The forgotten western that NEEDS a S.E. - The Long Riders!
This is probably one of the BEST westerns ever made! I was thinking about it last night cause I saw a movie with Keith Carradine and he comes out in this long forgotten western. Never has the Story of The James gang ever been told so well and so convincingly. My dad loves this movie and I saw it for the first time around Christmas and I loved it! The best thing about this movie is that it tells the story about a gang full of brothers, and all the actors are actually brothers! I was blown away to see that James Keach and Stacy Keach (TV Titus) were bros! Than I saw the Carradine bros and I didnt know David (Kung-Fu) and Robert (Revenge of the nerds) were related. I couldnt believe it. It was weird seeing a "nerd" in the movie, but after awhile it didnt matter, I was totally convinced that he was a cowboy. Than there are the Quaid bros, that everyone knows, and the Guest bros. I love this damn movie. Real life brothers playing roles of people that actually existed and were actually brothers. I think a commentary with each of the brothers would be a dream come true. This movie deserves it.
Any thoughts?
