Spectacular gun battles, epic-sized heroes and an all-star cast that includes Academy Award(r) winners Yul Brynner* and James Coburn**, together with Steve McQueen, Eli Wallach and Charles Bronson, make The Magnificent Seven a legend among westerns. Spawning three sequels and a successful television series, and featuring Elmer Bernstein's Oscar(r)-nominated*** score, thisstunning remake of The Seven Samurai is "a hard-pounding adventure" (Newsweek) and "an enduringly popular" (Leonard Maltin) cinematic classic. Merciless Calvera (Wallach) and his band of ruthless outlaws are terrorizing a poor Mexican village, and even the bravest lawmen can't stop them. Desperate, the locals hire Chris Adams (Brynner) and six other gunfighters to defend them. With time running out before Calvera's next raid, the heroic seven must prepare the villagers for battle and help them find the courage to take back their town or die trying!

Summary: Definetly in my Top 10
Comment: This is the movie that made me fall in love with Westerns. I must have seen it over a dozen times, but I still enjoy it. It's easily forgotten that this was a mold-breaking movie in its day and it paved the way for Sergio Leone. Roy Rogers and Gene Autry could never gain membership in the Seven. For that matter, this club would probably reject every John Wayne character that preceded the film. (However, either J. B. Brooks or Rooster Cogburn could have made this the Magnificent Eight.)
The Special Edition DVD includes a new making of documentary with some interesting insights into the chemistry that worked to make this ensemble movie great. A trivia question: How many times does Yul Brynner take off his hat in the movie?

Summary: By far the best western I have ever seen!!
Comment: This movie is without a doubt the best western ever made, actors are the best. They just do not make movies like they use to! How unfortunate, this has no nasty language, sex or anything else but the teachings of what it reflects. Frankly, I have watched this more than 10 times and every time it has something else to reflect. A must for anyone's collection of excellent movies.

Summary: "MAGNIFICENT" IS JUST ONE OF THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE POSSIBLY ONE OF THE GREATEST WESTERNS, OF ALL TIME.
Comment: This movie is literally the beginning of Charles Bronson, James Coburn, and Steve McQueen's superstardom. This movie is to them, as "A Fistful Of Dollars" is to Clint Eastwood. It wasn't until I saw the special feature, on the making of "The Magnificent Seven", is when I rediscovered this movie all over again. The history and making of the movie is just as fascinating as the movie itself. Personally, I feel this movie contains Charles Bronson's greatest performance. The relationship, that he has with the three young boys, explaining to them the difference between what real courage and real responsibility that a man displays, in order, to be, a father, to his children and finally Bronson displaying toughness and tenderness, all at the same time, in a extremely moving scene, that actually can bring one to tears...A very rare Charles Bronson moment. This movie has that great theme song, that stands the test of time, plus an exceptional music score, along with powerful directing, by John Sturges. That old expression, "They don't make them like this anymore", definitely apply to "The Magnificent Seven".
