I'm always on the lookout for a good Holocaust film that's genuinely disturbing (or at least disquieting) and not just some Schindler's List-wannabe melodrama that's so concerned about being heartwarming that it seems like it's trying to ignore the suffering of millions to focus on the salvation of a few thousand.

I've the first third of it and it does not skimp on the reality of the Holocaust. It's about a group of Jews that were treated well because they were doing a lot of the dirty work at the concentration camp. I would like to finish it when I get the chance.

I'd recommend any of Herzog's other films from Aguirre to Fitzcarraldo and his recent string of documentaries (plus Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New orleans and Rescue Dawn.)

If you want a chaser for bleak films like Herzog's, I'd recommend Cat Ballou, a film starring Lee Marvin, Jane Fonda, Nat King Cole, and Lee Marvin. Yes, I did say Lee Marvin twice. You'll see why when you watch it.

Fantastic film. Never really quite sure if he was telling the truth or not until the end of the film when it became quite obvious...

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country -- I liked it because it was a drag away from the usual mindless space battles and more emphasis on statecraft in a thinly veiled political commentary on the fall of the Soviet Union.
