Depends. Shotgun microphones are a popular choice but there really isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ microphone for any application,

Whether or not the NTG1 is adequate depends entirely on what you want to record with it and the production values of your film projects. Is it a small sound with a lot of detail? A really loud sound? An atmospheric or ambient sound? These variables dictate the choice of microphone type (dynamic, condenser) and polar pattern (cardioid, omni). It’s also common to use multiple microphones simultaneously for their different characteristics.

This thread on gearslutz has good info about popular foley mics with similar context to your question, but budget options are quite limited.

Foley recording usually implies an element of performance on the part of the foley artist because the sounds needs to match the action onscreen. This means you have to pay special attention to wearing clothing that won’t rustle, the acoustic environment you’re recording in and how much of it you want to capture, and how you might layer sounds for creative purposes inside the DAW.
