Royal Dano’s gaunt, weathered face and haunting voice made him a memorable presence in westerns and character roles across four decades. The Culpepper Cattle Co. teaches a naive teenager the Old West’s harsh realities on a cattle drive, Capone unravels the gangster’s Prohibition rise, Hammett pulls the pulp author into a missing-friend mystery, and House II: The Second Story unearths a cursed skull. Electra Glide in Blue and The Red Badge of Courage round out the list.
