Rewatching Oscar

SEVENTY years ago this movie dominated Hollywood and the Academy Awards.  It is a drama disguised as a war film.  From Here to Eternity is a movie that took home a boatload of Oscars back in 1953.  All the performances are incredible and the direction, editing, and cinematography is first rate.   But it's the story that really pulls you in.  The question is did it deserve to win best picture that year.  Were the other four nominees as goo, or even better.  Was there a film (including all the great foreign language movies) that came out in 1953 better than From Here to Eternity.  Download and tune in to hear Jack Ferdman's take on it.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences loves to talk and pay respects to actors and films from a bygone era.  They had a huge opportunity to do so by honouring The Artist, a film that pays homage to the silent film era.  It won Best Picture beating out many greats of 2011.  The question is, even though stylistically it was close to perfect, giving us a look that even Chaplin would be proud of, does it hold up today and in retrospect deserve the top prize?  Film Critic Jack Ferdman has a lot to say about that.  Also, he delves into many films from 2011 and shares with us what film movie if not The Artist, deserves the top prize.

There are films that deserve the Best Picture award and there are films that are just movies that shocked us that they even got nominated ... and then there are films like Driving Miss Daisy.  Wow! How could this small, cute, Hallmark-type film, be regarded as the best movie of 1989 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences?  Who knows the real reason?  Jack Ferdman has a lot to say about this film and why it won.  Which film actually did deserve the top prize at the Oscars that year?  There are so many to choose from. Tune in and listen to his take on who deserves his coveted Rewatch Oscar.

This film started the mega-ensemble cast craze.  But Grand Hotel is more than just 5 huge stars, led by the incomparable Greta Garbo  It not only won the Oscar for Best Picture of that year over nine decades ago, but it was also cinema's biggest box office draw. The fans loved it, and the Academy honoured it, but how does it hold up all these years later?  Does it deserve to be regarded as the best of that year?  Listen to what Jack says about Grand Hotel and all the other greats that stood out.  Who will take home his coveted Rewatch Oscar?

It's one of the big years and films in Academy Awards history ... 1965.  Jack Ferdman dives into this big year and the legendary film that won the big prize, The Sound of Music.  This classic stayed in theatres upon its initial release for almost 4 years!!  It was the biggest box office winner of all-time surpassing Gone With the Wind. However, after almost 6 decades later, does it deserve to be regarded as the best of that year. Well, Jack analyzes not only The Sound of Music, but also tons of greats of that year and hands out his coveted Rewatching Oscar to his choice for best of that year.  Download and listen to his take on cinema in 1965.

Well, it's time for film critic, Jack Ferdman, to go back 35 years and dive head-first into the movies that rocked us in 1988.  Ok, not every movie was great that year. However, most of us saw and loved the Academy Award winner from that year, Rain Man.  Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise definitely moved us with the story of two brothers reuniting after the death of their father.  Hoffman won the Oscar for Best Actor, and the film was a box-office smash! But does the film hold up all these years later?  As always, Jack has his take on everything film related, including if Rain Man is still worthy of the Best Picture Oscar, or if another great from that year deserves the Rewatch Oscar. Download and listen to Jack's analysis of this classic.

Who says low-budget smaller films can't win the big one? Well, this film proved all those naysayers wrong!  Marty, this tiny engine of a film, with tons of heart, won the Best Picture Oscar way back in 1955.  It's a special film that Jack delves into in this episode. It won the big prize back then, but will the great direction, amazing acting, and Oscar-winning screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky be enough to have Jack give it the Rewatch Oscar of 1955?  Well, tune in and find out.

Jack is back!!  After a long nine-month hiatus dealing with the highs and lows of life (don't worry, he will share with all of you what happened), Rewatching Oscar returns! And wow ... what a film to return with.  One of the best films to win Best Picture in recent memory. No Country For Old Men, the winner of the 2007 Oscar, leaves a mark on all of us that never seems to go away.  From the direction, the cinematography, the screenplay, and the acting, Jack talks about it all.  This one-of-a-kind movie has it all, but was it deserving of the top prize at the Academy Awards that year?  Tune in and find out what Jack thinks!

Here is a movie that is so powerful and so devastating to watch that it haunts for days after you see it.  Jack has seen this film several times and had to endure another screening so he could share his thoughts with all the cinefiles out there.  Platoon is one of the great war films ever made.  It is emotional. It is raw.  There are many incredible films that have won the Best Picture Oscar over the 93 years since its inception. However, there are a select few of those winning movies that are truly special.  Films that not only stand the test of time but also that have a special place in our hearts.  Platoon is one of those films.  The 1986 winner has it all: great acting, an amazing script, amazing direction, and a score that puts a perfect bow on it all.  Download and listen to Jack's analysis of this classic as he delves deeper into this sports film that's far from being only about sports.  Does Jack believe it deserves his Rewatch Oscar?  Listen and find out.

This film may be 75 years old, but the topic of antisemitism still resonates today.  Daryl F. Zanuck brought to the screen a story about a writer who goes undercover as a Jew to find out what it's like to live a life where you are hated for the reason of your religion.  Listen to Jack's take on this classic from 1947. Will it win his Rewatch Oscar? If not, what film does he think was the best of that year.  Tune in and find out.
