It's not an issue of having watched enough westerns. It's just that none of them particularly wow me much. (Except for one).
To me the genre is closed, kaput, sealed, locked, no further admissions. Kind of a narrow viewpoint. I'll think through this again.
@
tgm1024, I understand what you mean because I'm also not much of a fan of western movies, but I'm going to submit a list before the deadline. I'm trying to watch some "classic" westerns for this list, but like you, most of them are just average movies to me, so maybe this suggestion will help.
Pick a genre that you like, and try to find some movies that fall into that genre AND the western genre.
For example,
If you like comedies, try movies like
Blazing Saddles (1974),
Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969),
City Slickers (1991),
The Frisco Kid (1979),
¡Three Amigos! (1986), etc.
If you like musicals, try movies like
Annie Get Your Gun (1950),
Calamity Jane (1953),
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954),
Oklahoma! (1955),
Paint Your Wagon (1969), etc.
If you like animated movies, try movies like
Rango (2011),
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002), etc.
I'm sure by now, you get the idea.

Just search Google or IMDB for movies that fit into both genres, and maybe you'll find some new favorite movies for your westerns list.
