Film: Schindler's List
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 96%
Coop's Take: A legacy-changing film, from one of the great directors of all time--Schindler's List is a true masterpiece. Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, and Ralph Fiennes give performances unmatched by but a few. Everything I have always believed about film--in terms of potential for story-telling; distribution of a message; the power to invoke anger or confusion or elation--pours out in Schindler's List.
Favorite Acting Scene: Amon Goeth in the wine cellar, where he's battling with his feelings for Helen Hirsch. Ralph Fiennes is first-class in everything I've seen him in (especially The English Patient and The End of the Affair).
Trivia:
