The Bearded Trio

Brad’s April Escape - Part 12 April 20 - Schindler's List Each weekday this month, I’ll screen a film from The Bearded Trio Cinematic Universe and list 10 random scenes, characters, musical cues or performances that I particularly enjoy and look forward to upon every viewing. I’d love to hear similar little things you enjoy about these films, and hope you join me in this escape from the present-day world. Next up is the most important film Steven Spielberg will ever make,  Schindler's List  (1993). Schindler's List - An Introduction Let's get this out of the way - I hated this film as I was watching it in the theater with a couple of college friends in December 1993.
