From Here to Eternity (1953)

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.
