| 16. The musical soundtrack of the Magnificent Seven is one of the greatest ever written |

Edited on Mon Dec-24-07 06:47 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
It has so much elan and feeling that it alone made me love this movie. I would also argue that Dances With Wolves, which has another all-time great soundtrack is one of the great westerns of all time. I loved Tombstone, but I liked Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp even more, because I felt it was more realistic and the Doc Holiday role was superb and stole the movie.
But I voted for The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. It is an amazing screenplay with a wonderful plotline and superb acting and directing and it's my favorite Western of them all (with another great musical score).
