Seven Men from Now is certainly worth seeing, i especially liked the first half, but i don't thing it quite belongs among an elite of 60. 

Scorsese seems to be living off his earlier reputation- only 2 very good films in 28 years, and some stinkers- Kundun, Bringing out the Day and the execrable Gangs of New York. Like most winners, Departed was way short of Oscar worthy, a competent crowd-pleaser remake, its duel identity issues not original- so now Scorsese joins the ranks of the not so great- none of the very greatest directors have won best director oscar. Taxi Driver may be a seminal film, and of course there may be quite a bit to admire and debate, but Schrader's right wing thinking wins out- cathartic redemption through vigilante violence? No thanks. That sort of phoney Catholic spirituality i can do without. Scorsese has played on the sensitive/violent contrast often enough but in the end all too often he likes to wallow in bloodshed, and play to teenage masturbation fantasies. The life has gone from his fiction films. He's still a grown up with his documentaries, and should bring that depth of knowledge and thoughtfulness to his regular features.
