You know, with documentaries on the actual MAKING OF THE FILM, score featurette, interviews with Spielberg on MAKING OF THE FILM, etc.
Discuss!
(The Shoah Foundation extras that we currently have is nice, but not exactly movie-related.)
Will a Special Edition DVD of Schindler's List ever be released?

We don't know anything about the extras yet, do we?
By the way, I'd love to see a making of the film... but maybe that will never be released.

Pretty sure I remember an article about this. Spielberg was the one who stopped any kind of "bonus features" being attached to this film because he felt it was inappropriate given the subject matter. I understand his reasoning and personally think it's the right choice.

Well, yes, I understand that... but still, almost 20 years after the movie was released, I'd like to know about the making of the film too. (Tastefully done, needless to say.)
Kinda like SPR the Special Edition!

From what is known, there's a lot of backstage material that was filmed on the set (in gorgeous black&white). A few of that material has been used back then for EPK reels distributed to broadcast TV channels for promotional/news purposes. I still should have somewhere on an old VHS tape a 30min. featurette that was aired on local public television here in 1993, with interviews with Spielberg, Neeson and a few of the survivors. BBC UK also made a special feature with an exclusive interview with Spielberg, if I remember well.
It's true Spielberg doesn't want to capitalize on this particular film, but it's likely we'll see something on the upcoming Blu-ray release however, probably a brand new making-of documentary produced by Bouzereau with interviews at cast & crew.
If you want a really good making-of piece about Schindler's List, read this wonderful book written by a Polish journalist who followed closely the shooting of the whole film:

"It's still baffling to me. I sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and do my best... The remarkable thing is that my music is heard by billions of people." --John Williams
"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

That'd be fantastic!
And I am hoping we will get a Special Edition DVD too. (Or I will just have to get a Bluray player...)

Josh, the thoughts are on blu ray now, not DVD, though it will come out when the Universal 100 series Schindler's List comes out. .
there is tons of stuff on the net, there is the crying scene from near the end except Liam Neeson keeps breaking into laughter during the sequence. He did it 3 or 4 times, it's hilarious to watch. He's crying saying I could have saved more then he breaks into laughter and says no I couldn't....

OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

then there's the one that got pulled from Youtube within a few hours after it first appeared, were Spielberg is heard whispering to Liam Neeson that he doesn't buy this Holocaust bullshit at all....
"Let's face it Liam, 6 million people don't just disappear!"

look harder, it should be next to John's rejected score for Color Purple.

Hopefully LLL will release that next. It's possible the nest John Williams music thats still officially unreleased. The bootleg is nice, but the sound is a bit iffy.
I'd love to hear the choir on Celie and Nettie Reunite in great sound quality.

Yes.
These Special Features add to the enjoyment of the movie, more often than not! Makes you appreciate it even more, when you see all the work that went into creating it...

I dunno, most dvd extras are very generic. If you have seen one making of, youve seem em all.
Though for older films they are generally better.
