Seven Samurai, 13 Assassins, 47 Ronin
Diminishing returns. The fewer you have the better the film. Ok this theory makes Shogun Assassin or American Ninja the greatest... so maybe seven (although I haven't seen an eight or a nine) is the key and then it slides either side but a different rate on the scale to zero to the other scale which could go to infinity.
Someone get to work on the formula.
