A decent movie if You're a fan, Kurusu. Don't want to spoil it, if You get the urge.
Someone above just reminded me of one of the best movie scenes ever filmed. The In The Line of Fire scene where Clint and the female lead are peeling the duty gear off each other (we think, the camera is pointed at their feet) and all that hardware is hitting the floor.

"Kelly's Heroes" is a favorite, but not just because of Clint Eastwood. The cast was exceptional for the time (Don Rickles, Carroll O'Conner, Telly Savalas, Stuart Margolin, etc), and for a Donald Sutherland and others who went on to have superb careers.
"The Outlaw Josey Wales" is my favorite Eastwood western. It's also one of the few "give Sondra Locke a job" movies that I actually like.
My other Eastwood favorites include:
The Eiger Sanction
Where Eagles Dare
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
Hang 'em High
Space Cowboys
The hate list includes:
Bronco Billy;
Any Which Way You Can;
Every Which Way but Loose;
(all of the above being classic "give Sandra Locke a job" movies)
and:
The Bridges of Madison County

Too many good parts of JW.
My favorite line is when the squaw jumps the Chief, has him on his back, straddling him. Josie stops her. “Good thing You pulled her off of me. It might had to kill her,”
One of my favorite scenes is she the Chief is sneaking around following JW. Next thing he knows he has a revolver stuck in his ear. Chief just shakes his head.

A sort of preference, him directing but not acting in Flags Of Our Fathers.

I like most anything Eastwood does, except tripe like The Bridges of Madison County. But as far as westerns go, I cannot stand spaghetti westerns. Something about the sound really turns me off. The dubbed voices and ricochet sounds just get on my nerves almost immediately and I have to turn them off. Been that way since I was a kid too, I didn't like the assorted "sword & sandal" Italian movies either.

The younger generation have no clue to what the spaghetti westerns are, they think it’s an all you can eat pasta buffet with a bbq sauce kick.
All of them. I remember him saying " A man has to know his limitations". Oh, how true.

I like all of his movies except that stupid bridge one.
I will pick “Hang’m High”. If I have to pick just one.

In the spirit of the OP's question , as far as Image , Coogan's Bluff covers all the bases of Cowboy And Hard nosed Detective . But he has done excellent work in so many genres ( and acting, directing, and producing , in various combinations ) , that he can't be pigeonholed in any one genre .
FWIW - Josey Wales is well up on my short list of greatest Westerns of all time .
Further FWIW , one of the wife's relations who was retired USSS , gave high marks to Line of Fire .

I am not feeling the love here for one of the most iconic performances.
Come on folks.
I saw this movie when I was sixteen years old and shortly after bought the record album. I still own that album.
Number one for me and always will be:
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Sergio Leone was a Master at his craft.
Ennio Morricone produced the most outstanding and entertaining orchestrations of any movie I have ever seen.
There are tons of accolades and words published about the movie and the directing and, of course, the music.
And then there are the heroes of that spaghetti western that will never die:
Clint Eastwood
Elic Wallach
Lee Van Cleef
So many epic scenes.
And here is a video that I watch frequently as it is also an iconic performance paying tribute to that wonderful movie.
It still sets the mood for me.
That haunting solo by Christine Anderson and the oboe solo just brings the whole scenes of the movie back to me.
Enjoy,

A testament to this truly gifted man is that all my grandchildren and their cousins know who he is.
High praise, indeed.
