Still a great movie, but not nearly as shocking as when it was released.

Movies you know you should watch, but just never have

  1. Schindler’s List
6661

A seriously great movie. Top 100 ever, if you ask me, but yeah, not as shocking as it once was-- not even for the narrative twist, let alone the “gore.”

Although, FTR, the narrative twist-- killing off the POV character 1/2-way through– was more shocking than the famous shower scene.

6662

They used that same technique in Dressed to Kill.
