"As far as ratings go this is a highly rated cowboy movie, so in that sense it is a good solution to problem. However without the topic being specific this may not be a good solution for many, specifically those who are not into older movies and would have preferred a more recent best cowboy movie. Again the topic is plural and the solution is only singular. "#3High Noon
