Films like Django Shoots First.

Django Shoots First (1966) reads as Sombre, breathless, measured django / inheritance, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
