One of the greatest movies ever made. An all-star cast and fantastic acting and action. Sadly most of the actors are gone now, but they definitely left a mark.

[ianbatkin]

The knife thowing scene is arguably one of the greatest in any Western.

[TSUTENKAKU]

These were the some of the greatest actors during the 60s ever produced, period.

[georgesealy]

Eli Wallach was perfect in this role. When I saw this movie the first time, many many years ago, I didn't like him very much, he played his part so well. It was only much, much later I realized who he was.

[davidgiles]

yul brenner was a man's man. He was perfect in West World, the king and I, and other movies. He never played a Weak character. He always played very strong persons.

[normanacree]

Wallach was incredible in about everything he appeared in.

[chrisgonz]

For me personally the best western movie ever

[paulbfields]

Eli, he’s the real star. Tremendous acting.

I saw this in the movies. Never forgot this scene with James Coburn. Went home and started practicing throwing kitchen knives at the trees in my woods. They don't make them like James Coburn anymore.
Our man Flint was a favorite of mine too. He was a student of Bruce Lee.

[davidward]

I love Coburns economy of movement here. Total focus. No wasted gestures or posturing. Preternatural calm. Which continues, when, after killing the braggart he knows immediately that he had to move on. Killing a man with a gun who was challenging you in the west is one thing. Being a killer with a knife is just too weird for regular ol Joe Cowpoke to deal with.

[whalecove]

What a scene, what a movie. Coburn's cool as the other side of the pillow. 'We deal in lead, friend'.

[wakeupuk]

Not enough praise, respect and admiration is given to Eli Wallach as the 'baddy' considering he had so so many actors playing against him, but now much older and watching the film again, he did really well to be the main protagonist in the film. He should have got an Oscar for that part back then.

[sirblobnart]

This film had more meaning upon characters and guns than any other films I’ve seen. Such a damn fine film.

[connywetzel]

Der besster Klassiker. Habe schon als Kind mit meine Eltern angeschaut. Jetzt mit 52 jahren schaue ich es mir auf DVD immer wieder an.

[lauratrommer]

Love this movie ! Particularly the Robert Vaughn, James Colbert and Steve McQueen characters. Great direction as each of the seven has unique character with minimal screen time. McQueen always said his acting was characterized by reaction over dialogue. And you can certainly see how he dominates his scenes through reaction here. Also love how each character reflects one from Seven Samurai, on which this film was based . Kurosawa loved the film-best compliment of all!

[ИосебМумладзе]

Впервые смотрел этот фильм в 1964 году..., и мне было семь лет. Особенно было восхищение этого эпизода... Потом много...много раз смотрел этот фильм " Великолепная семёрка"... Это шедевр на века. Привет из Georgia!

[derekmills]

One of my all time favourites and a worthy 'westernised' version (almost identical scene for scene) of Akira Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai' another truly excellent film.

[PepperWilliams_songcovers]

I make a point of watching this movie once a year! IMHO, the greatest western EVER made! Every actor was iconic, the score was epic, picture quality superb, writing flawless. It doesn't get better than

[raymondfunnel]

Yul Brynner and James Coburn two fine actors

[billlukasik]

When Eli said "What do you say" I was expecting Yul to respond "So let it be written, so let it be done!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
