Is this the best cowboy movie ever made?


I have seen a lot of westerns, Lonesome Dove, Broken Trail, The Cowboys, whatever, but this one really felt like a cattle drive. All the other films were more focused on outlaws, bandits, gunslingers, indians, etc. but this was about men moving cattle. Don't get me wrong, Lonsome Dove, Shane, The Searchers, Who Shot Liberty Valance, Unforgiven, High Noon, Destry rides Again, Tombstone, those are extremely great films and have their own special place but this one is THE cowboy film. If I'm wrong, let me know, maybe my brains off kilter right now.
