    Weirdly enough the movies I’ve been to with the most audible walk-outs were all good films:

    Exotica

    Salo

    Schindler’s list

    I think two of them just got too much for people and the other one had them worried they’d wind up on a list.

        @HawlSera oh, yeah but its initial run in Italy was less than a month before it got banned. Same thing happened a few times elsewhere. It had a run in the US. Some countries preemptively banned it.

        In my country it was banned until 1997 which is when I saw it on the big screen, but we didn’t get legal distribution for DVDs until this century.

      I’ve seen Salo but I really wouldn’t call it good. I nearly did walk out, and I sat through Battlefield Earth (although admittedly I was drunk, which helped a lot)

        Salo was tryhard trash IMO, it had even less artistic merit than Serbian Film and that was tryhard trash as well.

          You say that, but supposedly the film has quite the anti fascist leaning that eventually got the director Pier Paolo Pasolini killed by Italian fascists.

        Fair enough. It’s not good if your criteria for “good” includes being enjoyable, that’s for sure.

        I think it’s very good and hope to never see it again.
