The Birth of Spaghetti Western This movie is the first one in the dollars trilogy and as such presents flaws that would be fixed on the successors. It would be foolish, however, to ignore what this movie meant to cinema. It was Clint Eastwood's first leading role and it inspired countless other works, including non-westerns. It's filmography is stunning and the character development is perfectly balanced between the action. Leone equals 10/10!
