  • In 2009 the Academy Awards increased the number of films that could be nominated for Best Picture. For over 6 decades there used to be only 5 films selected. However, the Academy decided that more films should be at least acknowledged with being honoured with a nomination. So from here on out, there would be at the very least 5, and at the most 10, films that would get that honour. The top two films leading the pack of ten were the huge mega-blockbuster Avatar, and the deeper, and more intelligent war film The Hurt Locker. The latter film prevailed despite its poor showing at the box office. Director Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to ever win Best Director. Fifteen years later, this moving film still resonates with so many critics and fans alike. However, should it still be regarded as the best film of 2009? Did the Academy get it right? Film critic Jack Ferdman dives head first into that question and gives you his choice for what should have won ... and tells us who gets his Rewatch Oscar of 2009.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Westerns are not as popular amongst movie-goers over the past 40 years ... but there is one that changed the way we look at the Wild West. Clint Eastwood gave us Unforgiven. It's a film that turns the Western tropes of the past on its head. It's a wonderfully written, acted, and directed film that blew everyone away. It was nominated for nine Oscars and took home four. Should it still be regarded as the best film of 1992? Check out Jack's analysis of this Eastwood-directed classic and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1992 to.

  • The 1970s were the dawn of a new generation of filmmakers. The era between 1967 and 1979 is known as New Hollywood cinema. Directors and screenwriters began making films with fewer reigns on them and trying new riskier stories, with styles used predominately in European films. The French Connection is a perfect example of how darker and edgier stories with anti-heroes as the protagonists became the norm and how many more of these movies were becoming more mainstream. The Best Picture winner of 1971 was not only critically acclaimed but was also a box-office blockbuster. But was it the best film of the year? Check out Jack's analysis of this classic, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1971 to.

  • There were a lot of films that were released after WWII from all different perspectives of what went on during that time. However, during the early 1940s, many films did the same DURING wartime. There were several that were extraordinary. Mrs. Miniver (1942) was one of those special films. Although very much a propaganda-like film released not only to entertain movie fans everywhere, it also pushed the idea of strength and determination to defeat the Nazis no matter how difficult the task. Mrs. Miniver was a huge hit back over 80 years ago, However, does it still resonate now, both with its message and with its quality? This to Jack's take on this William Wyler classic and find out if he thinks it deserves his Rewatch Oscar of 1942.

  • Well ... season 4 starts off with a bang! One of the BIG Oscar winners of all-time. It's epic in size, and was loved by so many when it came out. Is this romance/disaster film still all as great as it was all those years ago? Was it ever that great? Are the effects by Director James Cameron really just a mirage for a screenplay that isnt that very good? Do we still love the story of Jack and Rose's four day romance aboard the doomed ship? Wel, check out Jack's analysis to hear his detailed take on this 3 1/2 boat ride of a film. Does he think another movie from 1997 is better than Titanic? Hmmm ...

  • Jack loves being a film critic ... analyzing both the good and the bad of everything that is cinema. The Best Picture Oscar winner of 1951, An American in Paris, covers both ends of that spectrum. The music of George Gershwin, the dance sequences, and many of the scenes really project this film forward ... but was all of that enough to deserve the accolades it received from the Academy, including the top prize at the Oscars.
    Download and listen to this final episode of Season 3 of Rewatching Oscar, and hear Jack's take on this MGM classic as well as all the other greats from 1951, and find out which film he thinks deserves his Rewatch Oscar.

  • Sometimes films go above and beyond just being a source of entertainment. Some movies are not just pieces of art put on celluloid for all film lovers to watch, but they are important ... educational, and even a piece of historical reference. Schindler's List is not a documentary, but it feels a lot like one. Steven Spielberg's epic 3+ hour story about one man who saved 1100 Jews from death in the Holocaust is riveting and moving. Was it deserving of the best picture of 1993. Download and listen to Jack's take on this film as well as all the other greats from 1993 and hear which film he thinks deserves his Rewatch Oscar.

  • There are films that seem strange when you read the plot outline. You think to yourself, why would this be made? Then you find out that the perfect guy for this story is the director, so you think it could work. Well, Guillermo del Toro made this fantasy about a mute woman in 1962 who falls in love with an Amphibian Man. The Shape of Water is a great film full of wonderful performances ... however, it's the direction and technical elements of this Best Picture winner from 2017 that make it all work so perfectly. Upon rewatch, is it the best film of that year? Download and listen to Jack's take on this film as well as all the other greats from 2017 and hear which film he thinks deserves his Rewatch Oscar.

  • It all started with this one. The first Best Picture winner was also a silent film ... the only completely non-talkie to ever win the top award. Yes, even The Artist (2011) had some words at the film's end. But more importantly, Wings is a great film, from its direction, its incredible combat sequences, and the beautiful Clara Bow, known by everyone back then as the "It Girl". Now, is Director William A. Wellman's epic war film deserving of that Academy Award? Well, check out this episode, in which Jack takes on this query and even compares Wings to all the other greats of that time. Download and listen to this episode and hear his take on this classic to see if he gives it the Rewatch Oscar of 1927/28.

  • This is one of the great films of the last 50 years. Jack analyzes this film in depth, talking about how it came about, as well as themes of authoritarianism. This movie not only has an incredible screenplay and great direction, but the acting is second to none. The question is, did the Academy get it right by honouring One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with the top honour back in 1975, or should another film have taken the Best Picture Oscar.

  • Billy Wilder is one of the greatest directors in cinematic history. Here Jack talks about one of his gems, The Apartment. The screenplay, the direction, the acting, and the cinematography are all remarkable and truly make this film timeless, despite being over 60 years old. Will it be good enough for Jack to give it his top prize as best film of 1960, The Rewatch Oscar? Download and listen to his take on this classic as well as all the other films from that year.
