What are some films you've started watching but never finished for one reason or another? For me, I chose to divide mine into two categories:
Ones I Enjoyed and Will Go Back to Some Day:
The Abyss
WALL·E
The Adventures of Tintin
Elle
My Fair Lady
Ones I Didn't Enjoy and Probably Will Never Return to:
Reds
The English Patient
The Big Short
Hail Mary
Network
What's yours?
I have NO qualms about walking out on a movie. I haven't been going to the theater much, so I have to go back to Arrival (2016). Bored the hell out of me and I didn't like anyone in the cast.
Haven't been renting much, either. House of Gucci (2021) last movie I didn't finish, despite a solid performance by Lady Gaga.
For me not to finish a movie is not uncommon at all, I don't readily recall most instances, so I can't easily make a list.
An old housemate of mine owned the VHS of the movie "Brazil" and would watch it often(it was a favorite of his...) I must have tried to watch it at least a half dozen times and EVERY SINGLE TIME I would fall asleep! I eventually gave up trying...

Bohemian Rhapsody. I was bored after 15 minutes, and stopped watching.

The Scorpion King: too dumb
Avatar 2: pretty but terribly written story and bad acting
Feast 3: perverted and stupid
There are many more but these came to mind.
The Engish Patient was really difficult to get through, but it does get better towards the end.
