Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Cool. Probably won't come near me though. I will see it if it does, though.

Jay 37,372 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 I first saw it in high school, literally IN highschool, they wheeled a tv on a cart into the classroom and we watched it over a period of 2 or 3 days... from a laserdisc, I think.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I remember when the multiplex opened in my small town, opening weekend instead of showing new movies they just played ET and Titanic all weekend. It was glorious to finally see ET in a movie theater. Schindler won't be glorious of course, but powerful is the right word Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skipped out on a class to watch a big screen TCM presentation of ET on its 30th anniversary, and earlier that year, I got to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade with an absolutely packed auditorium in Chicago. It's really hard to watch The Last Crusade after that, it was probably the most enjoyable moviegoing experience of my entire life. All of the humor still hit their marks big-time with everyone, and the dramatic moments had an added poignancy with the collective weight of the entire audience...I'm getting goosebumps right now remembering the tense silence of hundreds when Papa Jones get shot.

Jay 37,372 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Full press release: Quote UNIVERSAL PICTURES COMMEMORATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF AMBLIN ENTERTAINMENT'S 'SCHINDLER'S LIST' WITH REMASTERED RE-RELEASE IN 4K AND DOLBY CINEMA ON DECEMBER 7, 2018 UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Aug. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- To commemorate the 25th anniversary release of Steven Spielberg's masterpiece Schindler's List, one of the most significant endeavors in the history of cinema, Universal Pictures will re-release the film with picture and sound digitally remastered—including in 4K, Dolby Cinema and Dolby Atmos—for a limited theatrical engagement on December 7, 2018, in theaters across the United States and Canada. On the heels of last year's re-release of James Cameron's Titanic in HDR, this event marks one of the very few times that a film of this magnitude and scope has been remastered in 4K, Dolby Cinema and Atmos. It provides a stunning experience on the big screen, to match the power of the film and its significant themes. This December, audiences can share the experience of a story we must never forget. "It is difficult to believe that it's been 25 years since Schindler's List first arrived in theaters," said Spielberg. "The true stories of the magnitude and tragedy of the Holocaust are ones that must never be forgotten, and the film's lessons about the critical importance of countering hatred continue to reverberate today. I am honored that audiences will be able to experience the journey once again on the big screen." "We are proud to bring the remastered Schindler's List, one of the most important movies of the 20th century, to a new generation of filmgoers," said Ron Meyer, Vice Chairman of NBCUniversal. "The lesson that one person—during one of the darkest chapters in humankind's history—can make a difference is as relevant now as ever before." In advance of the re-release, free educational screenings of the film—coordinated by USC Shoah Foundation—will be available for high-school educators and their students in selected AMC, Regal, Cinemark, Marcus Theatres, Cineplex, Harkins and National Amusements locations in major markets in North America on Tuesday, December 4, and Wednesday, December 5. "As curators of the world's largest collection of firsthand accounts about the consequences of hatred, USC Shoah Foundation is uniquely positioned to educate and inspire humanity to counter hate through empathy and action," said Spielberg, who established the Shoah Foundation after his experiences filming Schindler's List. "Those who engage with this eyewitness testimony make deeply meaningful connections, develop critical thinking and empathy, and learn to reflect on the choices they can make to counter hatred." The top-20 markets that will host the special Schindler's List school screenings include those in Phoenix, AZ; Los Angeles, CA; Sacramento, CA; San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA; Denver, CO; Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, FL; Orlando, FL; Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; Cleveland, OH; New York City, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX; Washington, DC; Atlanta, GA; Houston, TX; Detroit, MI; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN; and Seattle, WA. Additional markets will be announced soon. Additional elements of the launch include the new trailer, released today, as well as a forthcoming re-release of the iconic film score by five-time Academy Award®-winning composer John Williams—on the soundtrack from La-La Land Records—which will include never-before-heard material. To further commemorate this historic film, the remastered version of Schindler's List will be re-released in theatres internationally across select territories in early 2019. The remastered film will also be available in 4K HDR, Dolby Vision and Atmos on home-entertainment platforms subsequent to theatrical release. USC Shoah Foundation—under its Stronger Than Hate initiative—will work with partner organizations to provide classroom-ready resources through its award-winning educational website IWitness to accompany the theatrical and home entertainment releases of the film. USC Shoah Foundation will partner with other educational organizations to scale the reach and impact of the Schindler's List re-release, utilizing their IWitness website as a central platform for educators to find resources. Partners include: Facing History and Ourselves, which will publish a new digital Schindler's List Study Guide and offer related in-person and online professional learning opportunities; Echoes & Reflections, an education resource partnership with the ADL and Yad Vashem that offers teachers a variety of ways to examine critical themes of the Holocaust; and Discovery Education, the leading provider of digital content and professional development for K-12 classrooms—with services that are available in approximately half of U.S. classrooms, 50 percent of all primary schools in the U.K., and more than 50 countries around the globe. USC Shoah Foundation builds and deploys groundbreaking, testimony-based programs, using its Visual History Archive® of more than 55,000 eyewitness testimonies to educate young people about the consequences of hatred, while giving actionable tools to teachers to combat hateful ideologies.

Incanus 5,715 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Oh man I can't go see this in cinema. I would be a sobbing mess by the finale. I remember seeing the film on TV a few years after it had come out and being an emotional wreck by the end, much thanks to the heart-wrenchingly beautiful score by the Maestro. It must have been one of the most emotional reactions to a movie back when I was a teenager. Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get a new license for just the first film, I wonder if they would press 3000 units or more. It surprises me, however, that no major re-release was planned for Saving Private Ryan's 20th anniversary. I looked forward to revisiting that more than the other two Spielberg titles, and yet, in my area, it was only screened in one theater on 6/6 (not even DCP, but in 35mm). I'm sad I missed it.

Incanus 5,715 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Both Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are just wonderful in this film, Neeson for his magnetic almost hypnotic charisma as Oscar Schindler, Fiennes for his performance of the psychopath coldness, vanity and greed of Amon Goeth. And who could forget the quiet but resolute warmth of Ben Kinsley's Itzhak Stern. And the rest of the cast follows suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's open minded about releasing deleted scenes from his more popcorn fare like Jaws, Close Encounters, ET, Hook, Lost World, but I don't think any of his historical dramas have ever included deleted scenes on home video. Nor have the Indiana Jones films, despite being filled to the brim with deleted scenes! Grrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 4,720 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don't know why, but the concept of "deleted scenes" for Schindler's List just feels wrong. It's such a wholly realised work of art that I think seeing out of context deleted scenes would bother me and feel a bit trivial. I'm not interested in seeing them. Dunno, probably just my hangup.
