    Moonlight (2016)

    Well, here's a film that many people remember for being snubbed and then redeemed as the wrong film was called out at the 2017 Academy Awards cemermony. No, La La Land did not end up winning the Oscar, it was Moonlight that took home Best Picture.  And what a film it is! A powerful story, written and directed by Barry Jenkins, about three stages of a life of a boy ... and then man who is dealing with identity and someone to guide him through his confusion of life, love, and race.   Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar from all the films releaed in 2016?  Listen and find out what film critic Jack Ferdman thinks, and which film he chooses for his Rewatch Oscar of that year.

    Cavalcade (1932/33)

    Well, here's a film that is near the bottom of many lists of all the Oscar winners for Best Picture. Why do people have such an affinity towards Cavalcade (1933)? It's a film that is very disappointing as the storyline about a British family and their servants go through 32 years full of major events, including war, the death of the queen, and the sinking of the Titanic.   Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar from all the films that were eligible from the 6th Annual Academy Awards? Many critics and fans don't thinks so. Listen and find out what film critic Jack Ferdman thinks, and which film he chooses for his Rewatch Oscar of that year.

    The King's Speech (2010)

    This film is a powerful story about friendship, perserverance, and duty.  The King's Speech showed us the incredible talents of both Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush. It is a special movie that may be slower paced than other films from 2010. However, it is worth your time. It feels even more powerful because it is a true story. A wonderful telling of a king who's voice was truly needed during WWII. Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar for 2010?
