Some Like it Hot (1959) undoubtedly has one of the best punchlines in cinema history. Even with the lore that remains surrounding this film’s troubled production, and the onset clashes between director Billy Wilder and actress Marilyn Monroe, what shines through and remains timeless is the comedy of this film…
Whether you are an avid fan of Valentine’s day, or believe that it is an arbitrary ‘holiday’ created by the greeting card companies, there is bound to be some sort of ‘romantic’ movie marathon that will appeal to you. No matter how, or if, you plan on celebrating Valentine’s Day this year…
Happy February! It's the coldest, shortest month of the year, and yet there's still so much to celebrate, even in 2021. We here at The Film Rewind have decided to turn up the heat and celebrate Valentine's Day this month with our Film Club pick…
Ever since my first viewing of Modern Times (1936), I have been enraptured by Charlie Chaplin, and with each film that I experience in his filmography, my love grows. From Shoulder Arms (1918) to City Lights (1931), his infusion of comedy and pathos has never failed to both charm and move me. In his Little Tramp character, we see humanity peeking through a veil of suffering…

There's a slight chance that Sarah and I are getting a little antsy for the Halloween season...
With so many theatrical films being postponed and constantly changing their release dates, in some cases even opting for streaming availability in the midst of this pandemic, there is truly little new content for your viewing pleasure at the moment…
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” – Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) This is one of the most famous, and hilarious, understatements in the history of cinema…
Summer is almost here, but since we cannot really go to the beach anyway (what with social distancing and all), here is another reason not to go: Jaws (1975)…
It is that time of year again, graduation season is upon us, but we cannot help but notice the changes and somberness that the pandemic has had upon the usual pomp and circumstance associated with this major life milestone…
In looking ahead at the films being released in theaters this year, I am once again astounded by the number of remakes, sequels, adaptations, and franchise spin-offs that will grace the silver screen. Films like Emma (February 2020), Mulan (March 2020)…
