Western Wednesday: The Magnificent Seven

Decent Western.  I love the set up to this movie.  Eli Wallach in his younger days.  Cool to see Charles Bronson and Yul Brynner in cowboy action.  A poor Mexican village are being bullied and robbed by a ruthless gang led by Wallach's character.  Three Mexicans head out to a village to seek help.  They meet Yul Brynner's character, a bad ass brave good guy who decides to help them.  He gets together a team of 7 and they head back to the Mexican village to do their job.  Good shootout sequences towards the end.  It dragged on a bit in the second half but I still enjoyed it.
I might have to add this to my Western section.  This movie made me want to smoke a cigar.  Haven't smoked one in a while.  I think it's about time.
