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.

I feel Ennio Morricone may disagree, many westerns scores, and you know them all.

[@garyfranson1353]

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.

[@Galantski]

If Elmer Bernstein had never written another note, his place in movie history would be secure with this score. This ranks with the best film themes of any genre, and is possibly the greatest one for a Western, though it has some strong competition.

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.

Such a great tune, this was my late fathers favourite film, I remember watching it sitting on his knee when I was about 5. I cry every time I hear the tune. RIP dad and all the fine actors in the film. And also Elmer for giving us this masterpiece.

[@knowledgetracker]

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Magnificent movie with a magnificent theme!

[@stevenklein3195]

Never!

[@a.walters123]

I don’t think people can appreciate the sheer musical genius it rewires to write a theme song like this.

[@DianeNewman-ur2dw]

When I heard the san antonio symphony would be playing this I immediately purchased a ticket only for that reason & it was worth every penny! Nothing like hearing a fantastic orchestra perform it live!

[@lilybond6485]

I saw this in the theatre when I was 8 yrs old. I fell in love with Horst Buchholz at 8 yrs old. 🥰 My mother fell in love with Brad Dexter’s eyes.🥰I remember her saying how beautiful they were while watching 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.

[@levandeur3574]

Horst's acting and charisma impressed me much. He and Yul are treasure troves of this brilliant remake.

I do not remember having seen this movie when I was a child - but we used to watch western movies with my Dad on Saturday evenings. Sure he had watched this, too. Yesterday, the remake was shown on TV. But it did not get me, so I left it after a while. Today, I searched for the original and found this short video in YT - and I love it! What a difference!

[@fictionfactory7164]

Fantastic movie, fantastic theme tune with arguably the best group of Hollywood stars on screen together at any one time. Only Clint, the great man himself was missing.

[@luisasoledadalvarezgomez8655]

What a great film! Unfortunately, the latest news is the death of Robert Vaughn, the last of The Magnificent Seven. God bless him. RIP

One of the greatest and most watchable movies ever made. An absolute classic on every level. Have watched it over 25 times.

[@AmericanHistoryFigures]

Every time I watch this it makes me tear up. I love this movie. My dad had this big library of movies on laserdisc when I was a kid. I found this one in there, grew up watching it and I watched it...well at least seven times!

[@pepperwilliams4428]

I'm 72 and I've watched this movie almost every single year since it came out (so at least 50 years)......and it's still as good as ever. The casting was brilliant! And of course, EB score will still still sound EPIC 100 years from now!

The Magnificent Seven- a true Western Classic.

Always loved this movie and its score. The fact that Oscar Bernstein failed to win the Oscar for his music in this movie is a crime.

[@drewkreegel557]

These were the stars I watched growing up in the 60s. As little boys we saw them as icons of masculinity, courage and kindness. Most of the current actors are movie midgets in comparison.

[@JeffreyTappan-bb8rr]

These are/were real men

[@garyfranson1353]

Great way to put it that current actors are midgets in comparison to Brynner, McQueen, et. al.

[@karinnindel8547]

I saw this picture when I was very young and to me it was just another picture, just another good western. I did not realize that it was a classic. Now I do and it is good to recognize so. it means I have matured. I now can appreciate how good of a film it is. It s values and its message as well as how it was made. I am glad.

[@dannyhumberstone9407]

Eli Wallach as bad guy Calvera. Such a brilliant actor. Best quote of the movie (and there were many), Calvera dying to Chris. "You came back for a place like this. Why? A man like you. Why?" genius. Best western movie a musical score ever.

[@michelbonjean9849]

Magnificent. That's the word. Thank you Mr John Sturges and Mr Elmer Bernstein.

Robert Vaughn walked past me in front of the nice old inn in Stockbridge, MA, many years ago. Never thought of the questions I could or should have asked him about this classic I saw in the theater during the first week it hit the screens nationwide 64 years ago (when I was 15).
