The original 1960 Magnificent Seven is probably my favorite. It’s an official licensed remake of Seven Samurai so there’s plenty of fun action scenes, a really great cast led by Yul Brynner, and lots of iconic lines and moments. I still regularly think about the Mexican village elder’s parable about a drunk who stumbled off the roof of a tall building and was heard by the people inside saying “so far, so good” every time he passed a window on the way down. For a more recent one I really liked Ti West’s In a Valley of Violence with Ethan Hawke and John Travolta, I never really hear it get talked about and had never heard of it until I happened to stumble on it while scrolling mindlessly through Netflix one day but it’s a cool little revenge tale, one of those movies that feels like it stripped the genre down to just its essentials and is better for it, just pure distilled western revenge drama centered around a handful of actors putting in killer performances.

There’s also Quigley Down Under which is solid and has Alan Rickman as a cool sneering villain
