01. SCHINDLERS LIST (1993)
The definitive film on the holocaust must be
Schindlers List, with its roots based in the true story of Oskar Schindler who becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce in Poland after the rise of the Nazi party. The story packs a weighty punch as the previously scrupulous Schindler becomes an unlikely humanitarian hero. All of the important elements of filmmaking work in perfect unison to create a beautifully balanced film that will remain with audiences forever. Director
Steven Spielberg works his usual magic to create a compelling film that is resplendent with raw emotion, narrative suspense and striking imagery. Not only the most definitive film on Nazism and the plight of the Jewish community during WWII, Schindlers List is simply a classic of cinema that everybody should ensure they watch at least once in our lives. Its with films like this that the phrase lest we forget has never rung more true.
