Bing Crosby was the biggest star both in music and in film of the 1940s.  Going My Way put him on an even higher level of popularity.  The film earned him the Best Actor Oscar, which was the first of three nominations in his acclaimed career.  His charm, his demeanor, and of course his beautiful voice, was a huge reason for the movie's success. However, has the movie stood the test of time? Does it still resonate with people after 80 years?  Does it still deserve to be regarded as the best film of 1944?

Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about Going My Way as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1944 to.

Many great films came out in 1978 ... several because  Hollywood began to tell stories of what soldiers experienced both during the Vietnam war that had just ended a few years before, and also how they dealt with coming home.   The Deer Hunter was one of those films.  Director and screenwriter Michael Cimino created a layered, powerful, and very raw film about three men dealing with this situation.  The performances are incredible and it's incredible technically. However, looking back, did The Deer Hunter deserve the Oscar for Best Picture? 

Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about The Deer Hunter as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1978 to.

The year 2020 was a very strange one ... for all of us.  The world for all intents and purposes, felt like it was put on pause. COVID-19 was really the only thing on our minds.  And because of it, even movie theatres and the film industry as a whole struggled.   Filmmakers began making films that were more personal, more meaningful, ones that represented how we felt as a society during these trying times.  Nomadland was one of those films that struck a chord with many, and definitely with the Academy.  A story of people, referred to as Nomads, trying to find themselves after suffering the post-2008 economic crisis.  The film is moving, provocative, and definitely visually stunning. However, in retrospect, deserving of the top award for 2020 at the Academy Awards.  If now, what was the best film of that year? Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on 2020, and hear what film he would give the Rewatch Oscar of 2020 to.

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.
