Westerns, like most genres, adhere to a series of tropes and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is devoid of almost all of those. Yes, it's set in the West. But the idea of the Western Hero, the civilization of the West and many other tropes of the genre are completely absence.

I see how it is around here.  :P

I still hold that even though some people consider it a Western, there's practically no basis for it if you actually look at the elements of the Western genre.

Western. You seem to limit the genre.

Genres, by their nature, are limiting.

I like how you had to adjust then image on the right just to make it fit with the image on the left.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
