THE LONG RIDERS (1980). This saga of the James-Younger gang is wonderful in the Production values, but it takes awhile for the story to pick up. Once it finds its footing, it's pretty good and quite violent as well-especially in the Northfield MN raid...Sam Peckinpah would have been proud. Main selling point for TLR was it featured Real Life Brothers playing Brothers in the story, such as The Keach's (James and Stacy), The Carradine's (David, Keith and Robert), The Quaid's (Randy and a very young Dennis) and The Guest's (Nichlas and Christopher). ***
