Movies You've paid to 'Sleep' through.
Fordman:
Since we're on a movie kick, what are some of the movies you've paid to see at the theater, but ended up sleeping through them because of lack of story, talent or just un-interesting?
For me, I dont go to the movies very often, but the last one I did pay for and stayed awake was 'The Simpsons Movie'.
Movies I have fallen asleep through:
Top Gun
Star Wars or Star Trek, dont know which one I was dragged to, but its been 20 some odd years ago....
Mission Impossible
She-Devil
The Never Ending Story
Harry Potter something-or-another
Lord of the Rings (this one knocked me out in 6 minutes flat!)(and was a very long nap!)
Again, I dont go to many movies, but if it doesnt 'grab me' in the first 2 minutes, I'm TOAST!

I've only fallen asleep once at the movies, and I blame it on being tired (though the movie sucked anyway). It was during "Sphere".

I've never fallen asleep during films, the mere fact I paid any sort of money is enough to drive me to the end. My Fiance and her daughter have though. A little embarrassing since the kid snores like a chainsaw.
There are, however, a few movies I wish I got my money, my time and my life back on. As forgiving as I am when it comes to watching and rating films, some of them are just downright awful. Thankfully the absolute horror usually wipes my memory within a few weeks. If I struggle to remember, I think I can recall a few.
Hellboy. I can't figure out why this film has any sort of fanbase.
That vampire vs werewolf flick. Unparalleled levels of suckage.
That M. Night Shyamalan film about the colonial type people living in the woods. It was so predictable, I just wanted my money back 1/3 of the way through. And I missed the sneakers.
I can't really think of any others. The horror is usually too much to bear.

I fell asleep the first time I saw Braveheart in the theater. It had nothing to do with the movie's quality. I just had just only slept like 2 hours the night before. I was in high school back then and had friends working at three different theaters. I never paid to see movies.
Hellboy was really good. I wasn't a big fan of Hellboy 2, though the rest of the world seemed to like the second one considerably more.
I'm not entirely sure how predictable
The Village wasn't exactly predictable . . . everything that happened was just so ---smurfing--- unbelievably retarded. Like how could you predict that a seemingly loving father would send his completely blind daughter out into a strange forest to hopefully make it to a world she did not know existed until that moment to hopefully obtain antibiotics (which she's never even heard of, and if I remember correctly the father doesn't even tell her what they're called) without a prescription, after which she will hopefully find someone to just drop this completely helpless girl off in the middle of nowhere so her blind ass can hopefully make her way back through a ---smurfing--- forest to find the Village again. This is all because the dad, who is perfectly healthy and used to live in the normal world and knows perfectly well the way through the forest to and from the Village, promised himself that he'd never go back to that world. It's not that he has sworn off the world entirely . . . he doesn't mind using prescription antibiotics . . . just so long as it's not him that fetches them. Also the antibiotics almost surely will never be forthcoming and his daughter will almost surely get lost and starve to death trying to get them. Also if this blind girl miraculously manages to make it to civilization alive it will almost certainly be law enforcement that returns to the Village rather than the girl. Yeah . . . I can't say the movie was entirely predictable. Every time I thought it couldn't possibly get any stupider, I was immediately amazed at how wrong I had been. For example the girl goes through the forest, illegally obtains the correct medicine (for which, iirc, she didn't even know the name), gets a ride back to the middle of nowhere, makes her way a very long way back through a forest with no trail whatsoever and finds the Village, without alerting any law enforcement. Also she is completely blind. Too stupid for words.
RayB:
Star Wars episode 1. Yeah.
I WISH I fell asleep during Sphere. Oh man. What an ending.
I made out through half of Spaced Invaders, (what a turd that was) and then we left cuz there's only so much sucking face you can do at a bad movie.
