The Searchers has psychological elements to it no doubt (just as almost EVERY WESTERN has), but it's first and foremost a Western.

The Treasure of Sierra Madre and No Country for Old Men are not first and foremost of the Western genre, which is why they shouldn't be mentioned.

also, i forgot about Corbucci's The Great Silence. that's right up there with the best of them as well (thought Django was great but not on Silence's level).
