So I was reading some posts and read numerous times about walking out on a movie. With the price of movies these days I was wondering who really does that. I don't think I have ever walked out of a movie.

Only movie I've ever walked out on was Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and that was like 14 years ago or something ;)

I walked out on The Marrying Man and some other movie that I cant recall right now. Both times went to box office and complained about how bad the movie was and was refunded full price for ticket in form of movie passes to another show at a later date.

I think I only have once...early 90's space movie of some kind. I can't remember the name...might have even been in 3-D. It was AWFUL. Other than that, no...I just suffer through even if it's horrid.

I've walked out on a few movies but there are times when I talk myself out of walking out(which is a mistake more often than not).

I remember walking out of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and one of the Tim Burton Batmans...there are others but those come to the top of my head.

That stupid movie Stay with Ewan McGregor was so God awful I should have walked out but I stupidly stuck it out hoping it would have some big payoff in the end (it didn't).

I have walked out of two.

Both were on dates since the entertainment out didn't match the entertainment in.

I've walked out twice, but don't recall which ones -- been years, but in both cases, they were supposed to be comedies, and it was clear within 5 minutes this was going to be a really painful waste of time -- the money was gone, no need to spend perfectly good time, too. Even though prices have gone way up, I'd still walk out if a movie was a ghastly mistake. (But now I'll know to complain and maybe get a refund!)

It was - I watched it at home. I am clostrophobic (Linder/BIM - spell). I just got freaked out by some of the scenes...


It is one of the ones I want to replace on Bluray.

I walked out on Casper many years ago, but that was more to go do some extracurricular activity, ifyaknowwhatimsayin. We were only there because my roomate loved casper.


The only other movie I walked out on was 30 Days of Night. That drek was unbearable.

I am not a walk-out-of-movies kind of guy.

I walked out of a movie called Strange Invaders back in the 80's. I think that's the only time I've done it.

I wanted to walk out on Up the Creek, but I was with some friends and they wanted to stay.

Never. I only go to the movies a few times per year and it's to something I really really want to see. But I wouldn't walk out of a terrible movie anyway, sometimes I enjoy those just as much as good movies.

I walked out of Freddy got Fingered.

Ha!

In Summer 2001, when this movie came out, my psycho squeeze and I were going to go see this movie, but she didnt have her ID (she was 23) and the cashier guy wouldnt let us in. Talk about dodging a bullet.

You people really need to pay attention to the other movies playing at the time. Leave one and go into another.

:D
