By far Spielberg's best movie.

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 1999)

"Schindler's list" ranks in two categories of films: The best movies in cinema history as well as in that category of movies whose subject is what people want to see transfered to the screen. What I mean by that is this: The story of "Schindler's list" is how a Nazi works against the rest of the Nazis by making sure that all the Jewish people he can find will not be killed in concentration camps but work in his factory instead. In other words, it's an anti-war and anti-Nazi movie. And it's great.
Liam Neeson is excellent as Oskar Schindler, the one Nazi who doesn't want to see the Jewish people persecuted during WWII. Ben Kingsley is very good as well as Iztak Stern, the Jewish man who Schindler employs to run the factory. However, Ralph Fiennes performance is absolutely masterful. His role is a crazy Nazi officer in charge of a concentration camp and he does a great job at it. In fact, I believe he should have won best supporting-actor in "Schindler's list".
Moving, touching, and incredibly realistic, this based on a true story movie is a true gem and honor for cinema history and it's quite understandable that it is found among practically every movie-buff's top ten list. It also has the great advantage of having been directed by another one of the masters, Steven Spielberg. You've got to see it.
