The "Greats" Debate

Every art form has its classics. Cinema is no different. But when it comes to classic Jewish film, does everyone agree on the presumed greats? As you might imagine, when it comes to movies (and especially Jewish movies), no two opinions are the same. For our latest podcast episode, hosts Sara and Brad engage in the sometimes messy but always lively debate on Jewish "greats": which Jewish stories from Hollywood may not actually hold up under scrutiny as canonical screen masterpieces. It’s deeply personal. It's highly subjective. And, it’s a source of cathartic fun to surface all-time favorite Jewish films and filmmakers, while also venting over those that might be considered overrated.
