I have seen a lot of movies in my day. I actually enjoy watching crappy movies, especially Peplum and bad Sword-and-Sorcery flicks. Therefore, I have a pretty high tolerance for crap, and indeed can even really enjoy crap. Typically, a movie cna never put me to sleep, no matter how tired I am; because I want to see what happens next.

However, there are a few rare exceptions of cinematic ineptitude that have even caused me to journey off into the realm of the sandman. I can actually count the number of times this has happened to me on a single hand. They are:

Titanic I fell asleep when the ship was sinking. In fairness, it was the second time I had been dragged to this flick by female friends. Not even looking forward to the guy bouncing off the propeller could keep me awake for a second viewing. Therefore, I'm not sure this should really count, since it was a repeated viewing that I really wasn't thrilled to see again anyway.

Nacho Libre- Jack Black stars in this Theatre of the Absurd movie about a priest who becomes a luchadore to save a small mexican town. This movie should have been epic. Instead, I fell asleep about half-way in. I guess I wasn;t the target audience for Jack Black's mugging sort of humor.

The Specialist- Sly Stallone and Sharon Stone are in this flick. Sly is a bomb maker who is being set-up by a bad guy, and must use all his wits and skills to survive. Typically, this is right up my alley. I even went and saw this in the theatre when it first came out. I fell asleep in the theatre. All I remembe ris an explosive tea-cup. I sort of want to track this movie down and watch it again....but I can't shake the feeling that I have better things to do with my time.

Starcrash- A Star Wars rip-off made in Italy. Stars Caroline Munro and Marjoe Gartner, which is usually enough to keep me interested. However, this flick is like Ny-quil without the cold reflief benefits. It has put me to sleep not once.... but twice! I have a feeling if I watched it again; it would put me to sleep everytime I sat down to watch it. I'm not sure if it is the loving long shots of bad special effects, cliched and boring dialogue, non-acting acting, or the lack of any intersting story or characters; but something about this flick just causes me to lose consciousness. Perhaps it is the bodies natural defense mechanism to this crap?

So, how about you, what are some movies that have put you to sleep over the years?

Star Trek the Motion Picture: It is difficult for me to stay awake through this one.

Oddly enough, I got sleepy about halfway through The Bourne Legacy. Just wasn't doing it for me.

Wow, I just had to make my first ever off topic post here and tell you this was the most entertaining movie I saw all year. And I watched a lot of movies this year.

For example, the dungeon siege movie with jason statham. That one really sucked.

Dances With Wolves
I can't believe I saw the whole thing, it was like an endless native american sympathizing vomitfest. I used to think costner was cool, man.

I'm afraid to know which other movies you saw this year.

Some big ones that put me to sleep in the middle of them.
Avengers.
Avatar
Captain America (ok I actually went upstairs to surf the computer)

Pillow Talk: As my Film Proff said "IT is literally a movie about nothing"
I also find that SYFY movies are good to take a nap against.

Most black and white films, I need my movie experience in glorious extra-color.

This is not to say that I dislike black and white films, they're just so soothing to watch.

That being said, I have only fallen asleep in a theatre twice, and it was for the second and third Matrix films. The second film I just found boring, (I woke up for the high way action scene, and that was it). And the third Matrix film caught me falling asleep throughout the film, and I missed pieces of the final fight scene. To be fair to that film though I had been up for 24 hours (and this was when I was still not really able to do much to stay awake).

Though on the other hand, I was under similar conditions for the third LoTR film and I didn't fall asleep at all during that.

Flight. Save yourselves.

End of Evangelion was the exact opposite; I struggled to sleep that night on account of being so disturbed.

Meet the Parents, on the other hand, was snooze fodder.

'Earth vs The Flying Saucers'

This one got me too. Somewhere in the twenty minute sequence of taking a shuttle over to the Enterprise.

2001 is also boring as hell.

I don't care how many awards it won.

Oh, my poor dear, someone dropped you as a child, didn't they?

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I woke up a few times but went to sleep shortly after.

The grudge, the only movie that made me fall asleep.

LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring. I don't fall asleep during a movie very often, but this one actually put me to sleep in theaters.

I like it now though, but at the time I didn't know anything about the story. I'd say it's a pretty damn boring movie if you aren't familiar with the LOTR beforehand.

I fell asleep during "The Grey", but that was more from sheer exhaustion due to family...complications that left me taking care of a family member's house, making multiple hour long trips to the hospital the family member was at, while working and maintaining my own life. I did wake up before the first dude became dog-chow though.

Other than that, I'm able to fall asleep during any movie I've seen already.

Anything with Meryl Streep, the worst being Out of Africa. I don't think I made it 10 minutes into that one.

The only movie that's ever put me to sleep was Clash of the Titans. Although I attribute that to me being really tired when I watched it.

Ohh, Did i mention The Graduate?
boring as hell up until the girl found out the guy slept with her mother, The wedding scene was also awesome.

The remake of Total Recall. I fell asleep during about the middle 50% of it, and so had no idea what the significance of the end was, if any. And this is from someone who stayed awake through Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I also cannot sit through David Lynche's Dune. That damned whispered voice over does it to me every time.

I'm pretty sure anything by Adam Sandler, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer would be worse.

Horton Hears a Who - Took my daughter to see this after having been awake for around 36hours - I had a great sleep, but she said I snored loudly at times... I gotta admit I struggle with the film now, I reckon my brain has made an association between this film and sleep now as it is quite enjoyable, the little I've seen of it anyways...

Little Nicky? Waterboy? Happy Gilmore? Billy Madison? These were awesome. Now "Don't mess with the Zohan" was one of the biggest turds in Hollywood. I don't even know who the other two guys are, and as such, they probably don't matter at all.

Actually that's a bit of an unfair comparison as a gakky comedy is a very different experience to a gakky action movie.

My friend roped me into going to see the first LOTR movie. I fell asleep about a third in.

I know a lot of people really love that franchise, but good lord is it plodding. Also, did they really need to be, like, 19 hours each?

Wait...I'm confused: you brought up Adam Sandler after we were discussing Clash of the Titans...are you saying your comparison ends up being unfair? I'm just responding to the names you dropped. I assume you must be changing your mind, otherwise your post...equals a division by zero.

No I still hate Adam Sandler films, I just sort of had a realization that I was comparing rotten oranges and rotten apples.

Seeing the first Harry Potter for the millionth time.

I started to nod off during The Avengers I am ashamed to say.

It didn't help that I had been driving for 9hrs previously.

+1 to this. For the entire trilogy. Saw each of them during daylight awake hours, had double espresso beforehand. Still nodded off about 40 minutes in and woke up during the credits.
King Kong. Peter Jackson's version. Boring as all feth. Nothing. Happens. For. Over. Two. Hours.
Solaris. The remake. Several friends also fell asleep to it. It now has the name "Solarizzzzzzzzz" as a result.

I try not to watch movies with Brad Pitt, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrel, Ricky Gervais and a couple of other actors. So I can say I've not fallen asleep during them - but I feel my life is richer for not having ever sat through them.

I wish I could sleep during gakky comedies, but my body likes torturing me too much, so for that reason I refuse to see any movie with Will Ferrel in it.

I do tend to pass out during romances though. Pride and Prejudice is the greatest sleep aid known to man. Titanic is up there. Meet Joe Black has it's moments but bloody hell.

The Last Airbender

Yeah, Ricky Gervais has done some amazing work (such as The Office) but most of the movies he's been in are usually bad or mediocre.

The BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It's FOUR AND A HALF HOURS LONG.

Well look at the source material, there's only so much you can do with that. I actually tried to read the original, my ex asked me to do it for her birthday or some BS, I stopped about halfway through because I fell asleep reading and lost my page. In a normal, sane book for humans you can find your page easily because there's a progression to the story. Not Austin's work, it's the same conversation, in the same scene, repeated to judgement day. The book is clearly a work of witchcraft and I'm happy to report I burned the copy I had post haste for the good of us all.

I have watched part of one episode of the office (UK) - the US version was even worse - and it reminded me way too much of my workdays.
I had a boss like that (Ricky Gervais' character). He, too, thought he was grud's gift to comedy. Also, like Ricky, he wasn't.
I find him to be as tedious as any the other "actors" I mentioned - regardless of telly show or movie.

The Fountain, couldn't figure out what was going on, mind started to wander, next thing i knew it was morning and had drooled on my shirt. You know you've had good sleep when you drool.

The 2nd LOTR I did doze off, but i was up for a day and a half.

The Fountain,

I really, really hate this pretensious piece of cfrap that basically boils down to a simplistic Disney formula of circle of life all dressed up with no place to go. However, actively hating a movie makes me stay awake through the movie.

I could also easily see how someone could fall asleep during Solaris because it moves like molasses in January uphill, but I liked the subtext of the film and it kept me watching. Also, I just couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen, and it kept me in a state of tension through the entire thing. That is not something you would normally hear abut this flick.

To date the only movie I have ever fallen asleep to is Ang Lee's 'HULK'.

I tried to watch it the first time and I fell asleep roughly half an hour in. A few months later I tried again to watch it with a tin of Red Bull and some Pro Plus.

Safe to say I have still not seen this movie in it's entireity and I probably never will.

A few tidbits on falling to sleep during movies. Every night me and the missus turn on an episode of MST3K and fall asleep to it. So we literally fall asleep to a movie every night. I also fall asleep when I watch Star Wars IV, not because I don't love it, but because it always makes me feel warm and comfy on the inside. It's relaxing.
When me and my buddy went to watch LOTR 2 we had both been awake for over 24 hours and we spent the entire movie elbowing each other so we wouldn't fall asleep. Love the movie but it is long and we were tired
Only bad movie I remember falling asleep to at a theater was Star Wars II. I did not learn my lesson from Episode I so I went to go see the movie by myself knowing full well that a group of my friends were going to see the very next show and I was going to join them. So I watched that wreck twice in a row. Went to sleep before the caterpillar assassins showed up and only woke up for the big fight scene at the end.

M. Night Shamalan(sp?) movies.

I actually quite liked the remake of Clash of the Titans...Besides, it's got to be better than the stop-motion godawful original, right?

Oh, now I think of it, Bridge to Terebithia. I was about 9 at the time and I hated it. How come the cute cloudcuckoolander Lesley dies whilst that irritating little turd that is Jesse's sister gets a happy ending?

Also, 9/11 from what I saw of it was pretentious crap.

Bridge to Terebithia taught me a valuable lesson, the good get nothing but a sad end, and little sisters will always get more attention.

Also, for me, and guys will troll me I'm sure, but Apocalypse Now! has put me to sleep on certain nights.

To be fair though, I can and still do watch the movie the whole way through without sleeping, just if i get a case of insomnia, it has an oddly soothing aspect to it, that I find makes me able to sleep again.

Although I loved that movie, it is definitely not an easy film to watch it is very slow paced but very rewarding in terms of visuals, music and story.

You...you aren't serious, are you? The remake had no story, insulted the original (the Bubo the Owl scene), and none of the characters had any personality. You couldn't care less about any of them. Back in the old one, you had PENGUIN from BATMAN playing the father-figure to Perseus, you were dismayed when his best friend died, and he ended up with the girl he was supposed to rescue in his quest. Why quest to save the girl you aren't planning on marrying? Stupid, stupid remake. The creators should have been burned alive.

Any Movie I really want to watch when I'm not at a movie Theater.

Godzilla vs Monster X and that one crappy Bloom County movie that only had Opus and no other characters.

2001. Also Solaris. I'm yawning just posting this.

sunshine is one of the worst , most boring films ever created, awful cliched story, terrible visuals, and very poor acting.

I LIKED Sunshine...

In fact I thought it was awesome.

Also, Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. Even the obligitary hood ornament hotties were dull, and most of them weren't even Japanese. The main girl was annoying (and also not the slightest bit Japanese) the car scenes were cliched, in fact the best bit in the entire film is when the protagonist walks into the classroom filled with cute Japanese schoolgirls and gets chastised for not taking off his shoes. And if I wanted cute Japanese girls in sailor suits, I don't have to watch through a dull movie to see them.

Ugh.

Ironically, the first time i watched godfather 1 the whole way through without sleeping was to watch some, pause after a bit, do something else, it up after a little bit..so i watched the whole movie in 4 or 5 segments, before i was able to watch in one go.

Godfather. Its a recipe for me for sleep. I get 1/3 of the way there and I fall asleep.

In a normal, sane book for humans you can find your page easily because there's a progression to the story. Not Austin's work, it's the same conversation, in the same scene, repeated to judgement day. The book is clearly a work of witchcraft and I'm happy to report I burned the copy I had post haste for the good of us all.

Coming from someone whom actually practices witchcraft and whos girlfriend is a witch, trust me its worse than even the darkest most evil of all spells

As for me-any romances. I have this weird abilitie where by i can just predict the plot and see the ending coming a few horizons off. This invetably earns me the hatred of

Of...? Come on man, the suspense is killing me.

The Constant Gardener.

I fell asleep during Men in Black 2 at the cinema. Either that, or my brain shut itself down to prevent permanent damage.

That's the one! It was either fall asleep or commit suicide.

I mean, god damn. Who on earth thought that was a good idea?

Women.

Brave male literary warriors have salvaged Jane Austin's work from the depths of being a literary form of torture though.

Spoiler:

Unfortunately, it's not quite as good as the title would make it seem, however, I will still take it over the original any day.

Sorry this is just killing me

Chick flicks. The Devil Wears Prada made me want to commit mass homicide via spork.
Most romantic comedies. Frazzled sitting on sofa with the Dog Pack quietly muttering "everyone die. snipers where are you?" has proven harmful to the Wife's enjoyment of them.
Captain America.

Oh yea, and she was the one that had wanted to see it. My rage at having wasted a $1 at Redbox was such that it sustained me until I was able to stagger away with wiener dog and rum and surf the web.

My idea of a good romantic comedy is 300.

Showgirls

Fried Green Tomatos

I know I'm prolly committing heresy... Moulin Rouge!

Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind.

Watchmen - it would've put me to sleep if I hadn't been scarred at the cinema by the amount of naked blue man on show...on a REALLY big screen...shudder...

I think I got through the first 30 minutes before shutting it off on the TV, too boring.

Frazz, go watch 'Something About Mary'. Romantic comedy that has a sniper try to kill Ben Stiller at the end of the movie.

Still can't fathom your hatred of Cap and, if memory serves, The Avengers....

I made it 15 minutes into Paranormal Activity and turned it off.

It should be called Paranormal Inactivity because nothing ever fething happens in the movie.

The Fountain,

I really, really hate this pretensious piece of cfrap that basically boils down to a simplistic Disney formula of circle of life all dressed up with no place to go. However, actively hating a movie makes me stay awake through the movie.

We're not going to get along, are we?

Not sure if it counts because I was on a plane and tired but Green Lantern. All I remember about the end was some tentacles and possibly a villain, other than that I am blank!

Paranormal activity........ I FORCED myself to watch it thinking nievly "something good is going to happen soon"

To this day i fail to see how it can be considerd scary

The carry on films..... Dear sweet Lilith why??? WHY????

Thomas the tank-engine...... the less said the better

Many of these modern so called horrors that over use CGI and special effects to the point it becomes beyond rediculous

House of the dead.............. Just plain terrible

and worst of all was Autumn-there was no excuse for that-a zombie movie where noone got munched.

Attack of the Clones.

Other films I have fallen asleep watching at the cinema

Underworld
Kill Bill Vol 1
Harry Potter (the one with the spiders - whichever that was)

Although, these probably had more to do with going to the cinema at 10 pm...having been at work since 6am.

Still never seen all of kill bill. And the 2nd Kill Bill - not at all.

I'm also avoiding Apocalypse Now and Platoon. I've seen them both and would rather watch almost anything else...Bar Monarch of the Glen. There was never a reason for that.

My wife fell asleep watching Ultramarines: The Movie. It didn't send me to sleep; I just thought it was crap.

A movie called 'triangle'? It takes place on a ship with a masked murderer and has a time travel plot?

It was fairly interesting but i was on a comedown and a smidge hungover.

Oddly and somewhat coincidentally, in the same scenario i actually sat through the entirety of 'Ghost ship', what a bland film.

That Terry Gilliam film Baron von Munchausen or something put me to sleep. Would wake intermittently to find something else bizarre was going on.

There have been many times where i have started watching a film stone drunk and not recalled any of the details but does that count?
