Heaven's Gate (film)/YMMV

The film

 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The film has received popularity within some European critics circles.
 * Took the Bad Film Seriously: The director, the cast, and everyone.
 * Vindicated By Video: After VHS and DVD releases, the film has acquired a bit of a cult following and is seeing a margin of critical revision postulating that it isn't really that bad.
 * WTH Casting Agency: This was the producers' initial response to Cimino wanting to cast French actress Isabelle Huppert as the female (American) lead. Few people would argue that Huppert is in any way a bad actress, but her role in this film is probably the one that divides critics the most; in particular, the producers and many critics shared the opinion that her dialogue is fairly incomprehensible at times. Of course, one of the producers tried Executive Meddling. Cimino's response?
