    Haven't heard of any of those. But then again I can't stand watching any Holocaust movies.

    Someone told me he's watching Schindler's List but I don't like that there's a romantic subplot... better avoided on Tisha Bav.

    (The Pianist is a very powerful film about the Holocaust, but can't remember how significant the love-interest aspect was)

    I'm trying to stay away from movies today altogether, trying to grow up a bit.

    Easy fast!

    auror-
    yes the pianist is a good holocaust movie. i dont remember a romantic element.
    yes, its better not to watch a movie on tisha b'av but sometimes it helps.

    I saw Schindler's List. Not watching it again, way too traumatic. I don't watch tragic movies period. Regret ever watching Schindler's List.

    Moshe: I'm with you on that one. I don't like sad/tragic/scary/horror movies.
