'Django Kill' was a great movie, even though I do not think that 'Django' is overrated. 'Keoma' is also a great movie though I am not into the singing (hearing the instrumental tunes prove that the music is actually pretty great in itself though).
As a side note, I get sick of people saying ''best non-Leone'' western or spaghetti western as if he is the definitive best in a genre with hundreds upon hundreds of directors. It is like saying that 'Double Indemnity' is one of the best ''non-Huston'' noir movies. It is, quite frankly, a little ridiculous. And I personally find movies like 'The Big Gundown' with its deeper political themes than in any Leone film to stand on its one as one of the best westerns ever made and not just ''one of the best NON-LEONE spaghetti westerns''. Call me old fashioned but I judge movies by their own merits and do not ignore the contributions of less-mainstream directors; by mainstrean, I mean the directors American critics declare to be the best, such as Leone, whilst ignoring others such as Corbucci, whose film 'Django' was a bigger hit in Europe than 'A Fistful of Dollars', or Kobayashi whose movies rival and often surpass those of Kurosawa.
