"Django"
1966
Directed by Sergio Corbucci

About the same time Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood were making the "Spaghetti Western" famous with A Fistful of Dollars, director Sergio Corbucci unveiled this even more over-the-top example of the genre. Franco Nero stars as the title character, a mysterious stranger who travels with a coffin in tow. Caught in the crossfire between bandits and sadistic vigilantes, he makes his own kind of order out of the chaos. With its heavily stylized and extreme violence, Django was banned in several countries, but it became a huge hit in many others, leading to over 50 unofficial sequels and copycats.  90 minutes.
