>>Not a bad list, but Shane doesn't belong in it.<<
Don't know how you can say that. The Western Writers of America consider Shane the best Western movie ever made. I do, too.

Shane is iconic. It is almost mythological. The 1949 book by Jack Schaefer is even better than the movie, although there is nothing lacking in the movie adaption.
Shane is a must see for any Western movie buff. It gets better with every viewing.

Only Jack Palance is worth watching. The other performances are "meh" and Alan Ladd was a dud.
Don't care what "Western Writers of America" or any other group of writers has to say about it. Writers aren't consumers of the product, and they have no idea what's good or bad.
