Have you ever fallen asleep in a movie theater?

[GreatAmericanZero]

I was wondering if anyone has ever fallen asleep in the movie theater before. I am the lightest sleeper in the world, i cant even fall asleep with the tv on, yet during a showing of "Attack of the Clones" i was fast asleep for most of the movie. All i remember is that when i woke up, C3PO had some awful pun....like his head was ripped off and he said "im heads and shoulders above the rest" or something equally as awful

i guess in defense of the movie i was up for 24hrs in some shitty dollar theater in Rhode Island, but still, its the only time i fell asleep in a movie theater

I fell asleep during The Relic.

[hedges]

I was nodding off while watching the re-make of My Bloody Valentine.

[Jujubees2]

I've nodded off during some of the movies I 've taken my kids to see.

[drjoek]

All the time when we took the kids to movie. Star Wars Harry Potter. Occasionally eyes.droop during adult movies. These fancy new theaters with comfy seats.

[santino]

haha i got all fucked up and went to a midnight showing of Return of the King and fell asleep like halfway through. i blame beer and valium.

When I was working at a movie theater I stopped into The Emperor's New Groove after my shift one day. I was asleep in about 15 minutes. I also fell asleep in 2 Fast 2 Furious, but I was a little tipsy. Luckily I didn't pay to see either of them.

[FezsAssistant]

I myself haven't, but a chorus of snores was happening during Gangs Of New York back in the day. It was a Friday night. I guess people were tired from working all week.

[lleeder]

I fell asleep during Bar 9: The Movie. :flush:

[GreatAmericanZero]

i once was watching a bootleg copy of "Son of the mask" ( i downloaded it! i wanted to see how bad it was )...anyway, it was a bootleg where the guy was recording the screen with his video camera and he fell asleep recording this shitty movie. the camera angled itslef to the ceiling and i heard the guy recording it snore. it was funnier than anything in the actual movie

[djjd]

in the 80's a group of us used to go a art house type cinema to see foreign films or classic films, fell asleep watching dr zhivago, not a big loss i'd seen it before, but it's a long ass film

[kdubya]

Ang Lees Hulk put me to sleep

[IMSlacker]

Once during Chocolat. I think that was the only time.

edit: crap, I forgot. I fell asleep during Analyze This too.

[Foster]

Fell asleep during Enemy of the State and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Pirates because I was up for 36 hours,
Enemy of the State because it sucked

[KnoxHarrington]

I dozed off during The English Patient.

Now that's high up on the list of Worst Best Picture Winners Ever.

[biozombie]

I fell asleep during whichever dumb Star Wars prequel with all the Boba Fett clones or whatever the fuck those guys were, I wasn't really paying attention before I dozed off.

edit: Oh, duh, I'm talking about the same movie GAZ was in his first post.

probably the same one i did. i never attempted a re-watch so i assume i didnt miss much

[suggums]

i was really tired when i went to see Apocalypto and dozed off for a sec early on, even though I really enjoyed the movie and have rewatched it on dvd

[Judge Smails]

I'm too cheap/anal to fall asleep in a movie that I've paid for. I've got to make sure that I get my money's worth and that includes piece of crap children's movies that my kids drag me to. That being said, the only movie I've ever fallen asleep during is Sharkboy and Lava Girl - it was THAT fucking bad.

[hurlmon]

Only time I fell asleep in a theater was during Anacrophobia

i feel the same way...i will NEVER walk out of a movie. but during "attack of the clones" it just happened so naturally i couldnt help it!

[jennysmurf]

It wasn't a movie, but a Broadway show: Fosse. Biggest pile o' crap ever produced.

"old man river, that old man river..."

One year on Black Friday I got dragged to see whatever Harry Potter was out at the time, it sucked and I had worked a full day (I was in retail at the time) so I passed out for an hour and had to be woken up cause I was snoring

knocking Harry Potter is not a way to make friends with me

[Harry_E]

Sorry, I could never get into it

[GreatAmericanZero]

i've never seen a minute of a harry potter movie or read a sentence of a harry potter book

[Foster]

the only reason the Harry Potter books aren't considered Great American Literature is because the bitch that wrote it is British

[Enabler]

I fell asleep during U571. I was passed out 30mins in and slept the whole way through. Never seen it since.

[Gvac]

The closest I ever came was when I saw the first Lord of the Rings.

That movie must have been 17 hours long.

It just dragged on and on and on and on...

[KatPw]

I fell asleep during one of the concert scenes when I saw the Doors movie. It was a late showing and I was very tired.

[Kublakhan61]

I used to go to the movies in the afternoon with the intent of sleeping. I was suffering some severe insomnia and happened to discover that (for some reason) I had no difficulty sleeping at the movie theater. Now if I'm out and have a couple of hours downtime, I'll buy a ticket for something awful and go to sleep.

[Patient zer0]

king kong. all out borefest!

I was out cold 1/2 way through

[Whitey]

Ive never fallen asleep at a movie theater but i have passed out at a drive-in.

[disneyspy]

ive never passed out at a drive in but ive had sex in one

[Hottub]

Since I worked at a theater for years, I can't tell you the number of times I fell asleep.
Either sleeping off a bender in the projection booth, or just being blown by the ticket girl.

Good times.

[cougarjake13]

not that i could remember

[Zenica Times]

Talented Mr Ripley, Play It to the Bone, LOTRIII, shrek II, Star Wars III, and No Reservations. Ripley is a good movie, the others are just turds of movies.

[The Ogre]

I fell asleep sfter getting head during an early show Silence of the Lambs. The weed didn't help either. Theater was fucking empty, and being a dumbshit teenager meant that was a license to turn it into my living room.

Second movie I fell asleep on was Lost in Translation. I was on a date at the end of a 13 hour workday and I just couldn't manage it. No second date.

[sailor]

under siege - after a high school weekend retreat.

the matrix - one of my favorite movies now, but at the time i was completely drunk/tired from and all-day barbecue.

i can fall asleep any time and any place.

[ToiletCrusher]

During the original Borne Identity.

[GreatAmericanZero]

the only reason the Harry Potter books aren't considered Great American Literature is because the bitch that wrote it is British

either way, i have no interest in it

[Yosammity]

I dozed off a few times during Judge Dredd.

My wife went completely out during Sabrina (the remake) and had one of those falling dreams. She jumped up and yelped in the middle of the theater. Good times.

[JohnGacysCrawlSpace]

King Kong and The Lord of the Rings...Peter Jackson sure knows how to suck the life out of an audience.

I've also fallen asleep while driving onthe Garden State parkway.

[FezsAssistant]

I almost fell asleep last night watching the newest Superman movie (on DVR). Holy shit was it bad. I deleted it within 10 minutes of starting it. Thank god I didn't pay to see it in a theatre.
Same thing happened with Star Wars episode III the other night.

[drusilla]

never, but i had one friend who would fall asleep almost every time we went to a movie. didn't even matter what we were seeing or how many people were in our group. she'd just pass out.

[joeyballsack]

Twice.

The first time was while I was on a pass during basic training. I went to see the Adams Family because it was the only thing showing in the area I was at.

The second time was during There Will Be Blood. I went and saw it with my girlfriend and we both ended up dozing off during it.

[paracetamol flanders]

I fell asleep during U571. I was passed out 30mins in and slept the whole way through. Never seen it since.

It suffers from being only 1 quarter the length of Das Boot. That was a full night's rest!

[AngelAmy]

My friend fell asleep during kill bill in the theater
