Most fans of Clint Eastwood, however, know him for his Western films, mostly from the "spaghetti Western" genre.

Those include films like Pale Rider, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, and Hang 'Em High.

But it was 1971's Dirty Harry — and the infamous "go ahead, make my day" line — that made Clint Eastwood a bona fide celebrity.
