Starring Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken
Synonymous with excess and failure, Heaven's Gate is an epic western that cost United Artists near $120 million in today's dollars, without recouping a fraction. However, lost in the mythology is the fact that it's neither the worst film of all time nor an unjustly maligned masterpiece: it's simply quite good.
Rating: B+
