...ironic, that the term 'spaghetti westerns' has come to represent those gritty and viceral films produced in Italy, since spaghetti isn't an exclusive concoction of that country (...THAT renovation belongs to China)...
...ah, stereotypes!!!
Speaking of stereotypes, the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone trilogy, as listed above by my fellow answerers above, seems to have, at least to most people, have become the stereotype representative of what I prefer to call the Euro-Western; his enigmatic and mysterious 'man with no name' character HAS proven most iconic in this particular genre, but by no means an exclusive and singular characterization, and has been repeated emulated...even improved upon, as the genre has matured/progressed...
If "A Fistful of Dollars", "A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" are your only exposure to the Euro-Western genre, you will be most intrigued and delighted, when you seek out the following:
The "Django" series, and it's various takes and offshoots of the character...also most iconic and stereotypical, as a gunslinging stranger, who wanders into town, towing a beaten and weathered coffin behind him, containing...well, who knows??? (...this series inspired director Robert Rodriguez' equally iconic, mythical and nameless guitar playing character, with a guitar case full of guns).
The 'Sabata' series, starring Lee Van Cleef (though actor Yul Brenner DID do one of them); yet another iconic character, a cold and calculated gunslinger, with his own brand of justice...
...and there are many, many others, proving that the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone trilogy hardly holds an exclusive gammut upon the genre...

The three most famous spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood are:
A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
For a Few Dollars More (1965)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
but my personal Eastwood favorite is High Plains Drifter.

Clint Eastwood, in the late 1960's, starred in a series of westerns that were shot in Italy, by Sergio Leone. They were referred to as "spaghetti westerns" because of the Italian connections.
They were, "A Fistful of Dollars", "For A Few Dollars More", and "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly". All of them are great.

"A Fist Full of Dollars"(1964), "For A Few Dollars More"(1966), and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"(1966). They're called spaghetti because they're produced by Italian studios. Check this out:
