Not bad ... too much Leone actually. Lots of Waynes and Eastwoods, the 2 most iconic western actors.

The Treasure of the SM is not a western imo, and of the others Mag 7 is far away from it's reputation, and Liberty Valance is a film which I like less every time I watch it. The most overrated western classic for me, unfortunately.

I can get behind every one of these statements.

What's not to understand?

TTotSM was never a western for me, even if it is close to one. Apart from that it is one of the films which come early to my mind if we talk about overrated classics. Not a bad film, but there are many reasons why it stays in the 7/10 region.

Liberty Valance has even more flaws, too much bad theatrical acting is one of them. While I enjoyed the other usual Ford classics more than ever the last time I watched them, TMWSLV is on a way down for me.

And Mag 7 is not only compared to 7 Samurai disappointing in many respects, but also compared to the westerns Sturges did before. A film which is far less good than what director, cast and the Kurosawa film were promising. But it has also often the "great classic reputation", and is often viewed as the best film of its director.

Of course these are only my subjective views, and I'm surely in the minority with them.
