The omission of James Keach as Jesse James and Stacy Keach as Frank James in 1980's The Long Riders is a crime. The use of real brothers to portray the James' (Keachs), Youngers (Carridines), and Fords (Guests) lent great authenticity to the story.
The Long Riders is a pretty good version of the story and has the added attraction of including the song, "I'm a Good Ole Rebel" in it. I'm not all that happy with any film version for accuracy but the James Brothers' story is one of the most filmed subjects for Westerns.
The Long Riders is one of the best movies about these people... James Keach in my opinion has been the best in this role... The Tyrone Power portrayal was the first I ever saw and he is my second favorite... I really like everything Robert Duval does but this was not a very good rendition of James in my book... I really don't see how you could leave The Long Riders off of your list.
I think Brad Pitt captured the charisma and deadliness of Jesse best. But perhaps the most 'entertaining' portrayal was by Tyrone Power. Best intro belongs to Elvira, who introduces Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter as "a tragic tale of lost love told through a lack of script and overacting" :)
Only one I've saw on this list is The assassination of jesse James by the coward Robert Ford. But I have also seen the long riders and the return of Frank James with Henry fonda haven't seen the first one with Tyrone power.
there is a missing piece inside if you can't make even one mention of 'the long riders', this is why i am far from liking most of your vids.............................

I agree. The Long Riders is one of the better tellings of this story.
You forgot the quaids who played the millers

James Keach. However all movies have Jesse shown drinking whiskey. Jesse James was a religious man and abstained from alcohol.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is a criminally underrated Western (and its influence is all over Red Dead Redemption 2)
No mention of The Long Riders?
Tyrone. Power. Was. The. Best. Jessie James.
Agreed.
I did not see every film on the list, but Tyrone Power was the best Jesse James (by far) of the ones I saw.
THE LONG RIDERS

For me, Tyrone Power was the the best but i have to admit James Keach is right up there with him.

I've seen a few of the movies in the list on UA-cam so give it a look, some absolute classics available.
Jesse James was no Robin Hood more like bobbing the hood, I guess I'd have to say the best actor was Brad Pitt.
Brad Pitt would be my choice
