I as well have never walked out on a film. Being an independent filmmaker myself, despite how poor a film might be, I feel it is disrespectful to walk out of a movie, shut off a DVD mid-way through, even fall asleep during films. I've always been this way, perhaps putting myself in their shoes; if I saw people walking out, it would be very disheartening, and though the movie may be really poor quality, not every one who helped make it is to blame.

But that's just my two cents
I fall asleep during movies I love all the time. Not because I'm disrespecting, I'm just exhausted! I swear, comfy seat, dark room, I'm out!
I did walk out on Be Cool, I seriously couldn't deal with it. Though my hubby enjoyed seeing Uma's butt. I liked Get Shorty... maybe I just wasn't in the mood.
I wish I could have walked out on Braveheart... that movie was wayyy too long. I kept dozing off and every time I woke up Mel was yelling and people were fighting uuuggghhhhh.
I walked out of Hercules (Lou Ferrigno 1983) as it made "Killer Tomatoes" look like a Steven Spielburg production. Should have walked on Ishtar (1987), but didn't. Always regretted that. And, Hellraiser (1987), just too much gore at the time. I saw about 10 minutes of Saw (2004) on HBO before I turned it off. I need a $5.00 Pepsi.
Walked out of "The Pianist." Normally I'm blase about Hollywood being stuck on themes, but when Schindler's List hit the target on holocaust movies, and then Pianist tried to do sad doggy eyes in on top of that, I cracked. Enough is enough. Buy a plot, guys. One outside of Germany in WWII.
We struggled through the next one on tivo, but the movie was so ponderous I would have walked in a theatre - "Young Winston." Attenborough must have hated Churchill to present scenes like the interview without the interviewer. Whoever it was that was trying to narrate in a Churchill voice sounded more like a fat Jack Kennedy than Churchill.
Doesn't quite count, cause I was a manager at the time, but I walked out of the original showing of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre when the one customer for the matinee was sitting there laughing whenever the chainsaw started up.
I'm sure there were many more that I walked out on. Those three just happened to be easy to remember.
My husband and I walked out on Life With Mikey in 1993. I had a good excuse. We went straight from there to the hospital where I had our daughter a few hours later. The manager ran after us and gave us free tickets for next time, LOL!!
Never walked out of a movie because I so seldom go to movie theaters. I think it's pretty apparent now that 90% of box office movies are tiresomely cliched pieces of crap; so instead of paying $9 to be able to say I saw the movie when it first came out, I wait a few months and borrow it for free from my local library (or spend the $2 to rent it if it's really worth watching).
I was coerced into going to see Goldmember when it came out a few years ago - I almost walked out of that not so much because it was so disgustingly retarded, but because of the fear of a theater full of people around me laughing hysterically and enjoying every moment of such garbage.
Had to take a child to see Pirates of the Caribbean a few years ago. Fell asleep shortly after it started. What a yawner.
I've walked out of dozens of movies and there are dozens more I wish I had walked out on. If I don't like the movie in the first 30 minutes I go to the box office and get my money back.
They always give it back too. I can't stand giving 2 hours of my life to a bad movie- and the worst movies are the ones that preach and propagandize.
Walked out on Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back...within 10 mins we heard the "f " word over 100 times, it was just too much.
