Schindler's List
Schindler's List is below average at 43% across 113 head-to-head matchups, but it's not out of the conversation. No round offers a foothold — below average at every stage. A film that carries the weight of history so effectively that voting against it can feel like a moral statement rather than a preference. That weight is both its greatest bracket asset and its most complicated liability — importance and rewatchability are not the same thing.
Synopsis
The true story of how businessman Oskar Schindler saved over a thousand Jewish lives from the Nazis while they worked as slaves in his factory during World War II.
44% opening, 39% semis, 42% finals. No round breaks above average, but the opening at 44% come closest — that's where Schindler's List shows the most fight.
Against The Shawshank Redemption, the margin is razor-thin: 50%. The most contested matchup in Schindler's List's record. The extremes tell a clear story — 67% against Mad Max: Fury Road at one end, 14% against The Silence of the Lambs at the other.
Schindler's List sits at #9 of Steven Spielberg's 11 films. The filmography spans from Raiders of the Lost Ark (68%) down to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (39%) — a 29% range that shows how differently voters treat the same director's work.
