      The Magnificent Seven is way better, and predates it by 80 or 90 years. Rumour has it that John Sturges was so impressed by the Seven Samurai, that he presented Kurosawa with a Colt Single Action Army Revolver and said "You have made a great movie, but it's my movie, ya dig."

      (you may crucify me now.)

        I think you got that backwards. Magnificent seven came out in 1960, seven samurai in 1954. It even says magnificent seven is just an adaptation of seven samuria.
