Hmm. My personal worst winner has a tie.

The only movie I’ve ever walked out on: Biloxi Blues

The movie I use as the standard for horrible movies: The Perfect Storm

You often hear “Well, it was no Perfect Storm, but....” around here.

We have several, all recommended to us by relatives. We no longer take their suggestions. The Crying Game, Moonstruck, The Witches of Eastwick, The Piano. All from about 20 years ago but that was about when I began to boycott Hollywood and stick with TCM.

“The Last Flight of Noah’s Ark”, with Elliot Gould. One of two I’ve walked out of. Mission Impossible II we Netflixed (it’s a word), but turned it off after about 20 minutes.

You must not have any military experience.
My father-in-law was WWII vet, I'm a VN vet and we used to laugh our butts off watching BB.
Great flick.

I walked out on Hudson Hawk and Ralph Fiennes “The Avengers”....

Mine was "Down and Out in Beverly Hills."

I didn't think The Perfect Storm was that awful, but I'll admit to two significant prejudices in that respect. One is that I lived there, and lived through it and no one who did so will ever forget it. The second is that although she struggled a bit with the working-class Massachusetts accent (who doesn't, except for us natives?) Diane Lane is a gorgeous woman. Clooney's performance was stilted and forced, but I thought Mark Wahlberg (another native) was pretty good.

Utterly dreadful. It's enough that I was rooting for the main characters to just die already, but then periodically it would -- bizarrely -- switch to showing us Karen Allen and a couple of other people being rescued from some random boat that had nothing whatsoever to do with the main plot. I don't think "these unconnected events also took place on Earth at the same time" is a good enough reason to include scenes in a movie. You could get the same effect by taking a movie like 'The Fugitive' or 'The Sixth Sense' and inserting several scenes of a random person having their car break down & getting it towed.
