Years ago the Mrs asked If we could go and watch it so I said 'whatever' what a pile of sanctimonious SHIT. Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw waffling at each other about nothing for far too long, she ends up being terminally ill in the film and I'm sat there in the pictures thinking "oh get on with it and konk out I wanna go home"
Bull shit and Top Gun wasn't much better either feel the need for speed my arse.

Field of Dreams. The couple in front of us got up and walked out after about 3 minutes, and we both admitted afterwards that we wished we had suggested doing the same.
Biggest disappointment was Godfather 3. Packed house in the Ealing ABC, and by the end they were laughing out loud.

I agree it's a shocker. The acting was so wooden as well. Saint Maud that a friend took me to recently was appalling too. Rave reviews but just a nasty little exploitative film about insanity and violence. The first film I actually walked out of it was so bad. Also one of M Night Shymalayan was pretty yawn-provoking. I'd enjoyed The Sixth Sense but this one was soooo boring.

Only two films I ever walked out of were Lost In Translation (possibly the most tedious and pretentious piece of "art" ever created) and an Almodovar film that I forget the name of (total nonsense).

Going back to the OP, I've only seen Love Story once, not when it first came out in 1970, but probably some time in the 70s, so I'm going from memory here...
It was a bit of an outlier, as film-making in the 70s was going in the direction of more edgy films.
Someone described whatever Ali McGraw had as 'old movie disease', where the heroine wastes away but still looks good.
It was a wish fulfilment fantasy portraying a cross-class love in that supposed forum of classlessness, the university (in this case Harvard).
Most of my life I've looked down on romantic dramas, but I have to admit that the Koreans are absolute masters of the form (e.g. Hur Jin-ho's 2007 film 'Happiness'), plus one of the greatest post-war British films 'Room at the Top' is a kind of romantic melodrama, even if it takes a realistic look at British society.

Marley and Me. An exercise for anyone who loves pets in the art of self harming for 2 hours. As someone said, spoiler alert for the sequel, it's called 'Me'! Depressing!

Eyes Wide Shut. No further comment required.
Good call, I actually fell asleep half way through.
Probably in a minority here but I suffered through 'Rambo' as It was loosely called a blockbuster at the time but it was utterly dreadful. I think there were endless further Rambo films made that I had the good fortune to swerve.

'The Bridges of Madison County' (1995) was the worst film I have ever sat through. It was set over one weekend and it felt like I was watching it in real time. I fell asleep twice and the damn thing was still on when I woke up the second time. I have never walked out of the cinema, but I was (ahem) 'asked to leave' on one occasion. I was about 19 (old enough to have more sense) and after a few bevvies,a few mates and I, decided to go and see a Police Academy movie, despite the fact that we had been to see it the night before. We then thought it was hilarious to shout out the punchline, seconds before the actor did. The people sitting around us did not share our sense of amusement, hence our early exit

Really liked Lost In Translation. Fell slightly in love with Scarlet Johansen in that. Loved the filming the whisky tv ad scene.

Loved that film. One man's soup is another man's medicine!!
The first time I watched Muriel's Wedding I thought it was bluddy awful. The next time - no idea why I gave it another chance - something clicked somewhere, and I saw it as genius..!
I would've walked out of Shallow Grave had I not been in the middle, next time I watched it it was still badly thought out bollocks.
I think Danny Boyle is, apart from Trainspotting, pretty overrated.

My brother raved about Lost in Translation, but you are so right, what a load of boring nonsense!
