The three-disc DVD box set Cult Spaghetti Westerns brings together three of the finest examples of the genre in an essential collection that includes Django, directed by Sergio Corbucci and starring Franco Nero, A Bullet For The General, directed by Damiano Damiani and starring Gian Maria Volonte and Klaus Kinski, and Keoma, again starring Nero and directed by his regular cohort, Enzo G. Castellari (the man behind the original Inglorious Bastards). Each DVD comes with a reversible sleeve featuring the original artwork of the film and an exclusive in-depth presentation of the film by acclaimed filmmaker Alex Cox.

Django (1966)
One of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns ever made, and without a doubt the most influential, Sergio Corbucci's iconic masterpiece Django is a landmark piece of cinema revered by film critics and Western genre fans alike. Originally banned in several countries (and denied a certificate by the BBFC in the UK until 1993), the film made an international star of Franco Nero and, worldwide, spawned over 50 unauthorised sequels. Nero stars as Django, a mysterious lone gunfighter who arrives in a bleak, mud-drenched town only to find himself caught in the middle of a violent feud between two gangs of sadistic bandits. Beautifully shot by Enzo Barboni (who went on to direct They Call Me Trinity and its many sequels), the film also boasts a superb score by Oscar-winning composer Luis Enríquez Bacalov (Il Postino).

A Bullet For The General (El chuncho, quien sabe?, 1966)
A Spaghetti Western on a par with best of Sergio Leone's work, A Bullet For The General is a radical and politically committed film directed by Damiano Damiani from a powerful screenplay by Oscar nominee Franco Solinas (co-writer of the award-winning The Battle Of Algiers). It is the height of the Mexican Revolution and a gang of bandits led by the charismatic El Chuncho (Gian Maria Volonté) is supporting the cause by stealing weapons and selling them on to rebel General Elias (Jaime Fernández). During a daring raid on a heavily armed train, a mysterious blonde gringo, Bill Tate (Lou Castel), surprisingly assists the bandits by killing the driver and stopping the train. Nicknamed ‘Nino' by El Chuncho, Tate manages to insinuate himself into the gang, which also includes El Chuncho's brother and crazed priest, El Santo (Klaus Kinski), and the beautiful but deadly revolutionary, Adelita (Martine Beswick). But unknown to the rebels, Tate is a mercenary assassin on a mission to get close to, and kill, Elias.

Keoma (1976)
Director Enzo G. Castellari's acknowledged masterpiece, Franco Nero stars as the eponymous gunslinger, who on his return to his hometown finds his half brothers have joined the evil gang of a sadistic local villain. Intent on restoring justice to the town, Keoma finds himself up against Caldwell's horde of gangsters and his own flesh and blood in a deadly and ultimately tragic conflict.
