None -- I can't recall ever walking out of a theater; if the movie is that bad, I stay to mock it.

I've only left one movie, and it was the original "Alien." It wasn't because it was bad... I just couldn't take the tension. I was watching the movie late at night, and the theater was a real "Big Screen," and there couldn't have been more than about 10 people in the theater. When the cat jumps out of the locker, and Harry Dean Stanton's character buys it, well, that was all she wrote! I had had enough!

That movie's not all that hard to watch on TV, but on a really big screen, in the dark, it was the scariest and most tension filled movie I had ever seen.

LOL!! I had to leave during Alien as well, but for a vey different reason. I was 5 months pregnant at the time, and when that thing burst out of John Hurt's chest, the baby decided to roll. Freaked me OUT! It was about 10 years before I ever saw the end of that movie. Aliens, on the other hand, is one of my favorite movies.

I saw it on a date in High School. Guy two rows in front of us puked when the alien came out of the crewman's stomach. Nice.

Regards,
