Bear in mind that I'm only posting this because I have an compulsive need to make film lists and share them, but feel free to answer it anyway. Mine are:
1. The Great Dictator (Charles Chaplin)
2. The Garden of the Finzi-Continis (Vittorio De Sica)
3. The Last Metro (Francois Truffaut)
4. Au revoir les enfants (Louis Malle)
5. The Pianist (Roman Polanski)
And no, I don't think that Schindler's List belongs on this list, the same way that I don't think Steven Spielberg should be allowed near a camera. It's conventional, Hollywood and soulless, and filled with unreasonable, self-hoisted platitudes. A film that has no sensibilities toward the actions of its characters and no soul to coincide with its occasional passionate moments.

Um, hello, I don't watch Schindler's List.
Seriously, that bugs the hell out of me. I literally spend hours anaylyzing films and trying to write informed and objective opinions, and then people just come along and say (in what I'm sure is an annoying tone of voice), "Nuh-uh, you're wrong!"

Really? The things depicted in The Passion of the Christ actually happened? I would love to see your historical evidence...
But back to the point, what does that have to do with the quality of the film? Here, I'll answer my own question: not a goddamn thing.

The Godfather is my No.1 all-time favorite Movie. The Untouchables No.2 (gets overlooked as a Mob movie really) Goodfellas at No.3. and its one of my favorite of all-time movies so have to go Pulp Fiction No.4 would count as a Mob related technically speaking. The Godfather II at No 5. rounding out though would be Reservoir Dogs Casino Scarface A History of Violence Donnie Brasco Worst mob movie of alltime to me: Tom Hanks-Road to Perdition. And The Departed I still have not watched all the way through, just hasnt pulled me in yet. Now No Country for Old Men is kind of a borderline movie that can almost go as a Mob Movie. Is a favorite but I'll leave it off for the purpose of this list.

But you forget the things like what was depicted in Schindler's List did actually happen. Just like when people were offended by The Passion of The Christ, that really happened. So what's your deal????

Sorry - Schindler's List was an amazing film. If you don't like it, don't watch it. I don't like all of Spielberg's stuff, but I do think Schindler's List was something special.

I love the Pianist. I also really like The Devil's Arithmetic. Kirsten Dunst and some other chick is in it.

Schindler's List is a great film. How can you say it's not?
