I make no promises and am open to the possibilities. I like to watch movies people recommend, especially when the subject matter interests me. It'll be a couple of weeks. I'm usually good about posting my thoughts on the Last Movie Watched thread on here, although I may have forgotten you recommended it before then.

Films after which you felt like crap
If you’re interested in Holocaust movies, I could recommend more.

Let's start with Grey Zone and work our way towards more later.
SNOW WHITE REMAKE WAS SOO HORRIBLE FELT LIKE CRAP
Btw, I once came across a quote from Rachel Zegler, the star of Snow White, that struck me as odd: “I just mean that it's no longer 1937, and we absolutely wrote a Snow White that's not gonna be saved by the prince, and she's not gonna be dreaming about true love. She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true. And so, it's just a really incredible story for young people everywhere to see themselves in.”
The reason why that quote struck me as odd is because Hollywood already made that live-action Snow White movie; it was called Snow White and the Huntsman. That was a good movie. I’ll bet it’s a lot better than the new Disney version.
No problem. Just let me know. I’ve spent the better part of three decades reading about the Holocaust and watch most Holocaust movies that I can lay my hands on. I’ve reviewed another Holocaust movie on this site.

Sounds like a good plan. I did request Grey Zone except it's not due back until April 19... Maybe offer up one or two? There's no guarantee the library will have them but I can look.

I would also recommend these films. It might be better to do a short list in case some or most of them aren’t available in your library system:
1.Defiance
2.Europa Europa
3.Inglourious Basterds
4.Jacob the Liar (1974 East German version directed by Frank Beyer); stay away from the 1999 American version starring Robin Williams)
5.The Pawnbroker
6.The Pianist
April 19 you say? That’s interesting. April 19 was the day the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began. It just so happens that I posted a review of Jon Avnet’s TV movie about the 1943 revolt:

I've seen Defiance, Inglourious Basterds, and Pianist. I found Jacob the Liar on Kanopy. And the library has The Pawnbroker and it's readily available so I sent a request for it.
I’m not surprised that you saw those three. They’re fairly popular. I’m sure very few Americans have seen the East German version of Jacob the Liar; if they’ve seen any version, it’s likely the crappy American version with Robin Williams. Forgot to mention that you should watch Uprising, the movie I reviewed. I should warn you that The Pawnbroker is fairly depressing. Not as much as The Grey Zone but more than Schindler’s List.

I'll check out the East German version first. I can look for Uprising too. We'll see how Pawnbroker goes. It needs yet to get to the library, which only takes a few days.
Btw, if you haven’t seen it, stay away from The Reader. It’s pretty dumb.

Have you seen Night and Fog (1956)? That one will make a person feel physically ill.

I saw Night and Fog in high school. The only scene I remember was of some guy bulldozing a bunch of corpses. Pretty disturbing stuff.

I saw this with my mom. She had to watch it for its depiction of PTSD.

The Cremator is another excellent Holocaust-set movie bound to make you feel like scum afterwards. It's a Czech New Wave movie with an all-time great performance by Rudolf Hrusinsky.
