Top Ten "So Bad It's Good" Movies made since 1970 (this will be a feature of mine. I love bad movies)

27. Another one.

"Heaven's Gate" by Michael Cimino. Set during the Johnson County War
in 1890 Wyoming it was originally 3h 39min long. After it's disastrous
opening it was re-edited to 149 mins then later back to 228 mins. It took
so long to shoot that John Hurt left the production and made "The
Elephant Man" then came back to shoot more scenes for this. What I
remember of it was long and dull. Indoor scenes were so dark and hazy
it was hard to tell what was going on Estimated cost was $40,000,000
and U.S. - Canada gross receipts were less than $3.9 mil. Full disclosure:
I cheated a bit on this using IMDb trivia but remember trying watch it and
giving up.
