There's holocaust footage in that one?

Also recommended to add to this list is La Vita e Bella, a/k/a Life Is Beautiful.
I never said I saw those just googled Holocaust movies :P

Are you kidding? I'm seriously wondering, since I thought that's a video about Eichmann capture/trial.

I think I saw it years ago in school. I don't remember if there was footage in it. But it's about the after story of Holocaust, and what happened to one of the biggest nazi's

I wasn't questioning its being listed in that list, I was inquiring whether there was something in that film that I wasn't aware of.

how about kinus.

When the typical (maybe not) american bochur goes to an overseas yeshivah (where it is not holidays on tisha be'ov) he comments "I didn't know it's our minhag to say kinus"!!! or "It's not our minhag" etc.

1. It's not the ethics thread. The OP wasn't asking for hashkafa simply what movies to watch. 2. I don't know what yeshiva's you've been going to. and 3. It is not our minhag to say kinus the entire tisha bi'Av.

What about Whitney Houston, pretty appropriate for mourning? Or something similar, but of course A Capella if you're makpid 'cuz it's the 9 days!

OK, sorry, really should not judge you, each person on their level...

Never saw sleepers. I'll look into it.

If you want a story about WW2 with a happy ending, you may want to look up "Inglorious Basterds".

the House on Geribaldi street  is a great story, and a important consequense for the world of DDF is that Argentina did not let ElAl fly to the country for many years after...............

With the Olympics upcoming and the controversy of the moment of silence, Munich should be a watch or a re-watch.

Inglorious Bastards was awesome! Although IMHO it doesn't belong in the 'holocaust movies must watch' list. Not serious enough.
