Django (1966)


A coffin-dragging gunslinger enters a town caught between two feuding factions. 
Django, which has spawned many sequels since, could easily have been forgotten as just another western following hot on the heels of A Fist Full Of Dollars and containing no further significance. However, this movie steps killing cowboys up to another level. Franco Nero coolly drags around a coffin with him where ever he goes, and when the time's right disposes of gangs in the dozen. It is certainly a definitive spaghetti western and one of my favourites, not least because of Luis Bacalov's sick score.
