I walked out on "Runteldat," the Martin Lawrence stand up movie. I guess I didn't really get his humor because I like his movies but the stand-up was not funny. I left and went next door to watch Goldmember.
I nearly walked out on "Cabin Fever." When the n-word got dropped, I yelled "Oh hell no!" About a third of the theater walked out (it was a nearly all-black audience) and I started to go, too, but my friends pulled me back into my seat.

I've fallen asleep during lots of movies. Too many to count. I've walked out of three that I can remember.
Born on the Fourth of July Just hated it.
Syriana I was just  .
Traffic Every scene seemed like it had a different color filter on the camera lens and each shot had a bright light in one corner and a big unfocused blob in another. I got a migraine and had to leave.

Blair Witch Project - motion sickness, I think half of the theater left early on.
Battlefied: Earth - Worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bad movies.
Waterworld - Fell asleep
Those are the top 3 bad one I've seen.

Twice.
Thankfully, I was working at the theatre so I got to see it for free.

Classic case of the book was better.
The only movie I walked out on was The Fabulous Baker Boys. I wanted to with Eyes Wide Shut, but was preoccupied with trying to figure out what was going on.

Never walked out of the theater, but my husband showed me Eraserhead, and I'll give anything a shot, but this one... halfway in, I got up, left the room and didn't come back til it was over.

I came close to walking out when I went to see the last Star Trek movie. It would have been a good movie on its own, but it was just too far from canon. (Yes, I know there was heavy use of time travel and therefore they didn't "have to" adhere to canon, but come on. Spock and Uhura??)

Out of Africa. We left at the intermission and managed not to die of boredom.

Me too. I've never walked out of a movie in a theater, because I would feel like I had wasted money plus I'm optimistic and will hold out hope until the last minute that the movie is salvageable.
I almost walked out of a Hannibal on IMAX. The brain scene literally almost made me throw up. Instead, I closed my eyes and plugged my ears for about 10 minutes. lol
I don't sleep in public, so I've never fallen asleep in a movie either.

The only movie I've ever walked out of the theater on was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Fell asleep in the theater during Thor.

I've never walked out of a theater because of the money I've spent to see the movie.
I have stopped watching rentals if within the first 20 minutes I'm either confused or bored out of my mind.
Eragon-bored out of my mind
Gladiator-really wanted to like this, but man I had to shut it off after 15 minutes.
