Any movies with the annoyingly "zany" actors like Adam Sandler, Chris Rock or Martin Lawrence.

Gone with the Wind. Hours of watching two people bicker for no pay-off.

I agree with you about Boyhood.

I found Mason, the main character, to be a very boring, uninteresting person who happened to like photography. I would hate to have to sit next to him on an airplane. When his cute girlfriend left him for an athlete, I was happy for her.

I forgot about that one. I also disliked Captain Phillips because it made that guy out to be some kind of hero instead of a moron who almost got everyone killed.

The only movie I can think of that I feel at odds with hubby about was a movie called "Dark City" that he used to try to watch. It had Kiefer Sutherland and William Hurt, who I normally like a lot, but Kiefer has the most irritating breathless delivery of his dialogue in the movie, I can't even stand to hear it. No idea what the movie is actually about. I can't get far enough in to it to know if I might like it.

This is the opening scene.... I can't get more than 19 seconds in before I had to cut it. I just hate it.

Sutherland has that same delivery in parts of Freeway (a mid-90s early Reese Witherspoon movie).

I loved it.

I think one may have to like/really appreciate Linklater movies and also live in or have affection for Texas.

It's sort of a love letter to Texas.

The only movie I left was Exorcist. At that time I just wasn't able to handle it. Later watched on tv and laughed. I don't go to too many movie theatres. If I watch a movie on netflix or amazon that is bad it is so easy to just turn it off.
I think the only time I ever left was during a kids movie/cartoon that involved cold weather animals (Ice Age ?).

I took a precious itty bitty relative to see it. It wasn't that either of us didn't like the content, it was that the volume was so loud it hurt her little ears.

She charmed the cashier without even trying, and he gave me my money back .

Eh, it was worth it to later be able to see the send up of it on The Carol Burnett Show......a send up that was hilarious.

Made me want to drive the length of the Overseas Highway (which I later did).
