Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven. The age old hollywood tradition of stealing ideas and remaking versions of foreign films (that are never as good). There might be an earlier example, but i don't know that much about the history of cinema.


The Magnificent Seven is a pretty great film, even if it's a retelling of Seven Samurai.


Its only my opinion but i think the original is better. But if you're saying the remake is on a par with the original, then its definitely the exception rather than the rule. Not trying to knock The Magnificent Seven.
