Having been a movie buff most of my life I have seen all kinds of movies, the vast majority of which I enjoyed. I am watching one tonight which is pretty good. The subject in the movie has neurofibromatosis think Elephant Man..although the man in the movie has a case not nearly as severe. However, Elephant Man the story of John Merrick was a bit grotesque, but more than that it was very depressing..and shot in black and white. An hour of that, and I was done. Another movie I walked out on was Leaving Las Vegas with Nicholas Cage. It too was extremely depressing. Cocktail I thought was a boring and bad movie..the only good thing was throwing the bottles around. However, was there with my ex and we stayed until the end. He wasn't impressed with it either however.
What movie did you start watching and just walk out? Were there any, or were you wise enough not to see it in the first place?

It is funny you mentioned slept through one. I fell asleep on every Harry Potter movie I tried to watch, including one in the theater, when I was with like 3 other people.3 people like this

I don't usually get into movies that are too graphic.

I would rather watch in a theater, but I rarely go these days. Too far away, and too expensive.

I have never walked out during a film. I have switched a few off at home though.
I love The Elephant Man .

Ugh! You might like the movie A Different Man which deals with the same topic.

I've walked out disappointed a few times, but I've always stayed through the end.

Disappointed I can handle, but not disturbed and disgusted.

@snowy22315 - Then again, I don't go to a lot of movies. Last time I went to see a movie in a theater was the Jeff Bridges remake of True Grit. That's a long time!

Friend constantly falls asleep in movies. Why pay for a ticket if you are going to sleep?

@snowy22315 true! That's why I don't watch a movie that I don't really like

Elephant Man and Leaving Las Vegas both had stellar reviews, but being uncomfortable at a movie is not my idea of a good time.

yes I have. It was Batman Returns. My best friend and I went to see it, but one part of it was too gross to me and we walked out.

I would have probably just shut my eyes until the part I didn't like what was over.

Yeah, they didn't need to see that. I remember when I was 4 we went to see the movie The Hustler in a drive in. There is a scene where they took a guy in another room and broke his thumb I remember asking my parents what happened.

I have stayed seeing a movie until the end. I usually walk out of a theater early to avoid a rush of movie fans though before the closing creits ends.

I do have several when I am streaming at home I give up on because they just aren't that interesting.

I don't watch all kinds of movies. I only love family entertainers and love stories. If they disappoint or too much sentiment is there I may leave .. but that didn't happen till now
