Simple. Are there any movies you just couldn't finish watching, and just turned off halfway? Obviously time-restraints don't count. But anything else is good. Too emotional, too frightening, too whatever. I only ever had one movie I didn't finish, and haven't finished up to this day.
Gladiator. I didn't even get halfway in -- it was only ~20 minutes in, and it was so boring and cliched (not to mention disgusting, and we were eating dinner at the time), and my dad said it didn't get any better, so we turned it off. We never even made it to Rome...
I may or may not have started "Saving Private Ryan" and/or "The Thin Red Line," but I never had any intention of finishing those. After 9/11, my tolerance for violent/gory movies fell significantly.
Blue graffitied on my signature... But it made me laugh, so it's all good!
Something's Gotta Give. I got to the part where Jack Nicholson was cutting off Diane Keaton's sweater with a pair of sewing scissors, and I was like...No. That's the only movie I've ever walked out of.
"Oh, better far to live and die/Under the brave black flag I fly/Than play a sanctimonious part/With a pirate head and a pirate heart."
Pride and Prejudice oh. my. gosh. sooo long. I was even promised that i'd enjoy it....i almost feel asleep. It was the suuuper long older version..i cant think of who it was in it.
Because I Said So. We turned that one off after the first 5 minutes.
and i'm sure there's a few others i just cant think of.

Oh, is it that movie that was created on the basis of "Kiera Knightly has short hair which implies her being a serious actress in a serious movie"?
Yup.
I lasted about 5 minutes before the obscene violence (and I can handle some pretty stupid violence) and idiocy of the movie made me flick it off. Normally I can listen to trash movies as background noise but not this time.
I think it was called The Brothers Grimm. I only went to the cinema to see Harry Potter, but it was full, so I had to see The Brothers Grimm instead. Just awful. I walked out after 10 minutes.
Beowolf. Loved the book, but I sat in the movie with my friend Taylor and we commenting on how badly done it was with the whole Jessica Alba think (or whoever it was playing Grendel's mom.) We didn't walk out, but we were close, and the theatre was empty too.
