In my Opinion...

Schindler's List is phenominal compared to Saving Private Ryan in everyway.

Schindlers list all the way..

YOu can't compare those two movies. They're totally different

um yes you can...saving private ryan all the way...quit tryin to be politicly correct and say schindlers list. It's obvious pyro has an anti-american agenda.

I myself liked SPR, but Schindlers list was a ton better.

I never liked SPR, in my opinion it portrayed the Rangers and Paras as a bunch of damn n00bs at the end:

"oh look, 20mm cannon coming, let's stay on this DEAD tiger and wait to get blown up" annoy:


and of course the new dreaded "Panzer" type tank that they invented has now infected most WWII games and the lexicon of dumbass gamers.

Where do you get that everything is about being anti-american? Who says I didn't like watching SPR? I do not believe it is even remotly close to being the best war movie of all time though.

Why is it always being politically correct or something. Am I not allowed to have an opinion about two movies of which I think is better? I don't even know what you mean by saying that anyone who says Schindler's List is just doing it to be politcally correct. You're trying to make your choice for us. I asked with is better, you're making it seem like it's wrong to choose differently.

You really have issues.

Re: In my Opinion...

Re: In my Opinion...
 

I hate vin diesal. Doens't make SPR a bad movie though. Just saying SL is better, much better.

Re: In my Opinion...
 

Lol did you cheer when he got sniped?

Re: In my Opinion...
 

He finally got his come uppings

uppance...

Yeah, I liked SPR more, but Schindler's List was awesome too. Different films, though.

...and Vin Diesel gets owned. I love that scene.

Lol I didnt even know he was in that movie till he EXPLODED onto the scene with fast and the crappy oOo: (both of which im glad i have never seen)

Experinced Germans from the westren front, use to ambushes in towns, walking into an abush is a town... hmm

Sure, SPR had some nice scenes... but it was pretty shiity.

spr was more hollywood-esc of a movie.

shindlers list was way more dramatic and doesnt try to glorify anything.

i didnt even know who the fuck vin diesel was when i first saw spr, i liked him

but haha i think its funny if someone cheers when he gets pwnt by teh snipez0r

I must say one benefit to SPr was definatly Tom Hanks.

Though Liam Nieson is exceptional as well.

These movies dont really have much in common except that speilbergo directed it and its set in ww2. but if i had to make a choice on which on to watch, i would watch saving privat ryan. if i had to vote on which one is better, i would say schindlers list.

SL was one of those movies that made step back and see what life is really about. Its not about becoming wealthy and rich and powerful all the time. Sometimes its about caring about other people in the world and coming to the realization that doing whats best for you and whats best for other human beings are not always the same thing and you may have to put a little back in the system to live with yourself. One of the most emotional parts was at the end when he wish he could have done more and he was a true man and a good person. Damn fine movie. Was this a true story?

Portrayed the ss as noobs as well. Oh look 2 americans firing a .30 cal machine gun from that 6 foot wide hole, lets all just walk like tards into the fire oOo:

I will say Schindler's List, A film about the germans point of view, and it actaully shows a good idea of what happened during the holocaust.

That reminds me, I gotta pick it up on DVD soon

How can you compare two different types of movies?

i know this is sad, but i havent seen schindlers list since i was real little, so i dont really remember it and i dont even know what it is about really. ive aslways wanted to watch it, but i dont know what it is about. can someone care to explain without bitcing and saying:

YOU HAVENT SEEN SL YET?!?!?

thanks

SL all the way.

SPR was good but... come on. It's doesn't compare to the masterpiece that is SL.

I too have not seen it...I will have to pick it up on dvd..sounds like a good movie from your comments..all i know is that its in black and white except some girl in red

havent seen Schindler's List so i am going to spr

The Pianist. Now that was a very sad but "good" movie. during the first hour or so i wanted to jump into the movie and kill all those fucking nazi bastards. espically when those SS fags thew that old man in the wheelchair out the window. or when that jewish girl asked "Where are you taking us?" and got shot in the head. also the part when the SS officer told those 9 jews to lay down on the ground, he shot 8 of them with his luger. when he got to the 9th one he was out of ammo, so he had to reload, while the 9th jew was just laying there knowing his fate... then the officer shot him in the head. its soo fucked up its not even funny. Everybody should watch "The Pianist" atleast once.

I love bobby the kitten.

Yes, Schindler's list is heavily based on the actual event that transpired with Oskar Schindler and his attempt to save innocent lives after viewing the inhumanity of the Holocaust.

I voted for Schindler's List, because it is one of the few movies that makes you think. Not only that, there are many examples of symbolism in the movie, which exercise your mid and allow you to interpret what each means and how it contributes to the movie as a whole. I also think that it is honorable that Schindler's List does not rely solely on shock value to get the point across. The majority of the movie focuses on the story of Oskar Schindler, not the living conditions and atrocities committed in the death camps. Yes, there are some violent and degrading scenes, but most of the violence is emotional rather than physical.

Schindler's List is not exactly the kind of movie that you would want to sit down and watch for entertainment purposes alone, but the experience you get out of it makes up for it not being your typical movie. The story is great, the atmosphere is great, the symbolism is great, anad the main theme piece that is played is one of the deepest pieces John Williams has ever done. This all adds up to make Schindler's List one of the top ten movies of all time, in my opinion.

I dont think no other film has ever portrayed man's inhumanity to a fellow man than Schindler's list.

And my favourite quote from the movie:

"True power is having every means to pass out justice and not doing so. That is true power".

Heh, same here. He seems to be in every other movie nowadays, but I haven't seen one of them.

The Pianist was really good too. I would watch it over SPR.

i have the pianist that was a gooood movie

Two totally different movies. The only simularities are that they are based in the same time peroid. That's like comparing Ghostbusters with My Little Pony. With that being said, I'd choose SPR, because I'm more of a war-buff, than a holocaust buff.
