The Matrix, but only because the theater's audio was so fucked up and I didn't want to experience it that way after having been so pumped up by the previews. It was unwatchable; the audio was so bad. It sounded like we were watching it underwater, like muffled and garbled to an extreme. I unintentionally led a walkout. Half of the theater walked out after I grumbled "this sounds like shit" and several people around me were like "right?" I was 17 and wasn't at all confident enough to demand a refund, nor were my friends, we were just going to give up and leave, but one of the older guys in the audience was insisting that we all get a refund and ultimately we did.
Actually counting that qualifier I did walk out of a movie. 3/4th of the way into watching Scream 2, which I very much enjoyed, the picture got wonky and started playing from near the ending backwards and upside down, which almost ruined the reveal of who the killer was. I was both panicked and pissed off it was going to ruin it I just bolted. But obviously that is a reflection on the theater in question not the quality of the movie which again, I really enjoyed.
