This legendary scene from The Magnificent Seven.

And Four for Texas, with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin?
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

The others you value at five stars are good too (although I wouldn't give them five stars).
Charles Bronson was very good at playing in mediocre films; to my knowledge, there is nothing really worthwhile in his filmography after 1968...

The Mechanic is a pretty cool movie. Is it good? Who knows. I like it.

The Mechanic is cool.  Jan-Michael Vincent's best film ever.

Oh yes, Death Wish might be considered OK... And Terence Young's Soleil Rouge/Red Sun an interesting curiosity. But they're not really considered films raising above the average when it comes to artistic/narrative qualities. To me these are part of the Hollywood pulp: sometimes interesting most of the times just average... (which does not mean they can't be enjoyable!)

I do enjoy Once Upon a Time in the West and Magnificent Seven though
