The Oscar for Best Picture is usually given to films that are epics or biographies. On the rare occasion maybe a western or a thriller. But it is extremely rare for a film that is sweet and somewhat small in scope. But in 2021 there was a film that grabbed the attention of audiences, and film critics got on board as well. That film was Sian Heder's sweet movie about a young girl trying to find herself in a world outside of the confines of her parents and brother who happen to be deaf. That film of course is CODA. It's a movie that has a lot of heart and manipulates your heart ... but in a good way. Do you think that it still deserves to still be regarded as the best of 2021?

Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about West Side Story, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 2021.

The passion of music and choreography in film was never more prevalent than in the Best Picture winner of 1961. West Side Story is a story about love, gangs, cultural wars, and ultimately tragedy. But mostly it's about the music and dance. We remember all the songs ... incredible tunes including Tonight, I Feel Pretty, Officer Krupke, and of course America. They have stood the test of time. We also love the story of two young adults madly in love amidst the turmoil and hate of other cultures within New York between the whites and the Puerto Ricans. However, does this movie hold up over six decades later? Do we still love the movie as a piece of filmmaking the way it was embraced in 1961?

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was a huge game show that started in 1998, and then it became a global phenomenon by around 2005. Soooo .... it isn't surprising that a film that was made based on that show. But no one could have imagined the huge success this small film that had a hard time getting any funding to be made, about that game show in India, and was directed by a white British filmmaker. Slumdog Millionaire is more than just a film about a game show. It's about poverty, class and culture wars, love and destiny. It was a huge winner at the Academy Awards that year, but does this surprise blockbuster still hold up so many years later? Did it, in retrospect, deserve to win the Oscar for Best Picture?

Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about The Best Years of Our Lives, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1946.
