Books, Movies, Music & Entertainment - List Out your favorite 3 movies

I saw the Magnificent Seven a long time ago, and then again recently. Which meant that I had to see Seven Samurai when it was on TCM recently.

Both are wonderful for what they are. I guess some might consider the Magnificent Seven a rip-off, but I think it's a great retelling.

I hate* car chases. I won't sit through one. But that chase scene in Ronin had me on the edge of my seat. Loved it when he put the seat belt on. Perfect stress relief before they revved me up again.
