…people will still watch the movie the Seven Samurai and be amazed at the quality of the story, plotting and acting. It’s not my favorite move of all time, but I can’t find a flaw it it anywhere.
In my mind it combines high art and entertainment comedy and just a fantastic story about the realities of life.
Due to it’s length you can’t watch it every week, sort of like Avalon Hill’s Civilization it’s best seen maybe twice a year but it’s an event. It would be very hard for me to pick any movie above it, even the Godfather or Casablanca.

American movie goers who have never seen it will recognize the scene above redone by James Colburn in the Magnificent Seven.
Incredible stuff.

I second the motion. Even at our worst it is the best place to be.
