Does anyone know of any other movies like this? I really enjoyed this, it was extremely moving and heartbreaking.
I know of a couple of Ann Frank movies and Schindler's List. If anybody can help me out, I'd appreciate. Thanks in advance!
There was a miniseries in the 70's titled "Holocaust", mainly about the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto.
TV? Who wants to see us on TV? Look at him, he's ugly!
"Fateless", a movie from a teenage boy's point of view. All the reviews said it was "brave" and "nonsentimental." It came out last year, is based on a book, and is in Hungarian (with subtitles)...I imagine it would be out on DVD by now.
"Fighter" is another independently made Holocaust movie, a documentary about survivors re-visiting the camps and the memories of the horror.
Actually (IIRC), "Holocaust" was a multi-threaded mini-series (that first aired in 1978 on ABC in the US) that tried and, for the most part, succeeded in portraying all facets of the Holocaust focusing mainly on two Jewish brothers' experiences in that disaster. IIRC, there was an episode where one of the brothers either took part in the Warsaw Uprising or smuggled arms and supplies into the Ghetto. You were probably thinking about "Uprising", a NBC mini-series that aired in 2001 and did focus on the 1943 uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto.
A good, recent movie dealing with the Holocaust is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas--it should be coming out on DVD soon. I recommend that you watch this one and keep a box of Kleenix handy.

If we die... it will be for GLORY, not gold.
"The Last Days" - It is told by 5 survivors (and a few other outside characters) about what happened to them and their families while in the concentration camps. It's a touching film.
shareThis is NOT a movie to be 'enjoyed'.....it should be watched but not 'enjoyed'.
shareSchindler's List, The Pianist and The Grey Zone are, I think, the greatest three dramatic films on the subject. Many of the others are either flawed or atrocious.

"Bent" has a specific point of view (gay man), so as long as that doesn't bother you, it's a very good movie involving the concentration camps.

Bent also has Mick Jagger singing a song about the fall of Berlin as a drag queen that totally rocks!

shareYeh, I was looking for more Holocaust movies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Holocaust_films
This list is pretty solid, something to be starting with.
Schindler's List is a movie you gotta see if you haven't already

Not technically Holocaust though. That said the Nazis killed not only the Jews and this film shows how they slaughtered entire villages in Belarus during the war.
The UK DVD has some brutal archive footage of whole streets full of dead bodies frozen in the snow. Pretty gruesome stuff.

Everything everybody else here mentioned, and then Night and Fog, The Pianist, Shoah (9.5 hours, be warned), and Judgment at Nuremburg (almost 4 hours, be warned).
shareI'd recommend Triumph Of The Spirit with Willem Defoe as a Greek Olympic boxer sent to Auschwitz and made to fight other inmates in boxing matches to survive. It's superb.
