I’d add Schindler’s List to your all-overrated list. As J. Hoberman wrote in The Village Voice, it’s a feel-good movie about the ultimate feel-bad experience. Watch Marcel Ophuls’ Hôtel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie, a far better movie, and you’ll gain an understanding of former Nazis who escaped to South America, as Schindler did, operated.
