10. "The Long Riders"...

... was the first truly authentic western. The costumes, the firearms, and even the always-overlooked saddles were exactly what they should have been for the period being portrayed in the film. The saddles did not have low cantles with Cheyenne rolls, swell forks, and one-piece fenders, at least not the ones in any foreground shots. And not every sidearm was a .45 caliber Colt Single Action Army.

I'm saddened to learn of the Carradine family's loss, and especially that it was by Robert's own hand. RIP, Bobby.
