1993 ***** 196 mins.
Steven Spielberg went above and beyond his usual filmmaking style in making this superb drama about Oskar Schindler, a man of the Nazi party who learns the real horrors of being a Jew during World War II. It is a pleasure to watch this man as he goes from a suave womanizer to a man with a deep heart who tries to help over 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust. This is Spielberg as he should be.
