As others have mentioned, it hasn't happened yet to me either, though I have fallen asleep in the theatre during a film. The Firm, with Tom Cruise. I think it was about a corrupt law firm or something, not sure, couldn't keep my eyes open and snoozed through at least two-thirds of it. So far it's the only movie that's put me to sleep while at the theatre.

Hasn't happened yet, but I try to see movies that will have some redeeming quality, so I really don't see a lot of movies.
Me too.
There have been some that I've rented and wound up not watching the whole thing because it was so bad. The Horse Whisperer and the remake of Miracle on 34th Street are the only ones that I can remember doing that with, but I know I've done it with others too.

Movies I walked out on are several
Out of Africa for pure boredom and I was just 8 when that came out and still old enough to know it was a stinker unless your Oprah of course
Bonfires of the Vanities or something like that my God what was Tom Hanks thinking
The Green Mile because when I saw that that poor man was going to be executed at the end it bothered me so bad that I walked out crying like a baby and I still dont know the complete ending to that movie
Shawshank Redemption walked out on that one too
The 1998 American version of Godzilla. You dont commit blasphemy like that to the big G. It was total ****

Sixteen Candles, only the main reason we walked out of it had more to do with 8 of us high schoolers being at the movie with both my pastor and associate pastor and their wives! However, I think we girls who were there did kind of want to sink into the floor. I believe our pastor got our money refunded or at least tried to. I know we ended up going bowling instead.

Last Temptation of Christ
I not only left the theater, but left my date sitting there as well.
First cab ride I ever had, too.

I walked out of Pulp Fiction. I've slept through MANY in the theater and much more through rentals at home. I can rarely watch a whole movie at home.

I only walked out on the Blair Witch Project. It didn't make me mad, but it was extremely overrated and boring and I couldn't take the camera jerkiness anymore. I have fallen asleep in several and in others, my friends/husband--whoever accompanied me and other people in the row near us just started having a conversation and ignored the movie, but stayed in the theater. It is hard to walk out since you do spend a small fortune anymore.

Several years ago a friend and I went to see Ladykillers with Tom Hanks. I've always been a fan but after the, I don't know millionth time of hearing the "F" word we were through. We left after about 30 - 40 minutes. I was amazed that we stayed so long. This was also the first movie that I noticed about 50 other people leaving before we did.
I can't remember walking out of any other movie. I tend to avoid those that I think may be worthless.

It was Bringing Down the House, starring Queen Latifa and Steve Martin.
It was in such poor taste and in the movie there were several very ignorant and stupid stereotypical comments and suggestions about African Americans and our culture. Also there were demeaning comical references made about African American slavery. I would not reccomend this movie to anyone.

Went years ago when I was younger and stupid and didn't pay attention to the ratings. That was B.C. (before Christ) for me.

Bad movies are usually a delightful experience for me. Mostly for the insults.
The only movie I've ever walked out on was Vanilla Sky. What was Cameron Crowe thinking. Coming down from Almost Famous with that garbage...
It had a great soundtrack though. I really can't watch anything with Tom Cruise in it. Unless it's from the early point in his career. Before he bought the rights to Looney Tunes.

I walked out of "The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising". It was based on Susan Cooper's book "The Dark Is Rising" from The Dark Is Rising Sequence ( Over Sea, Under Stone; The Dark Is Rising; Greenwitch; The Grey King; Silver on the Tree).
I adored the series as a kid, spent MANY hours planning how I'd make it into a movie. I was so very excited to see that it had finally been done - but I walked out at the end wishing I'd not bothered to try to sit through it. Turns out there was only another two minutes left, but I'd left.
I was upset through most of the movie at all of the changes. It seemed the only thing kept from the story were the very basics - names, general storyline of finding the signs, The Rider. But otherwise it's a total different story. Having Tom be Will's twin brother who went missing, and then is just returned was the last straw for me.
On it's own, to not know the story, my son loved it. My daughter was finally interested enough to read the book - then within the first two chapters she came to me and said "No wonder you were so upset! This is SO much better than the movie!"
It could have been so much more.

I've walked out of so many films I really couldn't name them all here. There is so much trash out there.
I used to sit and watch these dull, going no-where, doing-nothing, saying-nothing films where you keep waiting for something to happen and nothing ever does. So now, I do not hesitate to walk out if I am by myself. It is different if I am with hubby or friend. I think they might be enjoying it so am more hesitatant to say or do anything.
Some films I've walked out of - Bridges of Madison COunty, Bye, Bye Brazil, Days of Heaven, and Dancing in the Dark. IN the 80s I went to at least 2 movies a week and usually walked out of one. The names escape me now...but is that any wonder?
I only go to perhaps 6 movies a year now and I have not walked out of any in the past couple of years or so.

I've learned that if I've read the book, to NOT see the movie.
The only exception thus far has been the Lord of the Rings.
Chronicles of Narnia have been good, but there are still "reader's digest" type of changes to keep the movie in the allotted time frame.

The only movie dh and I have ever walked out of mid-showing is Mission Impossible 2 ... and it wasn't because the movie was bugging us ... it was because I ended up having some preterm labour with our first child.
