4. Schindler's List
There are few movies that are so emotionally riveting, extremely true, disturbing, and depressing and yet still be one of the most heartwarming films of all time. Schindler's List achieves this emotional rollercoaster and if you watch this film, you too will experience an emotional rollercoaster while watching the film, so be sure to have tissues next to you for the entirety of the film.
The film tells the story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved the lives of more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories. The movie revolves around ,not only Oskar Schindler, but many of the Jewish people affected by Oskar Schindler and the Jewish that live in the Nazi concentration camps.
This movie is worth living for due to many factors. For one, it deals with a subject that is arguably one of the most historically significant eras in the world. This film tackles the subject with a very real tone. It does not shy away from graphic images and heart wrenching tales of children being taken from there parents only to be killed. It is what this world needs: truths. Also, this film illustrates the "good of man" along with the "evil of man," both to show the capabilities that every person has in this world and to show the extremes that people could go to using their attributes. It is a moving teaching tool; a field lesson to show peoples' mistakes made in the past to keep them from repeating. Because of the emotion, the lesson, and the subject matter of the film, Schindler's List makes it on my list of Top 5 Movies.Schindler's List Official Trailer
