Last night was the grand finale of the one-month free subscription to Netflix. My wife scored a free trial and we milked that for all the movies we could possibly watch. The final movie we watched was The Magnificent Seven.

Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, and Yul Brenner not only made the movie a star-studded delight to watch, but an interesting take on Kurusawa's Seven Samurai. I can't remember ever seeing The Magnificent Seven, but I am glad to say I have. While I didn't relly know they made a handful of sequels, not including the TV series, I can see why they would. It was a magnificent piece of American cinema. I find it fitting that the movie to be the last great hurrah for Hollywood Westerns was the last movie we watched during our trial.

If you like Westerns, you owe it to yourself to watch the Magnificent Seven.
