[@TheDickCavettShow]

What's your favourite Kris Kristofferson movie?

[@ubet6691]

Come on now! This is right up there with Godard! What’s yours?! Please tell me so I can go and see it! If it’s a bad movie I’ll never trust you again, and I’m pretty sure he’s never been in a good movie. I dare you!

[@RobinSchoutenRS]

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Did you had Sam Peckinpah on your show as well, Dick? If so, please put it up.

Truly: The Genuine Article.

[@pdelaprimm]

Written interviews and autobiography/ biography are wonderful, however nothing can replace the actual in-person interview.

[@brachiator1]

I enjoy watching actors talk about their craft. Cavett does well to give them room.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

Stagecoach is one of my favorite things to watch, Kris, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash all in one

my hero!❤

[@robertbentzel8105]

He was great in any endeavor he tried

[@songbirdinnc]

Kristofferson was such a highly intelligent, thoughtful, genuine person. In the hands of Cavett, who actually listens to people, Kris blooms. Most interviewers assume that they are smarter than their guests. Not easy to do with a Rhodes scholar who holds a degree in literature from Oxford.

[@DustinBlythe]

It's great to see another clip from this interview. Hearing what Kris says about Cimino and knowing how he'd worked up to that kind of starring role I'm sure it hurt that the picture not only died at the box office but it certainly derailed Kris' film career.

[@fabiengerard8142]

Considered as a legendary masterpiece in Europe, anyway. (I do remember very vividly seeing the original editing in a huge old-fashioned movie theater, on its 1981 release, and the same, years before, about 'Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid').

[@manjufrodo]

In 1980, when this interview aired, Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge had parted ways after seven years of marriage.

A genius 👏

[@ronmackinnon9374]

At 3:11, that's 'Heaven's Gate' he's referring to. It had been released only about two weeks before this interview, and was getting bashed by the critics. The studio (United Artists) was already reeling by how much over budget Cimino had gone in making the film, and they soon pulled it from theaters. The following spring, they re-released it in a shortened version, but it still only made back a small fraction of its costs. It was one of the biggest financial fiascos in film history. Over time, though, more and more critics have given it a favorable reappraisal. (Never seen it myself.)

[@pjost6643]

Just watched it first time. Truly a masterpiece

Pat Garett and Billy the Kid

For which Bob Dylan did the soundtrack (he also was given a part in the actual film -- the experience of the film shoot in Mexico would also inspire a later song of his, 'Romance in Durango'). And Kristofferson later did the voiceover in the opening part of the Dylan biopic 'I'm Not There.'

I don't care what the critics say A Star Is Born and Heaven's Gate are two great films. Rogert Ebert liked A Star Is Born but he put down Heaven's Gate.

[@Gannooch]

have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other ones.
