Do you really think 2-5 are better than Vera Cruz and The Magnificent Seven?

I love this film, and the others mentioned. Yet I have to say that The Magnificent Seven is a very ordinary western IMO. You'd think "ordinary" would be impossible with that incredible cast. Even if you put them around a table and record their chatting, it would still make a good movie. But TMS was very slow and uninteresting for me. While using Kurosawa's plot, they should also have studied his pacing of the film.

That said, I guess Once Upon a Time... is the fixed number 1 on most people's lists. Red Sun and White Buffalo are the next for me.

And yes, Death Hunt is not exactly a western, but with the mountain men and settings, it certainly resembles one. Plus you get Lee Marvin and Ed Lauter, what else does a Bronson fan want?

Never be complete.

Very good film,casting superb..music cannot get enough of the haunting refrain and photography outstanding.Bronson,Big Clint Walker,Warden,Whitman,Pickens and more.
Westerns,even average Joel McCrea movies....almost all of them back to Guy Madison and real American Men/actors.Where are they now?
I will say this....the young male generation..a bunch of sissies"girlie boys"as Arnold said a year ago.
Honestly,name one male actor who reminds you of Lee Marvin or The Duke.
Find me a John Saxon?
Damn shame.
This film is the finest of Bronson's work....hey where were Richard Jaekel and Jack Palance
