Quote: "I could have gotten one more person...and I didn't. And I...I didn't!"

Winning the Oscar for Best Picture in 1993, the films remains to be one of the most depressing and disturbing of the time. We follow the encounters of the German Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) who, with his good heart, miraculously saves thousands of Jews from being killed by the Nazi invasion during World War II. We also meet the absolutely terrible, Amon Geoth, a General with only one passion...death, that Schindler must work with and betray, all in the name of what he knows is right.

OSCAR winner for Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Director (Steven Spielberg), Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay
