There's nothing wrong with the more off beat westerns but the problem with most examples I've seen is that that's generally all they are. Meanwhile, you could spend an entire lifetime with a film as supposedly conventional as My Darling Clementine and still never exhaust it. I've met plenty of people who've said they just don't like or haven't seen any John Ford westerns but I've never met anyone who's said they've outgrown them.
