I don't think I've ever walked out of a movie, but I have definitely struggled through quite a few. One was "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain", which was the most god-awful piece of shite I think I've ever seen in film history. I stayed during that one as I was told to kill two hours until my father came to pick me up (this was when I was young and drivers licenseless).
The other was "Boxing Helena", which I saw around the time that "Twin Peaks" was on TV. I thought, "hey, Sherilyn Fenn is in it, and DL's daughter directed it, how bad can it be?" Needless to say, two hours or so later and I had a rather definitive answer to that very question.
I have walked out on DVDs many times. My line has always been "And on that note, I take my exit." The ones I can remember doing this for off the top of my head were "Wing Commander" (10 minutes into it) and "Little Nicky" (5 minutes into it).
And on a completely unrelated tangent, the one film it took the most for me to struggle through was "Requiem for a Dream." Beautiful film, well-acted, directed, and written, but damn it was an emotional heartbreaker.
