A Fistfull of Dollars

Clint Eastwood was already well on his way to becoming a star when this film hit the screens and after it did he would end up a household name. As great as Eastwood can be, this is him at his very rugged best. I was amazed at just how damn well this film holds up. Made in 1964 you could put this against any Western from the last couple of years and it would kick ass. Sergio Leone just masters it here and Eastwood may very well have been the Grandfather of the "one-liner". Don't let the term "spaghetti western" throw you off...A FISTFULL OF DOLLARS is an absolute must see......and if you want to read about it being a remake of Kurosawa's YOJIMBO you can look elsewhere.
