Right. The spaghetti westerns are easy to distinguish, both in their tone and in the frequently less than great voice overs. It's especially odd when you hear someone dubbed into English who actually speaks English but didn't, for what ever reason, do their own voice translation work.

Yes. The "spaghetti westerns" were the ones filmed by Sergio Leone, in Italy (hence, the nickname).Right.

With Eastwood I can think of three: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, and For a Few Dollars More.
Didn't know that he was responsible for all of them. Interesting. Did he film the Man with No Name movies as well?
You know, it would have to be, wouldn't it...Leone was the director. I suppose I separate it because, to my mind, it's so much better than what I normally associate with them.
I liked it.
Wiki says he co-directed High Plains Drifter, and that Eastwood directed Pale Rider. But to be a "spaghetti western" I think it had to be made in Italy. And neither of those films, were.
