Annie Hall.

And, coincidentally, I had forgotten about this until last weekend when we went to see Match Point with Scarlett Johansson. Midway through the movie some young couple (with a smokin' hot chick) got up and left. I suddenly had a flashback to when my smokin' hot highschool gf and I walked out of Annie Hall.

The only movie I've ever left early on:
When my wife and I were still dating we went to see moonstruck or something like that with Cher. We left early. I've never tried to watch it since so I don't know if we left early because the movie sucked or because we were horny.:D

I got up and walked right out when they were tied up and gagged in the backroom/basement thing.

A couple of years later I rented it and watched the whole thing. Good movie I guess, just at the time it was more than I could handle. I think I was 6 weeks postpartum the first time and not a good idea.

Pulp Fiction changed the way i watched movies, it opened my eyes or something.

after seeing it i actually took an interest in good movies, and indie films. that and i started actually thinking about what i was watching and what they are trying to say.

some of that might have had to do with starting college as well, i saw it over winter break my freshman year

Technically, I didn't walk out on Se7en. I started getting up, but the gf insisted that I stayed.

The sloth dude pushed it over the edge. I wanted to vomit. But, at least the rest of the movie was so freakin' unbelievable, it became a comedy to me at the end. When some overacting dude gets on the radio and says, "Somebody call somebody!!!!!!!", I couldn't help but laugh. So, I guess I can say that the movie was so bad, it was funny. But, in no way will I ever consider it a "good movie."

"The Doors" was the only movie I ever walked out on.

The list would be pretty longish of flicks I have fallen asleep during. Most recent would be Charlie and the Choc Factory. Actually we both fell asleep.

I kept nodding at Spiderman 2, and felt really guilty about it b/c the boy was so excited about seeing it. Then I looked at him and he was having the same trouble. That's when I realized that it was nowhere near the quality of Spiderman 1. Too much MJ love story, not nearly enough Doc Ock.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall the comic books being anywhere near the unrequited love fest/MJ obsession that the movies are. Then again, the comic books back in the day weren't trying to pander to a female audience either.
