? Forever? One of them anyway. I think the one with Jim Carey as the Riddler.

Van Helsing.

I can't remember the one I actually walked out of. Was years ago.

However we got given cinema vouchers recently for a chi chi local cinema- sofas, indie films etc and watched Wicked Little Letters.
Nothing wrong with the premise of either but the combination of a really expensive cinema ( and the resulting clientele ) with a smug film full of luvvies saying ( gasp) very rude words, just bloody annoyed me.
I thought a multiplex with people eating shite constantly was annoying. Turns out it's just as annoying when posh people eat very expensive homemade treats loudly throughout to make it more of an experience.

The Top Gun sequel. Dire. I kept nodding off but then there'd be a really loud noise so I couldn't even get a proper nap.

SocksAndTheCity · 13/04/2024 00:27

Walked out of Free Guy, Signs, About A Boy, Scary Movie (I don't know which number it was), Reign of Fire, and God knows how many terrible festival films.

I left my partner of the time watching the first Lord Of The Rings film while I went for a pee and wound up having a hot dog and reading the paper outside for half an hour (I missed nothing and slept through the rest).

The Core was so execrable I stayed to see if it could get worse (it did). At one point the sound failed and they had to stop it, and the audience cheered.

Bit niche, but the Tulpa screening at FrightFest in 2012 (I think) remains legendary. The director and cast were in attendance and the whole crowd howled laughing all the way through it, including me. It was not a comedy Grin.

Peppa Pig the movie

Nativity 3

The Blair Witch Project - absolute shite

Completely agree. As I left the cinema people were saying how frightened they were and I was thinking have we just watched the same film?

Deadringer · 13/04/2024 00:54

Anyone but you. Pure shite.

SpiritOfEcstasy · 13/04/2024 00:56

Mary Magdalene … I struggled to stay awake

out of Africa

Oh no! I love that film!

25thCenturyQuaker · 13/04/2024 01:31

Hereafter - what the hell was Clint Eastwood thinking? I was near-paralysed with boredom. DH and I weren't the only ones to bail out early.

crumblingschools · 13/04/2024 01:32

@neilyoungismyhero I saw one of the Police Academy films and one reel (in the days cinemas had to change reels) was in Spanish. We all thought it was part of the film for the first few minutes and then realised it wasn’t!

One of the worst children’s films I had to sit through with DS was the SpongeBob SquarePants movie

MeandBobbyMcGoo · 13/04/2024 01:34

Dude where's my car. And atonement. There was a film club taking notes, and I disliked all the characters in and out of the film.

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 13/04/2024 01:44

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein - the only film I’ve ever walked out of early.

The English Patient. Mind you I was clearly coming down with something and felt like shit.

The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp

My husband and I always use this film as reference to how bad other films are... 'but is it The Ninth Gate bad?' It will always be the worst film I've ever seen!!!

Lonelycrab · 13/04/2024 02:00

The lake house

Starring Keano Reeves and someone. Utter dross.

KohlaParasaurus · 13/04/2024 02:08

Peter Pan 2, with my children many years ago.
Statement of Youth. I was expecting something like Free Solo, not a dreary film about dull layabout boys in the 1980s.

Delawear · 13/04/2024 02:09

Barbie.

trainplane · 13/04/2024 02:20

Beau is afraid, even though I love Joaquin Phoenix and really tried to stick it out. Crash, many years ago, and again I really like James Spader but couldn’t sit through it.
