I can't believe I've never seen this movie before! But I watched it last night and I have to say...Yul Brenner....sexiest man who ever lived! Even as a crazed cowboy robot in Westworld he still had it...even as a puffy pants wearing king of siam...he still had it! Of course...Steve McQueen...no slacker either...but I bet Steve couldn't wear puffy pants like Yul!

Not sure about Yul, I think he is gone. But Steve McQueen has been gone a long time. Yul Died 1985, Steve 1980

And some of the best movie music too. Based on the Seven Samurai.
I can remember we waited in line for hours to see it when I was a kid. We didn't get in the first show.
Probably 1960.
Robert Vaughn, James Coburn
Charles Bronson (dead)
can't think of the other two right now
Eli Wallach, Horst Buckholz - gotta Google to see if I'm right.
Rich
ok - Eli Wallach was the bandit, stupid me. No. 7 was Brad Dexter. Somehow I don't think there's a star with his name in Hollywierd.
Vaughn and Wallach are the only two still living.

It's been a loong time since I've seen The Magnificent Seven. It is one of thoughs movies that holds your attention from end to end. I always liked Eli Wallach. His character in The Good The Bad and The Ugly jumps to mind but the character he played in a movie called Tough Guys with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas still strikes me as one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Seven Samurai is much better, but in black and white. The story is much fuller in the original, espically with the bandits attacking the town. If you like Old movies, its one everyone should watch at least once. But ya, its subtitled, though im sure you can rent a dub version. Both are good movies but i like the samurai version much better.

my all time fave is probably the guns of navarone...closely followed by das boat. Of course the favorites really depend on the day and my mood. But those two are ones that I own and and I've watched a lot and am still not sick of seeing.

Yul Brenner! Hubba, hubba, hubba!
I got to see him in Portland at one of the "King & I" plays he did. He was getting along in age & had already been diagnosed with lung cancer so he didn't move quite as well as his earlier days, but it was still great.
I'm not one for alot of the older movies, but some of the ones you all are bringing up are fantastic. One of the best, IMHO, is The Wild Bunch. (but I'm partial to it cause a great Uncle of mine was in it!)

I met Yul Brenner way back in the late fifties...he was Wyatt Earp. That was back when he had hair.......I would say...probably 1957-58?

Terry - Waaay back in junior high, I was in a club which, among other things, showed movies after school. I was the projectionist the week we showed The Bridge on the River Kwai. Saw it six times in five days!
I think I'd have Bridge and Das Boat in my all-time top ten.
Quite a segue we got here - Das Boat to "Wuv....Twoo Wuv..."
