Patton (1970)
Rewatching Oscar
03/14/25 • 106 min
Biographical films can be incredible ... that is if they delve deep into the main protagonist's character based on their past. Their influences growing up drive who they are and why they became the important figure, we are watching being analyzed on screen. In 1970, there was a larger-than-life war hero, who for better or worse was a strong force for the American effort in defeating the Nazis in WWII. However, George S. Patton ruffled more than a few feathers during the last few years of the war. Franklin J. Schaffner directed this Best Picture winner, Patton, illustrating this macho, no-holds-barred general who helped win a war, but made many enemies on BOTH sides of the battlefield. George C. Scott's legendary performance is what people remember about this Oscar-winning film. However, there is a lot more that can be analyzed about this classic.
After 55 years, does this film still hold up? Does it still deserve the same praise it received when it was first released? Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about Patton, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1970.

The Shape of Water (2017)
Rewatching Oscar
11/24/23 • 71 min
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.

Bonus Episode 8: TIFF2024
Rewatching Oscar
09/20/24 • 67 min
Film critic and historian, Jack Ferdman, loves this time of year! He's a proud Torontonian ... so why wouldn't he love early September? It's not just because of the beauty of fall in his hometown. It's mostly because he goes to his favourite event every year ... The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). And 2024 was no different. It's one of the best events for Cinema in the world. And this year, Jack interacted with many actors, directors, critics, and of course fans, and shared the passion with them (and visa versa) during the 11 days TIFF took place. He also, of course, screened 20 films and, on this bonus episode of Rewatching Oscar, he shares his take on each and every one of those movies, as well as the event itself.
What a ride he had ... as he always does at TIFF. Take a listen!

All the King's Men (1949)
Rewatching Oscar
11/15/24 • 102 min
Here is a film that is eerily similar to what has been happening in the United States political world since 2016. The movie is All the King's Men, a story about greed, corruption, and those who blindly fall prey to those in power. Great direction by Robert Rossen, wonderful acting, and a script based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, launched this film all the way to a Best Picture Oscar victory for 1949? But 75 years later, does it still hold up enough to be regarded as the best film of that
Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about All the King's Men, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1949.

Parasite (2019)
Rewatching Oscar
12/13/24 • 83 min
It took over nine decades for the Academy to award the Best Picture of the year to a foreign language film. And although there were hundreds of brilliant masterpieces that could have won, including eleven other films that were nominated prior to 2019, it was well worth the wait! Parasite is truly a special film full of incredible performances, great direction, a brilliant screenplay, and so many deep themes to analyze. It really is that good. However, 2019 was a great year in cinema. Looking back, did Parasite deserve the Oscar for the top prize?
Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about Parasite, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 2019.

It Happened One Night (1934)
Rewatching Oscar
12/27/24 • 79 min
Romantic-screwball comedies had to start sometime ... and that sometime was early 1934. And there was a film that took Hollywood by storm ... Frank Capra's It Happened One Night. This film is one of only three films to home the Big 5 on Oscar night (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay). So many great scenes, great lines, wonderful direction, and incredible performances by Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert make this movie a true gem of cinema. After 90 years, does this film still stand the test of time? In hindsight, should it still be regarded as the best of 1934?
Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about It Happened One Night, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1934.

Wings (1927/28)
Rewatching Oscar
10/27/23 • 57 min
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.

Titanic (1997)
Rewatching Oscar
01/05/24 • 80 min
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 ...

Rain Man (1988)
Rewatching Oscar
06/30/23 • 58 min
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.
