Steven Spielberg, 1993
Spielberg's best movie ever.
He had something big to say, and he said it!
Powerful performances from Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley and Ralph Fiennes.
Black and white.
One of John Williams's best soundtracks also.
The standout feature is how Spielberg never wavers from the authenticity or integrity of the book - we are given a factual account of the incidents in Warsaw through the war, and the film soars with Schindler's monologues at the end...the tears begin to flow with the real-life characters appearing to lay small stones on Schindler's grave at the end of the movie.
If you only ever see one movie about the Holocaust/WW2, make sure this is the one.
10/10.
