On with the Top 10! This week, our heroes are examining the youngest of the films on the top 10.  "SCHINDLER'S LIST" is the retelling of a portion of the 2oth century's darkest hour.  Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, and Ralph Fiennes, Schindler's List is the story of Oskar Schindler and the 1100 people who we now refer to as the "Schindler Jews". It's one of those "Sophie's Choice"/"Saving Private Ryan" episodes, so prepare yourself for a little bit less tomfoolery than usually clutters up Mass Moviecide. To visit The Shoah Foundation (founded by Steven Spielberg as a direct result of his work on Schindler's List) go to: USC Shoah Foundation Institute
