Incredible soundtrack, amazing cast of stars, and one of the best scripts of all time. "I've been offered a lot for my work, but never everything." This film is the true meaning of a Classic.

Îl revăd cam de trei ori pe an, cu aceeași plăcere ca și cum l-aș vedea prima dată. Mereu am avut o slăbiciune pentru primii patru actori (enumerați mai sus) + pentru James Coburn.
    Între timp au apărut încă două producții, de dată mai recentă, cu același titlu și subiect. Nu. Nu are farmecul acestuia, ce are în componență mulți, mulți actori consacrați, multe numere faine de cascadorie + fondul muzical de excepție.

      Yes, the theme for "Good, Bad, and Ugly" by Ennio Morricone. Both movies are exceptionally good, but my vote for "Best Western" is "Good, Bad, and Ugly" for its great 3 man showdown and the way the tension builds with the music. "Magnificent Seven" is 2nd best western with "Shane" as perhaps 3rd best.

      Fuqua's Magnificent Seven is not exactly a remake of this film as it is another Seven Samurai reimagining.
      (Though Fuqua's casting is magnificent, he does skimp a little on the tone. I feel the gray nature of Seven Samurai was somewhat retained in the original Magnificent Seven, yet quite lost in the new one)

A movie that can be watched again and again, like we watch our favorite piece of painting or sculpture or read our favorite novel.

    Love the way this has been edited, images in sync with character reaction/movement---shooting, looking up, moving left to right & vice versa---in sync with the beats from Bernstein's wonderful iconic theme. Very impressive work. And of course, Steve McQueen gets the final shot with a smile, which alludes to how Yul Brynner got annoyed with McQueen trying to upstage him in every scene. Apparently, years later, they made peace with McQueen apologizing & thanking Brynner for getting him in the movie.

Yule Bryner was THE MAN with that commanding walk/stride. My brother wanted to be Steve McQueen and my parents had to immediately buy him toy but realistic looking guns and rifles. -- and my poor father had to keep getting up in the theatre to replenish our popcorn, candy and Coca Colas. What a great childhood we had -- my brother and I -- and all of the kids in my average middle class neighborhood. We had no responsibilities except having fun, playing outside during the day and board games on weekend nights, sleep overs on Fridays and Saturdays and school during the week. All good kids and parents. They watched out for us all. If there is a God please take me back. I’m completely done with this world in 2022.

    This movie score is extraordinary. It is incredibly inspirational. I play it whenever I need to recharge.

    Фильм про то, как в идеале должны вести себя настоящие мужчины. Фильм о вечной борьбе добра со злом! А музыка! Ессли бы Бернстайн написал только это,то он и тогда вошел бы в историю ,как великий композитор!

    My all time favorite is The Good Bad and Ugly but this is right up there . The cast and score is amazing . This type of movies will never be made again . Lucky we were alive to see them

      Yep ! Thinking back to my childhood and seeing this movie in the theatre with my parents and brother was so exciting and enjoyable. Nobody can compete with these guys today. Wish they were still here.
