Usually if I'm not into it within 20-30 minutes, I turn it off.

I turned off The Devil's Rejects because I was so disgusted by the violence. I still finished watching the movie a week later, though. I also turned off For a Few Dollars More because I found the plot a little complicated. Other than that, I usually finish all the movies that I start watching.

I turned off Daredevil after Jennifer Garner showed up in leather.
Jk. I can't think of any. If I'm near the end of a movie, I'm in it for the long haul.

Usually, I can tell in 15 minutes or so whether a movie is to my taste or not. One I really tried to make it through was Natural Born Killers. But I quit about halfway through. To quote a famous sailor, "I had all I stands, i can't stands no more"

None that I can recall. I attempt to watch every movie from front to back.

The Irishman after getting halfway through it. I even liked the half I saw, but I thought it was almost over. When I noticed I wasn't even close, I just said fuck it.

I really dont do that. If a movie is that bad I usually just go on my laptop while finishing it.

That is funny, because The Irishman has some of the best pacing of any movie I have ever watched. I watched the entire movie at the cinema and then watched the entire movie again on Netflix 2 weeks later. Did you not know the movie was 3.5 hours long before you watched it?

To quote a famous sailor, "I had all I stands, i can't stands no more" I love that movie but I see a lot of hate for it. I get why people dont like it but I always thought it was genius.

That said, the ending was very good. The Devil's Rejects is easily the best of the 3 and the only one in the series that I like. It is the only movie directed by Rob Zombie that is even remotely good imo.

Recently I got to nearly the halfway point of Scissors (1991), then just skipped to the final twelve minutes.

The only movie I can think of I ever did this with was Hotel Transylvania the first time I saw it. After the second or third toilet humor joke I got annoyed and turned it off. Thankfully, I went back and finished it and came to appreciate it for what it is. Typically though, this is something I never do. Once I’m committed to a film, I finish it no matter how bad.

1900 Novecento
The characters were just so over the top, especially Donald Sutherland's fascist that eventually it just felt like parody and I couldn't handle it anymore. The runtime is pretty long at 317 minutes so after about 3/4s of the way in I gave up. I did eventually finish it but then promptly sold the bluray on eBay.
Royal Tenenbaums - this movie I never finished after about most of its runtime, and after seeing about a 1/4 in of Darjeeling Limited I swore off Wes Anderson as a filmmaker I just dont get, even if he is a fellow Texan.
