Django (1966)

Sergio Corbucci’s Django, to me, is one of the most rewatchable films, ever.  Not just as a spaghetti western, but in general, I could put this film on and never be bored.  The stories simple, the acting is solid and the pacing is almost perfect.  The soundtrack is superb thanks to Luis Enríquez Bacalov.  I can’t get that theme song out of my head!

Compañeros (1970)

Compañeros is a solid effort from director Sergio Corbucci (Django, The Great Silence), bringing back Franco Nero (Django, Texas Adios, Keoma) to once again act in a Spaghetti Western with the talented director.  Also, least we forget, the incredible sound track is performed by Ennio Moricone.  With all of these things working for it, does Compañeros live up to its expectations?  Yes.  Is it the best spaghetti western ever?  No.  It is a great movie?  Yes.  It’s it Corbucci’s best?  No.  But, that doesn’t mean anyone that’s a fan of good cinema shouldn’t see this film.
