Agreed about David Lean. Anyone who could bring romance to a giant sandbox and dignity to a POW camp could certainly have made the Western to end all Westerns.
Apparently much of Hollywood feels the same as you about Kurosawa, as many of his films have either inspired or been blatantly remade as Westerns (well, so I've read).
