Another mostly forgotten movie is one of my favorite westerns, The Long Riders. It's about the James-Younger Gang, and is interesting in that all the brothers in the movie are portrayed by real life brothers; the Keaches play the Jameses, the Carradines play the Youngers, the Quaids play the Millers and the Guests play the Fords. Directed by Walter Hill, it is very slick and stylized, and violent as hell. The Northfield raid is amazing, and it features one of the best knife fights ever. David Carradine in particular is awesome as Cole Younger.
