The Best Western Movies Ever Made
A fistful of dollars (1964)
The main role of A Fistful of Dollars was offered to Henry Fonda, James Coburn, and Charles Broson who all passed. That led to Director Segio Leone to take a chance and settle for TV actor Clint Eastwood, who was paid $15,000 for the role. The rest, as they say, is history.
Movie Plot: A wandering gunfighter plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge.
