Happiness. I've never ever walked out of a film in a cinema, but I came very very close during that one. Rather wish I had, too - it was awful.

Close runner up, The Game...and I was less than enamoured with Dazed & Confused as well.

I walked out of two movies. "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" was just too depressing, although it may have just been my mood, and "Fellini Satyricon", just too boring.

happiness was great!

Surely this is the most popular ILE question, this being the 3rd time it has been asked? My answer is STILL 'Blair Witch 2'.

― DG, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

....and my answer is still "Titanic", tho' thee 2nd "bill & ted" movie is the closest I've come to walking out.

Most popular question or most obvious?

― Ronan, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The fourth Batman film. Even ice puns could not redeem it.

Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Well, the ten minutes I saw of it.

― Ally C, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pirahana II The Spawning. It may be the greatest flick about flying deadly fish ever made but it still stinks.

― Mr Noodles, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Erm...'My Stepmother is an alien' and I didn't even walk out! What drove me to pay to see it is entirely another matter.

Oh, and 'Metropolitan' - just plain dull to my eyes/ears, I'm afraid.

― Bill E, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Actually, the two Whit Stillman movies I've seen (Barcelona & Last Days of Disco) were drab as hell. Chloe Sevigny (in the latter) was downright awful (but fetching). Actually, all the ladies in said films were fetching. But we're talking about bad movies (Mach III).

Haven't seen a bad one in a while, though MULLHOLLAND FALLS was pretty pooh, gratuitous lesbian breast-groping & masturbatory panty- fingering notwithstanding. ("Oh, you don't understand, it's a David Lynch movie. That's his style." Oh. Since when was it his style to make bad movies, hmm?)

1980?

― ethan, Wednesday, 14 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the only movies i actually left the theatre before the end were "Caligula" & "Parasite 3D". I might've gone to sleep during some.

Leon the Pig Farmer, Blair Witch Project, Damage - walked out

― , Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i, too, thought 'happiness' was ace. bleak, but ace. i've never walked out of a cinema but the 2 worst films i have *ever* seen (on video) are Pretty Woman and Meet Joe Black. i thought Summer of Sam (in cinema) was pretty poor too.

― katie, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

God, so many. Scream 3, just one plucked at random...

― Will, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

any number of 1980's b grades I have seen in my time, most notable being 'forbidden dance'

― Menelaus Darcy, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Grease is the worst film ever made.

Parasite 3D: I would only have gone IN to snooze

― mark s, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

On film I've paid to see I've walked out on - Paul Hogan's attrocious : Almost An Angel. Walked in with a friend, left the friend and the film for their appaling taste in movies.

― Pete, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I DID fall asleep at a preview of 'Amityville 3 in 3-D' many many years ago. A truly terrible movie. Did quite enjoy 'Friday The 13th Part 3 In 3-D', tho.

― Andrew L, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"The World is Not Enough" on telly last night was pretty appalling. Though I looked out onto the docklands bit where they filmed the opening scene in my previous job.

― Mark C, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hot Shots Part Deux. I've never walked out on a film - same must- finish mentality as I have with books.

― Madchen, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

never walked out of anything either, I have to sit to the end. I did fall asleep during Pret a Porter though.

― Jonathan G, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

IMAX Cyberworld 3D is particularly boring, and completely misses the point of Style Over Content and blinding with science.

Normal films, I'll watch anything. Oh actually, Judge Dredd: The only film that I've been watching and paused from dribbling to think "What the fuck am I watching?"

― Graham, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'whipped.' there was absolutely nothing redeeming about it -- it was just 90 or so minutes of hatred and 'oh look, i dropped her vibrator down an unflushed toilet' jokes.

― maura, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

this = weird...it was only 3/4 s way through this thread i found a movie i disliked....shit, what was the awful flick with cusak and jolie and sam neil...fucking awful, walked outta that one.

― Geoff, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"The Beach" - yeah, paradise is being stuck on an island with a bunch of Belgian x-treme-sports hippy-jock ravers, one of whom knows how to play Bob Marley songs on his acoustic guitar. What could possibly go wrong?

― fritz, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"songs from the second floor". bleak comedy my ass.

― toby, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

pushing tin...i remembered!

― Geoff, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In the film I watched last night the two main characters spent the first ten minutes snorting coke before the major plot line kicked in, scoring a kilo..of...coke. The producers claimed they raised the finance came from their own resources. Old money makes me sick.

― K-reg, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, Pushing Tin. I didn't WANT to hate it, with those actors/resses, but, damn it, I had no choice. CRAPPY special FX.

― David Raposa, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think we should compare all three threads and see what answers have mutated. ;-)

Part of me finds this question hard to answer, since I love bad movies so much. But I think the last thing I saw in theaters that left me uninvolved was The Accidental Tourist. Whatever was I thinking?

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I share Ogden's intense dislike of "The Game". I fear that if I mention "Hollow Man" one more time, the anti-cannonists among us will mandatorily have to like it. So I won't.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'As Good As It Gets' Helen Hunt! Cuba Gooding Jr! That stupid-faced dog! etc!
ManyManyMany BritFlicks, starting with 'Human Traffic', 'The Full Monty' all those damn Ritchie clones.
I tried to sleep through 'Mortal Kombat II: Annihilation' but it was just too damn noisy.

― DavidM, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Noooooo! Human Traffix r0x0r beyond belief - I came out of that film all revved up to score some eccies from the first dealer I saw and run straight into Equinox next door for some bangin' choons. Yes, Equinox. That's how desperate I was.

Sadly I had my psycho bitch from hell ex with me at the time so I was brought back down to earth with a bump quick fast.

Blair Witch 2 would be up there. As has been noted, I'm more likely to remember huge let-down movies than just movies of poor quality which there are in droves. Speaking of let-downs, I saw Star Wars a couple days ago and it made me sad thinking about Episode One.

I nearly walked out of Doom Generation. My Dad walked my brothers and I out of "Yor." "Toy Soldiers" was so bad my friends and I just ripped it to shreds throughout the movie, which made it quite fun. There is an Ed Wood-like version of Salem's Lot that was just terrible. Oh my. On the other end, I really want to see Amelie.

― bnw, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, before I forget: Phantom of the Paradise

― turner, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wow, I will agree with Madchen on this one that Hot Shots part Deux was truly terrible. As for Blair Witch 2 - this movie is rad. Far superior to Blair Witch. I even have a poster on my wall. The acting is insanely good and the parts where the wiccan girls starts spouting off her crap is just genius.

Although, I like bad films. "Short Circuit 2" is highly regarded in my book.

Worst movie ever--"America's Sweethearts". Bad. Bad.
