Directed by Steven Spielberg, this epic historical drama is an obvious Oscar bait movie as it deals with an important historical event—about a German industrialist saving Jews during the holocaust—has a sentimental angle, and is backed by a famous director and cast. And while the movie won big at the Oscars, it is a popular movie in its own right and received widespread acclaim.
