Having seen it recently on ACM (216 min.) it is truly awful. Besides the direction the acting is really terrible, from everyone involved. Cimino is the main culprit but also the producers are to blame, having agreed to his every demand and whim. He should have been taken off and replaced by Norman Jewison (as was the plan).

Not a fan. I think the recent BBC Poll which had this ranked at #9 was a joke. Having said that, it's not even in the worse hundred films I've seen. But i will never watch this again. Tge Soderberg cut possibly, but not the tedious 3+hour cuts.

I think we can safely ignore your opinion since you rated 1/10
Cross of Iron
Schindler's List
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
City of God
Ran
and who knows what else.As for Heaven's Gate, it's rather solid western epic with great cast I watched the 216 minute version on one go. Rated it 7/10. Imo the cast and sets with realistic feel were its biggest strength.

LOL Cross of Iron is the worst WWII movie ever made, its laughable. Shindler's List is nothing but pure propaganda, and you bought it. Not even going to talk about that silly cartoon Crouching Tiger.
In any event, Heaven's Gate for the grand epic it was intended to be stands above all other in its genre as a complete miss and nothing but a monument to Cimino's ego. If you can sit through 216 minutes of this beep then you must not have much else to do, and know little about Westerns. I'm not going to insult you any further, its obvious you don't know what the hell you're talking about, but thanks for researching my page rookie. LOL -

My family has been in the theater business since before the Depression you twit. This movie sucks, and most people share that same opinion. Its only you aggrieved pseudo-intellectuals that think there's any value in this piece of beep

I just finished downloading this piece of crap, and when I have 3 hours and 37 minutes to kill I'll get back to you with a more detailed analysis of why this movie, that killed UA, sucks so bad. -

It appears you have plenty of time to kill considering you've come back to this thread over the course of 2 years
Dont tell me you're innocent. Because it insults my intelligence and makes me very angry. -

For the most part, your taste in classic films is excellent. But I have to call into question how anybody in their right mind could consider the new
Vacation
,
San Andreas
, or especially
Hot Pursuit
as superior to the following films:
Blade Runner
. Ghenghy rated this 4.
2001: A Space Odyssey
. Ghenghy rated this 4.
The Shawshank Redemption
. Ghenghy rated this 2.
Sunset Boulevard
. Ghenghy rated this 4.
The Shining.
Ghenghy rated this 4.
Cabaret
. Ghenghy rated this 2.
Yet, you rated them higher. None of these films are better than the films listed above, and it's not even close.
Hot Pursuit
. Ghenghy rated this 5.
Vacation
(2015). Ghenghy rated this 7.
San Andreas.
Ghenghy rated this 8.
We're the Millers
. Ghenghy rated this 5.
Sunset Boulevard
a 2? Come on, man. You're entitled to your opinion, of course, so if you don't like it, you don't like it. But that's a bit much.

I agree. It was so bad I was actually offended but then somehow I found myself laughing at the suicide at the end. what's almost as bizarre as this movie is the recent revisionist history about it. It seems like certain corners of the internet are now feigning intellectual superiority by exaggerating the all to minor strengths of the movie.
