When Movies Were Good: The Magnificent Seven



It did not win any Oscars or Golden Globes back in the day, but it is a film that has held up almost sixty five years later with solid performances and a kick ass score and cinematography. 

Kurasawa's Seven Samurai was the basis of The Magnificent Seven. The film did get the praise that mattered most: 
When John Sturges met Akira Kurosawa, Kurosawa told him that he loved "The Magnificent Seven" (1960), which was a remake of Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" (1954). Sturges always maintained that this was the single proudest moment of his life. Kurosawa was so impressed, in fact, that he sent the American director a ceremonial sword as a gift.
