The Great Silence
Why this pick
Corbucci again pairs a near-mythic, taciturn gunslinger with pitiless moral rot, pushing Django’s mud-and-blood bleakness into a snowbound, elegiac frontier.

02
The Mercenary
Why this pick
It retains Corbucci’s abrasive revolutionary setting, flamboyant violence, and shifting alliances, but gives the drifter-versus-ideologue dynamic a more sardonic, propulsive rhythm.
03
Cemetery Without Crosses
Why this pick
A stark revenge Western with ghost-town desolation, ruthless factions, and a grimly stylised visual world that matches Django’s fatalistic, morally contaminated atmosphere.
04
The Big Gundown
Why this pick
Its pursuit structure steadily complicates the apparent hero and villain, while political cynicism, tense confrontations, and hard-edged widescreen style suit Django’s darker sensibility.
05
Companeros
Why this pick
Another Corbucci Zapata Western, balancing brutal action and revolutionary betrayal with volatile partnerships and the director’s taste for extravagant, anti-authoritarian set pieces.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
On the Mexico-United States border, a drifter (person), wearing a Union Army uniform and dragging a coffin, witnesses Mexican bandits tying a runaway prostitute, María, to a bridge and whipping her. The bandits are dispatched by henchmen of Major Jackson – a racist ex-Confederate States of America officer – who prepare to kill María by crucifixion her atop a burning cross. The drifter, who identifies himself as Django (character), easily shoots the men, and offers María protection. The pair arrive in a ghost town, populated by Nathaniel, a bartender, and five prostitutes. Nathaniel explains that the town is a Neutral zone (territorial entity) in a conflict between Jackson's Red Shirts (United States) and General Hugo Rodríguez's revolutionaries.
