I wanted to walk out while watching Bean (I think that was the name of his film).

Best soundtrack, I'd go with Trainspotting off the top of my head.

I wouldn't say this stubborn, frugal gal walked so much as- left early.

First time I did it was very empowering.

I did walk out of Man in the Iron Mask
I kept thinking of other things I'd rather be doing.....like re-drilling a bowling ball.

Most recently it was Dark Knight.....with 15 min. left of the movie meter....I know, I know. I'm seriously wacked.
I blame hormones- I just couldn't take anymore.
I still think that film is seriously flawed.

on Trainspotting- I bought that. What's not to like if Iggy is havin a little
lust for life

I like Guy Richie's trak's a heck of a lot better than his ex wife's music.
I will invest in a few one of these days

this>> lock stock and two smoking barrels: ez rollers

cannot find my fav remix of that, either they took it down because of the jazz sample it contained or they are charging for it now....probably both.

Never walked on a movie, but my fave soundtrack (because I have a soft spot for it) is from Romeo & Juliet. Radiohead song is fab and so is the love song... Thank you, Des'ree!!

I WISHED I had walked out on...I'm not even sure what it's called. It was a superhero parody, and I was in the mood for something silly like the Scary Movie series or Not Another Teen Movie, but this was so incredibly bad. Many others did walk out but I stuck through it, only to envy those who left. Mercifully, I remember almost nothing of it.

One movie I thinked I'd have enjoyed in a different mood was Kill Bill. Unfortunately I didn't recognize Tarantino, and if I had I'd have known better. From the cheesy movie poster and some brief commercial I saw I figured it was going to be a parody of revenge movies. I ALMOST left in the first 5 minutes as it was making my bleak mood much worse, but I stuck through it thinking they were just being over the top and it would get better (and I figured the guy wouldn't give me my money back and that was more than I wanted to just throw away at the time). And I can recognize a lot of brilliance to it, but now when I see it I keep feeling that bleakness again so it's ruined for me now. Had I walked out I think I could've enjoyed it later.

I was tricked into seeing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), and comforted that there were so many little kids there to see it (not realizing how many parents out there take kids to such movies as well as how many sneak in). It was NOT the parody of the earlier movies the guy who took me to it had lied about it being and my adrenaline got so bad that I literally tried running out all freaked but he grabbed me and after crying and the adrenaline crash I was too exhausted, and by then the scene had moved on and I was able to renew my resolve when the evil deputy got ran over by his squad car over and over again. The guy who tricked me into going was VERY lucky I restrained from doing him serious bodily harm when he grabbed me as I tried getting past him(if I had less impulse control like most people such as himself, he'd likely have needed an ambulance). I never trusted him again either and we drifted apart after that. Yes, I know it was stupid to have trusted him, but I was still operating under the delusion that most people were more or less like me and wouldn't have lied to me, especially after I told him I had PTSD.

Strangely, the ONLY reason I didn't walk out on Revenge of the Sith (for being as annoying as it was unbelievable to me) was because I had no idea when the movie I thought of as "purgatory" would end and I was with too many friends there. What's strange is one of my favorite books is the novelization by Matthew Stover, but even after reading the novel and loving it I tried seeing the movie again on dvd and just could not get through it. (The reason I read the novel was because in trying to explain why I disliked the movie to a major Star Wars fanatic and probable closet member of the "Jedi" religion, he argued me on a certain point about Yoda and I got the novelization from the library, which, btw, backed my views in the ways he disagreed with about how the Emperor was stronger than Yoda in the Force, despite Yoda telling Luke the dark side was weaker before sending him off to do what he himself could not. I also loved reading it, too, and it answered many questions the movie left blank that drove me nuts.)

A notable vid I turned off (didn't see it at the movies) was Born of the Fourth of July. Mercifully, I've forgotten many of the specific scenes I endured in that one but it was monstrously depressing. Someone over the internet urged us to watch it saying it was feel good, but it made me feel worse & worse and that humanity was scum and I finally looked it up on the net and saw how it kept going and realized I'd been lied to, or probably more accurately, the one recommending it NEEDED such overbearing tragedy to feel at all because otherwise she felt nothing. I explained my experiences as a warning to others (as I wished someone had done for me before I rented it) and she tried to trash me as unpatriotic for not loving it, but enough others thanked me for warning them before they saw it that I was glad for that much.

ghanima81- Desiree has quite a voice- back in the day i bought that one too, but I bought the wrong one. If I remember there were two. Now I look more closely as they often sell two versions [or more] of hot titles, don't remember why it was the wrong one.
It's gathering dust somewhere I'll have to look.

Dervish - people who think 4th of july is a feel good movie or a patriotic movie!?

Never got that either, and I only watched it once....that was enough. Some of the hospital scenes are seared to my brain pan.
It is trotted out every year on Memorial Day and the 4th. Triumph over adversity? I just don't get it.

With movies of difficult or perhaps dark subjects--
Recently I watched
Goya's Ghosts trailer

And Deals with the spanish inquisition and being put to the question

Milos Foreman directed- with Javier Bardem (brilliant)
and Natalie Portman.
Difficult movie, yet I recommend it to you. Just pick the timing>?

I walked on Beowulf..

That was so annoying.
His only line was "I am Beowulf".

I missed the cliffhanger ending when, to everyone's surprise, someone else says to him "You are Beowulf".
