Cult clip: Django (1966)

Arguably, the most influential of all spaghetti westerns, Sergio Corbucci's Django is more gritty and bloody than the better-known Sergio Leone flicks and a film responsible for over 30 spin-offs (though only one was an officially sanctioned sequel).

Like Leone's A Fistful of Dollars, Django is a loose remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, with Django (Franco Nero) heading for a town wiped out by clashes between the Mexicans and a racist group of Civil War stragglers, playing both parties off against each other for his own gain. And all the time dragging behind him a large pine coffin.

If that sounds confusing, check out the trailer for a flavour of this genuine cult classic.
