movies you\'ve actually walked out of
 
not movies you just don't like...I mean movies where you payed your ticket, sat down, and actually walked out before the film was over.

My list:

Caligula

The Malcom McDowell/Peter O'Tool/John Gielgud film produced by Penthouse boss Bob Guccione. It's a mess. Apparently, Guccione filmed the stars in one film and then shot porno scenes with unknowns and cut it all together. The worst part is that the porno scenes are actually better executed than the scenes with the actual film stars. A disgustingly bad film.

Nightfall

Late 80's version of the classic Isaac Asimov short story. It stars David Birney and Sarah Douglass and it just may be the worst movie of all-time. Horribly amateurish, with little to no production value. It makes the campy TV show Lost in Space look like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The Crow

I'm sure a lot of you think this is a great film. It's not. Pure crap, with no redeeming value at all. The "hero" is a sadistic, vengeful thug who gets off on torturing his victims. Worst of all, the highly-touted action scenes are just plain boring. Bad, bad movie.

By the way, if you get up and leave within a half hour of the film starting, most theaters will refund your money. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I have never walked out of a movie...but I wanted to during War of the Worlds. That might have been more of the combination of me feeling not well and the movie being terrible though.

Not sure.

Sidenote: Boo walking out of the Crow [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Haha.

I've never walked out of a movie, period. Even terrible ones I watch till the end.


And I like Caligula. I see it as absurdist arthouse, on a par with the lower end of Greenaway movies.

Malibu's Most Wanted. I don't know how I ended up there in the first place. At least it was a dollar theater.
