<p dir="auto">Plan 9 is like Citizen Kane next to these movies. Oh if only Ed Wood had lived long enough to see things like Battlefield Earth being considered much worse than his movies.</p>

<p dir="auto">Drummond 39,<br />
I'm confused (very).<br />
You do realise you posted that list of films in a thread entitled "1001 Movies You Must Avoid Until You Die"?<br />
It seems to me that you posted a list of films that you should see before you die, as they all appear to be classics (apart from Children of Men, which is a turd).</p>

<p dir="auto">Oh, I guess everyone can't like it.<br />
But regarding that cop out, the point of the movie at the end was for there to be some doubt as to whether it actually happened or not. That's why the alien appeared as her father, to instill doubt. Not so much a cop out. It was a vital part of the narrative.<br />
But I get what you're saying you wanted aliens and you didn't get any. That's cool.<br />
I'm a modest man, but then I have much to be modest about.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yep.<br />
An absolute stinking turd.<br />
It was vaguely interesting and then, when it gets to the end. the aliens look like us.  What an utter cop-out.  The director and/or writer should be put up against a wall and shot for such shocking laziness.</p>

<li>Heaven's Gate<br />
Heaven's gate was an expensive flop and most of the critics who bad mouthed it later changed their minds.  In fact, most of the bad reviews were not about the quality of the movie but about the excess of hollywood and a backlash to the new management at UA after Arthur Krim left and started Orion pictures.  Most of these critics also went back when Heaven's Gate came out and decided to change their reviews for The Deer Hunter calling that a horrible film.<br />
The Deer Hunter survived because its initial response was positive.  Heaven's Gate didn't because people only remember their first impressions of the film(which barely got any theater play due to the scathing reviews).  Both films also rewrote history which got a lot of attention at time.<br />
It is far from a bad movie and you are mistaken to place it in this list.  It's a pretentious and excessive piece of cinema, but its still good and enjoyable to any person who appreciates art house films.  Its period detail, cinematography, and musical score are exceptional.<br />
And most of the performances are great in it, especially with that cast: Christopher Walken, Kris Kristofferson, Isabella Huppert, John Hurt, Sam Waterston, Willem Dafoe(his first film), Brad Dourif, Joseph Cotton, Jeff Bridges, Mickey Rourke,etc.<br />
The movie is notorious for ruining Cimino's career(he never recovered) and bankrupting United Artist(which isn't true actually.  UA was owned by Transamerica which was prosperous enough to write off the budget.  The company was sold because MGM offered them a great price, Despite a few hits like Raging Bull, the Bond Film, and That years ROCKY film, none of their movies made profit and UA was down effecting the Transamerica Stock.  While Heaven's Gate publicity for being a flop didn't help the company, its not possible it bankrupted it).<br />
If you're just an average film goer, i probably wouldn't recommend the film.  If you are a cinema Lover, Heaven's Gate should be on a list for movies you must see because its best qualities rise above its faults.<br />
And also since 30 years as passed, people now are more likely to judge the film itself and not how the press it received.</li>
