Summary: Undescribable, Breathtaking, Compelling, Divine!!!!!
Review: A movie that must be seen by everyone who is anyone! A wonderful portrayl of the horrors of the Holocaust. The moment I saw this video it became my favorite, and has stayed my favorite. The emotional appeal grabs you and it won't let go. Never have I truly realized the pain and suffering the Jews and others went through, the undescribable horror, and the will of man to live on. Watching this movie I have gained a wonderful respect for those who risked their lives to save that of another. "He who saves one life, saves the world entire."

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST SPEILBERG MOVIE TO DATE IN MY OPINION!!!
Review: I saw SCHINDLER"S LIST and I was the most moved that I'd had ever been watching a film. The movie captures the holocaust as well as any film that has told it's story before it also LIAM NESSON is great as is RALPH FINNEAS who they play I won't give away just watch and find out and you'll see what I mean. This movie is a must see for anyone including older kids I know I'll never forget it.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: Schindlers List elevates the art of movie making to a new benchmark. Everything about the movie from the script to the acting, the casting, background music, sets, and of course the story are the best I have ever seen. Way beyond powerful this riveting movie is a true classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: everyone should see this movie at least once.
Review: This is an excellent movie. You don't even notice it is in black and white after the first few minutes. It should be required viewing for everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most well-made movie I've ever seen.
Review: Well made, Steven Spielberg has out done himself with re-creation of the horrors of the Holocaust. His representation of the inhumanities indured by the inhabitants of the concentration camps was disturbingly realistic. There is no other movie made that portrays that era so clearly from the eyes of the criminals and the victims. His research of the topic is clearly extensive and it shows in the his finished product.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unbelievably powerful.
Review: Spielberg has crafted a masterpiece. The story, though, is what makes the movie special. The idea that even amongst the deepest depths of evil, the human spirit can shine. The juxtaposition of good and evil -- true evil -- is more explicit, and more real, in Schindler's List than in any other film I have seen. As depressing as the graphically portrayed atrocities are, one is swept after watching the film by a feeling of pride and a renewed confidence in our fellow man.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Film of the 1990's.
Review: I can't write a review of this without tearing up even now. I just watched the video last night (I've seen it several times) after an incident this week made me consider it again. First, I watched The Truman Show, which had a tagline review of "The Best Film of the Decade." Now, although it was very very good, compared to this one it just can't hold claim to the title. Schindler's List has the best performance by an actor that I've seen yet this decade (Liam Neeson) and the most truly horrible and evil villain in a film(Ralph Fiennes' Amon Goeth) I've seen yet. This movie does something that no other film I've seen yet does - it makes you mourn. Not simple sadness but a mourning of the past evils that humanity has inflicted upon itself. Schindler's List is what films are supposed to do - entertain, inform, and stimulate thought. No other film this decade has done so like this one. Future generations may wonder what was significant about the filmmaker Steven Spielberg. I consider myself lucky that I live in his time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly...A Gift
Review: This review refers to "Schindler's List - Collector's Widescreen Gift Set"(DVD)...

Well over a year ago, long before The DVD editions were released, I wrote a review of this wonderful film. It's a film that goes beyond the awards and beyond any meaning a 5 star review has. It was one of the most moving expereinces one can have from a cinematic work. I don't usually go in for the "gift sets", and most of the time the special features is not what I base my buying decisions on when shopping for a DVD. When I saw what was offered in the "Schindler's List" Gift Set, and at such a reasonable price, I knew I had to have it. So this review will concentrate on just that..this marvelous package deal.

The set includes a beautifully transfered edition of the film to DVD. The film looks immaculate. The black and white images are sharp and clear. The sound gives you the choice of DD5.1 or DTS 5.1. I viewed it in the DTS..and wow...fabulous surround sound. It may also be viewed in French(DD5.1) and Spanish(DD5.1). There is English captioning and subtitles in Spanish and French as well. The disc is two sided and must be turned over about half way through the film. There are also several very informative bonus features found on Side B of the Disc(see buying info for complete list). The music for this film, composed by John Williams is a very big and emotional part of this film. The CD of the Soundtrack is also among the gifts in this package. It sounds wonderful on the stereo as you relive all the moments of the film. So already this package is well worth it for those who love this film.

There's more...A hardcover book with 70 pages of stirring images of the film, another 6 pages of productions notes, and a foward by Steven Spielberg is included. Keep looking, you'll also find an Actual Film Frame from "Schindler's List", a certificate of authenticity, and it all comes exquistly packaged in a plexiglass case(DVD and CD in their own beautiful case), with names from 'the list' engraved on it.

This Gift Set truly is just that... it is filled with the most wonderful gifts for those that have been so touched by this cinematic work of art depicting a man who defines the word human, during one of the most horrifying chapters in world history. I usually recommend going with the less expensive editions for those not interested in all the frills, but not in this case. This is a must have.

For those looking for a summary of the film itself, there are many wonderful reviews here. If you would like to read mine, you have to go back a ways, as it was written on March 7, 2003.

Thank you...and enjoy this great treasure....Laurie
