Some movies are an acquired taste.

Maybe you prefer a good ol' romantic comedy to enjoy on a Friday evening, or perhaps a violent, three-hour-long thriller tickles your pickle. For some, only animated kid flicks will do.

But what happens when you're forced to sit through films you believe to be absolutely... awful?

Earlier this year, author Stephen King revealed that the one and only movie he'd ever walked out on wasTransformers(understandable, Mr. King).

I have walked out of only one movie as an adult: TRANSFORMERS. Would like to know what other movies people have walked out on.

And that got us thinking: what is the one movie which made an 'every day' person (AKA those of us who don't in fact write hellish horror novels for a living) leave before the final credits rolled?

To find out,Mamamiaasked 20 women which movie they had to turn off or leave the cinema for, and why.

Here's what they had to say.

Interview With The Vampire

"I couldn't finishInterview with The Vampire. I was 18 years old, and I was at the cinema with friends. Unfortunately, I just had to get up and leave because it genuinely made me feel physically sick. It's been over 28 years and I still get the disgusting feeling I had so viscerally that day." - Kirsten.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

"I should have walked out ofOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood.I bloody hated every minute of that film. My partner however loved it! I realised afterwards through talking to other couples afterwards that there was a huge gender divide over that film. Most women agreed with me about how terrible it was." - Lucy.

50 Shades of Grey

"I can't explain why, but I have seen parts of every single film from the50 Shadestrilogy. They're all equally terrible. The time I watched50 Shades of Grey, I left halfway through and couldn't believe I had spent money on a ticket! I watched the last two films against my will and only made it halfway in, before I couldn't take it anymore! It's just so cringe and the script is so poorly written." - Sharon.

Wolf Creek

"I walked out of the theatre duringWolf Creekand never watched another horror movie again. I can't stomach violence in films at all.Wolf Creekchanges everything for me, so I supposed it was a good thing I watched a bit of it!. It was simply just too real. John Jarratt did a great job as an actor but I just couldn’t." - Kellie.

Jurassic Park

"I was 10 years old andJurassic Parkterrified me! In one of the first scenes, there is a guy who gets eaten by a T-Rex. After seeing that, I just grabbed my seven-year-old sister and left. She was fine with it and wanted to stay – but I told the staff she was too scared of it and made them give us a refund!" - Orla.

House of a 1000 Corpses

"I have only walked out of a movie once (I am both a cheapskate and can mindlessly watch pretty much anything). The film wasHouse of a 1000 corpsesby Rob Zombie. I am a huge horror nerd and so I was like, 'Yes! Ticket, please!'

"I should have known it was bad when the ticket guy said, 'Are you SURE you want to watch this movie?' And when I said 'Yes', he had this very worried look on his face. I don't know how to put into words how bad this film is. The level of sadistic torture it puts both its characters and the audience through... This BBCreviewer said it best: 'It's quite unlike anything you've ever seen – or will ever want to see again'." - Adrienne.

Melancholia

"I enjoy films that challenge me, but I couldn't endure more than half ofMelancholia, the apocalyptic Lars Von Trier movie with Kirsten Dunst. It's incredibly depressing and nihilistic with no silver linings – just pure misery porn! I was reeling for days afterwards, questioning my own mortality and the purpose of life. Would not recommend it unless you're ready to plunge into a deep mental hole." - Tamara.

Don't Mess With the Zohan

"I couldn't finishDon’t mess with the Zohan. Not only was it absolutely terrible, it wasn’t funny, and the reviews and ads really did not make it clear how not just crass but pathetically vulgar it was. I enjoy a bit of crassness and vulgarity, and I can enjoy a bad movie. But this was revolting." - Rae.

Red Sparrow

"Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton'sRed Sparrowis about a Russian spy in the making. To put it simply, it was completely f**ked. There were torture scenes constantly, and it was torture for the sake of shock value, it didn't add anything to the storyline. After watching someone for the 15th bloody time have their skin grafted, my mum and I'd had enough. It was just sadistic." - Isabella.

Eragon

"I went to seeEragonas a distraction from grief after a good friend died unexpectedly. I’d enjoyed the books, but the movie was so horrific. I walked out halfway through because life really is tragically short." - Kate.

Silence of the Lambs

"I was pregnant at the time I went to watchSilence of the Lambsand the scene where Hannibal was on the floor with the guard's skin over his face, the breathing just freaked me out! I went and sat in the foyer with one of the attendants and chatted for the rest of the movie until my husband came out. I can still hear that sound..." - Kim.

"So frightening I just could not watch it. Anthony Hopkins' character is terrifying. An old film now but still cannot watch it. I now avoid any violent or horror movies." - Deborah.

Cats and Peachtopia

"I took my son for a 'well-being day'. We sawCats and Peachtopia(it's also just calledCats). It's horrific. There was fat shaming and animal cruelty. It is such a truly bizarre film, and we hoped and waited for it to get good. We left traumatised before it ended. I would never recommend it for anyone, let alone children." - Jemma.

The Notebook

"I had to turn offThe Notebook. A friend said it was her favourite movie, but I couldn't sit through more than about 10 minutes. Similarly, a friend said50 shades of Greywas her favourite book, but I could not read it. I literally tried about five times... So I have deliberately avoided the movie!" - Anne

Dune

"I slept through most ofDuneat the cinemas... It was the last day of the school year and it was a 7.30pm viewing BUT it was very boring at the start. And then the climax happened... and then it got boring again." - Jessica.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin

"Captain Corelli's Mandolinis one of my all-time favourite novels and it was completely butchered! I left the cinema halfway through. Penelope Cruz is supposed to be Greek (??) and don’t get me started on the casting of Nicolas Cage... But probably the worst thing was the fact they removed the beautiful storyline of Carlos, who is a character in the book. It was probably because his homosexuality was too complex at the time for Hollywood. Eye roll." - Amie.

Uncut Gems

"I wish I had turned offUncut Gems(AKA, Adam Sandler's attempt for an Oscar grab) sooner. It was awful! The only reason I didn't leave is because I thought my partner was enjoying it, but it turns out he hated it too and thought I was loving it!" - Jessica.

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

"I, along with so many others, couldn't sit throughSalòor the120 Days of Sodomby Pasolini. He was reportedly murdered just prior to filming the end because of its anti-fascist sentiments. Truly gruesome and pornographic in both
