Inspired by Spoony saying that he switched off Blood Diamond halfway through, what films have you been unable to watch in their entirety?

I got about halfway through A.I. before saying it was too stupid for me to continue, then gave up.
 
Funnily enough, I can't recall any besides Blood Diamond. I'm sure there have been a few, though.
 
Blood Diamond is a great film, why would anyone switch it off half way through

i think i turned Daredevil off halfway through
 
LOTR & Star Wars.

I usually switch most pornos off before they finish too.
 
I switched AI off just after Jude Law appeared, but can usually sit through most films even if they are terrible.

The quickest I ever turned off a film was when I watched Domino. I don't think I watched more than 15 minutes. Appalling. I presume it didn't get better.
 
Envy - starring Jack Black and Ben Stiller.

Without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life.

I prefer fast-forwarding to the finish! ;)

Count yourselves lucky you can switch them off. If there's a film I hate, the missus is guaranteed to love it.
 
Dont really recall 'switching off', but I have walked out of pretty much all those terrible spoof movies in the cinema. Some feckin friends I have making me watch that garbage.
 
capote

the incredible hulk

gamorrah (very disappointed with this film, though it was going to be the new 'la haine')
 
I pride myself on being able to sit through even the most interminable films. I survived the self indulgent tedium that is Fantasia, I even lived through every mind numbing second of 8 1/2.

however 1 film beat me and as a big Lynch fan it pains me to say it, but that film was Dune. 90 minutes in I just couldn't take anymore.
 
Actually now I remember, I walked out of Ben X. The flippant suicide discussion was too much at the time.
 
Cleaner. Some random film starring Samuel L. Jackson and Eva Mendes.

Shit title. Shit film.
 
Max Payne (didn't 'turn it off', but went home from the cinema half way through)

Natural Born Killers

I usually watch the opening, then just skip to the part where she is receiving anal or being fecked doggy. I like to know the scenario.
 
I walked out of LOTR after about 5 mins in the cinema with a mate, and not watched another minute of any of the films since. Everyone I have told this story to has told me that I made a mistake.
 
Was there any particular reason why you walked out or are you just a retarded adhd sufferer?
