Heard about this awhile back. LONG overdue DVD, and I CAN'T wait. One of my favorite films, and one of the best films.

well, you'll get your chance in a couple months!

 

I, too, have never seen it. I missed it in theaters (I was about 7 at the time), and the only times I knew about it being on TV were times where it would have commercials, and I'm not having any of that. This will really be the first time I will have had the chance to see it.

Actually Schindler's List has never been aired with commercials in it. When NBC bought the TV rights to the film, Spielberg put a clause in the contract saying that they could never cut it up and air it with commercials as well as them having to show it completely uncut. Hence the reason why they only showed it twice on NBC and why they had to get to get a big name sponsor to foot the bill for airing it without commercial breaks like they did....
