Not to rain on anyone's parade or seem pedantic, but the "Dollars" trilogy were Italian westerns, directed by Sergio Leone. Those and many others from a line of Italian directors who loved the imagery of the American west spawned the term "spaghetti western". One of Eastwood's best performances (after his "Man With No Name" character's debut in the "Dollars" trilogy) was in The Outlaw Josey Wales, where he portrayed a simple farmer driven to wreak vengeance on a gang of Union soldiers who murdered his family. Directed by Eastwood himself, "Wales" was a fantastic film about inhumanity, redemption, and revenge.
