Respect Schindler's List (and it's a good movie), but T2 is one of my favorite action movies. It's fun, a great amped-up sequel, and was way better than I thought it would be.

Thankfully, it's closer than I thought it would be. And still time for Schindler's List to close the gap.

If I want to remain friends with Feev, I have to vote T2.

T2 is great fun obviously, but Schindler's List is a far greater film.

Story, acting, music, cinematography, emotional impact...

Its definitely a great film with an added boost of dealing with a very real, very tragic part of human history.

BUT, T2 is arguably just as good in all the departments you listed. There's a reason it's considered a genre benchmark almost 30 years since its release. It handles high concept execution so well.

They're of course very different films with different goals, but as a film, I would say most would agree Schindler's List is a better film.
