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.

I assume you mean the remake? The remake sucked harder than anything I've ever seen.

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

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.

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.

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?

Honestly the films are so good that I rarely remember feeling it's length.

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.

You are a bad man and should be ashamed of yourself!! Then again, I get the feeling you're a DC guy...

I know I've slept through a movie, I just don't remember what it is... because I was 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.

+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

I.Just.Couldn't.Finish.It.

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.

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

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.

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.

of course!

But then... I'm a LOTR fan-boi, so I was in heaven.

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.

Did i mention Casablanca?
