Oscar was human but what a great man in horrid times to help the workers in his factory. Producer Spielberg is the best.

The foreign film about the hidden Jews in WW2 sounds good too.

As kids we went to see Ben Hur, epic movie. I was little and got so sad when he visited his mother and sister in the dark prison (and they had leprosy I think)..
