Sure, you can slice and dice them all you want, put this and that on top, the bottom line is - if you like it, and I do, they all are fine, the caricature ones, the "serious" ones, as long as they are just slightly above the "Very Bad" grade.
When I watch a western I engage a different part of the brain, and I don't care if the hero shoots at a caricature... which is true in 95% of cases.
And frankly, the more "serious" ones, like Gary Cooper's High Noon, are also more boring than the others... they are neither fish nor fowl...
I think a western has to be fairly dumb to be truly enjoyable as... ahem... a western.
After all... who would want to spoil his hot dog with some fancy gourmet sauce or expensive wine?
