Seven Samurai is the only film IMO that I think is just as good as The Godfather. I've only seen it once, but that one time blew me away, in the same way that The Godfather did the first time I saw it, and the only one that has done so since The Godfather. You owe it to yourself DV. I haven't seen any other films by him, though.
I only saw the Western remake of Seven Samurai "The Magnificant Seven," which stars Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, and Charles Bronson. It's very enjoyable but only average.
