The critics will tell you that 'The Searchers' is the finest western ever made, although it has a third act flaw with Wayne's Ethan character inexplicably changing his vengeful desire to kill his long estranged niece (finding his humanity?). But I've seen almost every western ever made and I take them for what they are, very few resonant and stay with you.
The exception in my mind is another John Ford western "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance'. This is my favorite westen ever along with 'The OxBow Incident'. Both go much deeper than the shoot 'em up mentality of most of the ilk.Plus, they are the only thing my father and I can agree on, lol.
