Oskar Schindler: They won't soon forget the name "Oskar Schindler" around here."Oskar Schindler, " they'll say, "everybody remembers him. He did something extraordinary. He did what no one else did.

Trivia: This movie took in only $3 million on its opening weekend, but went on to earn more than $320 million world-wide.
