I remember seeing this in the theater and being rivited. Also great to see the 4 sets of brothers...that alone will make this movie a classic. Forgot how cute they all use to be in their hey day. just saw this on Turner Classics…and still in awe of the stunt work…especially the scene with them riding thru the glass windows.

The Wild Bunch is a close second, but the music in The Long Riders is evocative, period-perfect, and simply outstandingly good if Cooder had never done anything else in his life he would remembered for this score.

The theme regarding Sam Peckinpah was so right on and accepted when Long Riders first hit the silver screen, to this day, I thought it was a Sam Peckinpah film. I liked this review….a lot!
