Best Picture Winners: REBECCA and THE APARTMENT

March means awards season in the movie world so here on Movies for Life we're doing a couple episodes in the month of March having to do with the Oscars. For today's episode, we've chosen a couple of our personal favorite movies from the Oscars' history of Best Picture winners! First we discuss Michele's choice, the Best Picture winner of 1940 - Alfred Hitchcock's REBECCA. It's definitely not your typical romance story, and we have a great time breaking down all the wildly interesting characters and salacious plot points in this wonderful adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's novel. Then we move on to another amazing film from another amazing director for Brian's pick, the Best Picture winner of 1960 - Billy Wilder's THE APARTMENT. A movie as equally daring as REBECCA, this one is also emotionally moving while tackling some serious subjects, all of it spearheading by great directing and powerhouse performances from Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray. Thank you all so much for listening and enjoy the show!
