The Movie Quentin Tarantino Called "One of the Great Westerns" Is Officially Streaming Uncut

Aside from Sergio Leone himself, few knew the spaghetti Western genre in their bones like Sergio Corbucci. Director of the original Django, which spawned a lengthy franchise and served as inspiration forQuentin Tarantino, Corbucci also helmed Burt Reynolds' Navajo Joe and the blackly comedic The Mercenary, and his sardonic, bullet-riddled style rarely flagged. But Corbucci's undisputed masterpiece is 1968's The Great Silence. Full of breathtaking snowy photography shot in the alpine regions of Italy and an equally breathtaking Ennio Morricone score, and laden with hard-eyed violence, this film would also prove irresistible to Tarantino, who called it "my favorite snow Western, one of the great nihilistic spaghetti Westerns, done by one of my favorite directors" — and borrowed heavily from its imagery for The Hateful Eight.
