* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: The film has received popularity within some European critics circles.
* [[Magnum Opus Dissonance]]: Perhaps the definitive example; it was not only one of the biggest box office flops of all time, but widely considered one of the worst films of all time.

[[Re Cut|Re Cuts]], airings by Z Channel and a 2012 release from [[The Criterion Collection]] [[Vindicated By Video|have made people realise]] how truly ''horrible'' the theatrical cut was.

Of course, one of the producers tried [[Executive Meddling]]. Cimino's response? {{spoiler|"Go fuck yourself."}}
