Summary: Who cares about the DVD's flaws?
Review: I mean seriously, if you'd stop b*tch*ng about the extras or the disc or 'manufacturing errors' (which I saw none of), then you'd see that this is a beautiful masterpiece that will be treasured by all forever.Schindler's List is as moving as The Passion of the Christ.

Summary: SUGAR-COATED HOLOCAUST ON CHEAPO DVD
Review: Stephen Spielberg's sugar-coated holocaust story, carefully calculated to be an Oscar© contender in the same year as his big popcorn hit "Jurassic Park," arrives in a cheap non-sealing cardboard flip-case and a two-sided disc with no significant extras.

Summary: Manufacturer Error
Review: This is a wonderful movie, one of the best made, but the DVD has some problems. This first copy I bought froze up towards the end of chapter 16. I returned this copy and received another one which happens to freeze in the exact same spot. Neither copy had any surface scratches. Has anyone else noticed this problem?

Summary: One fine movie in the crippled form
Review: An excellent and long-waited movie finally released on DVD by Universal Pictures. Movie itself - 5 stars,
disc and case - 1 star: flipper disc (probably has the historical value), crappy paper case (obviously made using the gluestick and scissors), missing title list or booklet, poor list of extras. I bought my DVD disc from Amazon.com hence there`s no need to think that I received some kind of the Estonian DVD version. Yeah, nice work Universal, putting the movie on the flipper disc. It`s really pleasant that we don`t have to buy the movie in the two separate cases released in different months. Or even years. P.S. Maybe the look of the package is intentional? I mean - to make it look like it's handmade by the survivors of the concentration camps? If so, please keep the buyers informed, just to make sure that they`ve not been cheated.

Summary: Glad to have it, packaging or not!
Review: I am shocked to hear how everyone is reeling over the packaging
of this dvd. I have over 430 dvds and am a stickler for packaging myself. I think it looks wonderful, and I am most happy to finally have this masterpiece in the library. Oskar Schindler was an amazing man who risked alot to save these Jews.
He had a heart of gold and was a diamond in the rough being involved with the Nazis. If there was ever a good Nazi. Oskar
Schindler's compassion prevailed in the face of pure evil. I know there have to be more gentiles out there who risked life and limb to save other Jews as well that you never hear of. I would love hear their stories. If I had been alive in Europe during this atrocity, I know I would have done everything possible to do the same. Where are these unsung heroes??? Angels are everywhere. In all forms. The documentary of the survivors on the disc is wonderful. The firsthand stories of these survivors are inspirational and should be seen by everyone. To see all of the real descendents of "Schindlerjuden" at the end of the film just makes you sob your eyes out. Over 6,000 descendents from 1,100 people is a miracle in itself. God bless Oskar Schindler. What an amazing humanitarian of the finest kind.

Summary: Low rating owing to the packaging
Review: This is truly a great film. Therefore, the fact that THIS film is on a DVD where the viewer has to stop and turn the DVD over halfway through the movie is not only unnecessary but beyond comprehension. I thought those days were long since gone! (One of the reasons I was looking forward to the DVD was so that I would not have to stop halfway through the movie and switch out VHS tapes!) And I'll agree with everyone else: the "extras" are disappointing.

Summary: Spielberg gave E.T. better treatment than this
Review: I simply cannot fathom why Spielberg would allow his masterpiece to be given such a shallow exhibition. E.T. was enshrined compared to this. The best thing I can say for it is its physically smaller than my version on laserdisc.

Summary: 5-star movie with 1-star packaging
Review: As others have observed, the packaging for this movie is abominable. Furthermore, the extras are nowhere near what is expected of such a monumental work of cinema. No commentary, no trailers; Finding Nemo had better extras than this DVD. I really enjoy this film, but it deserved better than this.

Summary: Also irate over packaging
Review: Putting a five-star film in a minus five-star flipper format with inadequate packaging sends me the message that Universal has done all it can do to ensure that we scratch up this DVD enough, or that it gets dust-laden enough, that we are forced to rebuy down the road. My suspicion is that someone has some wondrous "new" format (like a sensible two-disk set in a keeper case) waiting in the wings, ready to (not) dazzle those of us who bought the film in its initial DVD release. The present format has resulted in a greatly disappointed audience, and as an earlier reviewer suggested, Universal should at least offer free keeper cases with title insert for those of us who prefer to keep our DVDs in good, clean condition so that we do NOT have to rebuy them down the road. (As a matter of note, the copy of SL that I bought was actually loaded with dust and, somehow, marked with fingerprints when I opened it! As I had been so eager for this purchase, I bought that copy at a local store, and fortunately was able to get an exchange.)

Summary: Pathetic
Review: Steven, Money God, Spielberg should be ashamed. What a horrible way to rip off fans of this movie with this cheaply designed dvd. I lose more respect for that man with each passing moment.
