Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?

I went to a free screening of Mixed Nuts in college. I was one of many people who walked out, and I think Steve Martin himself wouldn’t blame me.
I saw Brokeback Mountain when it first came out, and during the first homosexual scene I saw several angry boyfriends dragging their dates out of the theater. I feel like every one of them had a ball cap on.
We didn’t walk out of Ultraviolet, but when we left, the whole theater staff was there to see our reaction to how bad it was. They told me I owed my date dinner.

Barnyard. My daughter and I used to go see EVERY kids movie when she was between 5 and 12 yrs. Let me tell you, I have learned to enjoy some shitastic movies. Then came Barnyard. 30 minutes in, it was so bad, I leaned over to my (then 6 years old) daughter and said "Sweetie, do you like this movie?" She looked at me with the most serious face and just said "No".

In “Mother” there were a couple of Manc women at the back who were either in there to see J Law or thought it’d be a regular horror movie to watch after the pub. They kept reacting to the movie throughout - at first because it was boring, and then with incredulity at what was happening onscreen. They’d only had enough though by the baby cannibalism scene.

I literally fell asleep and started snoring during "At Eternity's Gate", the one where the Willem Dafoe looking up meme is taken from. It was so boring... My girlfriend poked me in the ribs and I woke up to people around me laughing at me.
I stayed as well as most of the audience but when I sat for Kill Bill, at least 10 people got up and walked out when O-Ren Ishii took the head off Tanaka.
I mean, it's Tarantino. What did they expect, feet? Wait, that actually makes sense.
I wondered the same thing. Their loss IMO.

I always considered Kill Bill v1 an "in-genre parody," it's supposed to be over the top and ridiculous! I was laughing the whole time!
Thats exactly what it is. I had a blast.
Vanilla Sky (2001) with Tom Cruise.
Absolutely awful movie. That was the only movie I’ve ever walked out on, and I’ve seen some really bad movies.
Haha, a very *polarizing movie! Everyone I've ever talked to about it either hates Vanilla Sky or loves it. I'm in the latter camp! That moment when he's running, screaming for Tech Support as "Good Vibrations" plays... So good.

My friend loves that movie. It's in his top 5
I'm not sure if your friend has bad taste in movies or you have bad taste in friends...
You seem cool, though. What's the rest of his top 5?
