Do Film Students Still Watch this?

This movie used to be a staple in filmmaking classes. Do filmmakers still watch this? I don't find anybody reference anymore. It's very well made and I am surprised in the way it seems to have disappeared.

SF State offers a Film and the Holocaust class. It's one of the few Hollywood films we've watched this semester.

I know I am late on this, but I'm a film student I watched this in film class recently.

I go to NYU for film school and I know of one professor who shows segments of it. Strangely, I've never seen it in film school but was required to watch it for my Holocaust Literature class. I agree, I wish it would be shown more in film schools--I got more out of it from a filmic perspective than I did from a literary perspective.

A friend and I saw this movie when it came out. Simply unforgettable.

Just watched it in 2016. Yes absolutely this should be studied in filmmaking classes. At the very least for editing.
