The Magnificent Seven (1960)

As good or better than the original
Yes, it is a remake of a Japanese classic and, while I generally abhor
remakes, this one is just as good as the original. It is a classic that
does not wear with age. Whenever you need to get uplifted, this is a
film that can do it.
What are you looking for? You want to see the good
guys win - they do. You want to see someone realize that his roots are
good and return to them - he does. You want to see how love can change
a man - OK, so there's fantasy here, too. You want action - plenty. You
want sacrifice for the others - yes, that's the whole point. Honor,
bravery, love, sacrifice, restoration of pride, and action are all
included at no additional cost. This is a timeless film that will be
enjoyed long after we are gone and forgotten. It made Sunday afternoon
an enjoyable time.
As an additional note, it is the best example of director John Sturges' career.
