A loose remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, The Magnificent Seven is one of the most outright pleasurable westerns ever made, as a group of gunfighters come together to protect a small village from a group of bandits. Steve McQueen, Yul Brenner and Charles Bronson star; Elmer Bernstein's famous musical score is unforgettable.
