I agree. So is Shane; two very overrated films that critics love, but western fans generally find weak.

Shane and High Noon are both number one.

The Culpepper Cattle Company is up there at the top.

An old Randolph Scott in Seven Men From Now is top level.

OTOH, I love Shane. Just watched it again last week. ‘It’s the killing , Joey’.... Great scene in there too about guns as tools....

But the scene where Jack murders the sodbuster over the mud puddle is a forever.

SHANE is worth it just to watch Jack Palance. It also had one of the first true to life shootings, of Elisha Cook. No “Bang”, then the shot person falls and bloodlessly rolls out of the scene. We see him blown back and into the mud.
