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.

I never said those movies were not impactful at all, Just that I find Schindler's List to be the most impactful of them. & the OP was saying the movie basically sucked...which I have not met anyone in person who has seen the movie to say that at all. Don't misunderstand me.

The ring scene at the end is my favorite (& saddest) part when you fathom that a ring could have saved the lives of 5 or 6 more people. That concept to me is extremely deep when you consider how easily Jews were killed by soldiers like someone kills a fly & have someone who has the epiphany of almost the exact opposite, how easy it would have been to save more lives...& that regret of not doing more.
