To commemorate the 25th anniversary release of Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece Schindler’s List, one of the most significant endeavors in the history of cinema, Universal Pictures will re-release the film with picture and sound digitally remastered—including in 4K, Dolby Cinema and Dolby Atmos—for a limited theatrical engagement on December 7, 2018, in theaters across the United States and Canada.
On the heels of last year’s re-release of James Cameron’s Titanic in HDR, this event marks one of the very few times that a film of this magnitude and scope has been remastered in 4K, Dolby Cinema and Atmos. It provides a stunning experience on the big screen, to match the power of the film and its significant themes. This December, audiences can share the experience of a story we must never forget.
“It is difficult to believe that it’s been 25 years since Schindler’s List first arrived in theaters,” said Spielberg. “The true stories of the magnitude and tragedy of the Holocaust are ones that must never be forgotten, and the film’s lessons about the critical importance of countering hatred continue to reverberate today. I am honored that audiences will be able to experience the journey once again on the big screen.”
“We are proud to bring the remastered Schindler’s List, one of the most important movies of the 20th century, to a new generation of filmgoers,” said Ron Meyer, Vice Chairman of NBCUniversal. “The lesson that one person—during one of the darkest chapters in humankind’s history—can make a difference is as relevant now as ever before.”
In advance of the re-release, free educational screenings of the film—coordinated by USC Shoah Foundation—will be available for high-school educators and their students in selected AMC, Regal, Cinemark, Marcus Theatres, Cineplex, Harkins and National Amusements locations in major markets in North America on Tuesday, December 4, and Wednesday, December 5.
“As curators of the world’s largest collection of firsthand accounts about the consequences of hatred, USC Shoah Foundation is uniquely positioned to educate and inspire humanity to counter hate through empathy and action,” said Spielberg, who established the Shoah Foundation after his experiences filming Schindler’s List. “Those who engage with this eyewitness testimony make deeply meaningful connections, develop critical thinking and empathy, and learn to reflect on the choices they can make to counter hatred.”
The top-20 markets that will host the special Schindler’s List school screenings include those in Phoenix, AZ; Los Angeles, CA; Sacramento, CA; San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA; Denver, CO; Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, FL; Orlando, FL; Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; Cleveland, OH; New York City, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX; Washington, DC; Atlanta, GA; Houston, TX; Detroit, MI; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN; and Seattle, WA. Additional markets will be announced soon.
Additional elements of the launch include the new trailer, released today, as well as a forthcoming re-release of the iconic film score by five-time Academy Award®-winning composer John Williams—on the soundtrack from La-La Land Records—which will include never-before-heard material. To further commemorate this historic film, the remastered version of Schindler’s List will be re-released in theatres internationally across select territories in early 2019. The remastered film will also be available in 4K HDR, Dolby Vision and Atmos on home-entertainment platforms subsequent to theatrical release.
This movie is not good & not nearly anywhere near the best movie about WW2. Nor is it even Spielberg's best, very far from it. Films that are better: The Pianist, Son of Saul, Shoah, The Night Porter, Europa Europa.

Moderators, delete the thread.
The film is shit and everybody who thinks otherwise is wrong.

Why does the world need this story “now more than ever”? Maybe I’m cynical, but that strikes me as a particularly cheap political statement to market a film that Spielberg has, to his credit, steadfastly refused to politicize.
Still remember when the movie came out when I was a little kid. My parents went to see it and I was down the hall watching Major League II. Then I was bored out of my mind waiting for Schindler's List to end and having no idea what I was watching at the time.

Considering this movie showed some REAL Holocaust footage & also had at the end The REAL Schindler's list survivors at the end, I'd say this movie was 10 times more impactful & hits the realism more than ANY of those you named.

Shoah was nothing but real people that survived the holocaust. The Pianist was made by someone who witnessed his own family marched to camps and used some of his real story in the movie.

Are those still considered less impactful?
They are good movies but I think Schindler's List was more impactful and just well rounded great on every aspect of film making. Especially when you see the survivors at the end (with no Hollywood glamour added) paying homage to Schindler's grave & let it sink in they are alive & survived that horrific time. The movie as a whole from the music to the pacing & the camera angles is IMO one of the best motion pictures as the art form to grace the cinema. (& not The Last Joke...I mean Jedi as some people have hilariously stated)

Hmm, I find Shoah with its use of real people telling their stories of the Holocaust to be just as impactful. I guess we find ourselves in a difference of what we consider impactful. I for one find both of them impactful .you only find Schindler’s List impactful. That’s fine. Different people with different opinions.
