Walked out of desperately seeking Susan. Was on a first date, both of us were bored, went to Dennys instead.
Dated for 4 months, realized we liked each other as friends. I went to his wedding 2 years later.

I walked out of It Follows because I got a text message saying a job interview that was happening ASAP. We went back and saw it again later that day. Aside from that I dont believe I have.

I’ve only walked out of two movies.

1. Conan the Barbarian (2011) - It couldn’t hold my attention so I left.

2. Dune Part One - I’m used to long films, but time slowed down. Checked my watch, saw an hour left, knew it was a two parter, so I tapped out. Finished it at home when it hit streaming.

Dana recounts times he’s walked out of a movie. What have you ever walked out of and why?

A film I haven’t gone back to in a while but with Robert Redford’s recent passing, I need to prioritize giving this a revisit with fresh, and more mature eyes.

The synergy continues. Covered 1982 on the show this month. Still has all the magic it did for me when I saw it as a kid.

The most iconic image in all Spielberg’s filmography? Hard to argue

Having just recently tackled 1991 for the show, it was a nice reminder how special this film was. The first animated feature to earn a Best Picture nomination. Still spellbinding.

The third movie in this week’s CLP release that made my own top 50 list. Chaplin will always be a genius for what he did to push the medium forward.

Hey look!

Another Revised Best Picture winner on the show. Covered it to kick off season two back in January. It’s a perfect film.

The reason I love investigative journalism so much all traces back to this film. Important American cinema.

WITNESS!!!

On my top 50 list I submitted.

For me, the greatest action movie ever made. Oh, and it won the Revised Best Picture for 2015 when I covered it on the show last season. 🤘🏻

One of my all-time favorite movies!

Just too bad it’s in a year with Jaws - which deservedly won the Revised Best Picture award when I covered 1975 on the show over the summer.

I really wanted to walk out of Drop Dead Fred but it was an organised youth group activity so I couldn't really. And The Master I almost walked out of as well because I couldn't understand a damn word anyone was saying - bad sound, mumbling...?
