    The Broadway Melody (1928/29)

    The Broadway Melody (1928/29)

    There have been good, great, and even brilliant Best Picture winners over the past century.  Many stay with us forever, and we love watching them over and over and over again.  And then, well, there are films like The Broadway Melody.  Those who have seen it understand.  However, its importance and influence in the history of cinema is undeniable.  It was the first full-length musical with synchronized sound.  Watching it today feels like it was more experimental than anything else. But it does have its good qualities.  

    Download and listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on this modern-day classic and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 128/29 to.  Yes, he does watch a lot of films.

    Midnight Cowboy (1969)

    Midnight Cowboy (1969)

    What an incredible year in cinema! There were so many great films to close out the decade.  It was a time when Hollywood turned a new page and began making deeper, darker, and more rich films.  And one of those films was this classic starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman ... Midnight Cowboy.  This movie rocked a lot of people when it came out with its risqué story with homosexual overtones.  Despite some of those critics, the film was a huge box -ffice success. Does the film hold up after all these years?  

    Download and listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on this modern-day classic. Hear if he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1969 to this dark heartbreaking film.

    The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

    The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

    There have only been three films that have swept the "big five" Oscars.  And this one, the ONLY so-called horror film to win, is the last to win Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay.  The Silence of the Lambs scared us all when we first saw it in the theatres in 1991 ... and we keep coming back for more.  We love the story, we are blown away by the performances, and we love being terrified.  However, after all these years, do we still think it's the best film of 1991?  Download and listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's  take on this modern-day classic. Hear if he gives The Silence of the Lambs his REwatch Oscar of 1991.

    Ordinary People (1980) Including 2024 Oscar Predictions

    Ordinary People (1980) Including 2024 Oscar Predictions

    In 1980, legendary actor Robert Redford made his directorial debut with a film that moved so many and gave us great dramatic performances from Donald Sutherland, newcomer Timothy Hutton, and even comedy sitcom star Mary Tyler Moore.  The film is of course the moving Ordinary People. It took home four Oscars, including Best Picture. However, after more than 4 decades does it still resonate with us, and in retrospect is it still deserving as the best of 1980? Download and listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on Ordinary People.

    As a bonus, Jack also shares his choices for who will win all the prizes at the 96th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, March 10th.

    You Can't Take It With You (1938)

    You Can't Take It With You (1938)

    Many directors fit certain categories of filmmaking ... when you think of films that focus on the little guy overcoming obstacles and beating corporations or banks or the rich ... well, you think of Frank Capra.  Capra won three Academy Awards in 5 years and the last win is likely his least-known film for movie fans of today, You Can't Take It With You.  This zany screwball comedy has a message and heart, but it also has wonderful performances by Jimmy Stewart, Jean Arthur, and especially Lionel Barrymore. However, is that enough to have film critic Jack Ferdman give it his Rewatching Oscar of 1938? Download and listen to his take on this forgotten Best Picture winner.
