One of my favorites is Escape from Sobibor O0
-
The 10 Commandments with Charlton Heston.
The dialogue is legendary and they turned it into one of the most beautiful movies ever.

Cast a Giant Shadow! greatest movie ever!
-
What is cast about?
-
Yeh some of the facts were twisted but its still beautiful !!!
-
What is cast about?
The 1948 war and Mickie Marcus who was the general of the Israeli army at the time....
-
The Frisco Kid
Entebbe
and if they create a movie based on the novel by Leon Uris, The Haj...i'm sure it'll be awesome.
-
A gentleman agreement
-
The Delta Force
-
School Ties was okay.
-
Just remembered. Casino by Scorsese which featured DeNiro playing a Jewish guy and probably the best was Once Upon A Time In America, the last film by Sergio Leone. It featured DeNiro and Joe Pesci playing Jewish gangsters. It's a long movie, but worth it.
-
I like the movie about heavyweight Jewish boxer, Max Bear, who killed a guy in the ring
-
I like the adaptation of Leon Uris's book, "Exodus". You're right dannycookie, it would be so amazing if a movie was made based on "The Haj" but it would be extremely difficult to capture the magic of the book. I think it would absolutely have to be filmed in Israel as well if it were made.
-
the Hebrew hammer ?? ;D
-
The Ten Commandments, Exodus, Fiddler on the Roof
-
There are so many...but I mainly enjoyed "Exodus", "The Chosen", "The Boys from Brazil", and a little known film called "A Day in October", which portrays the heroic steps taken by the Danes to help save Danish Jews from Hitler's slaughter, while the rest of Europe handed them over without questions.
-
the Hebrew hammer ?? ;D
That movie is retarded. The "ultimate Jewish weapon" ie "guilt" was the stupidest and most self-hating thing ever.

YES! I loved Exodus!

Brighton Beach Memoirs. It's absolutely hysterical!

I didn't think it was self hating, just self parodying. It's nothing to be taken seriously. Just something to have a good laugh over.

I have to agree with Once Upon a Time in America, but Joe Pesci wasn't supposed to be Jewish in that movie.
Also, Raid on Entebbe, Bugsy, The Godfather Part II with Hyman Roth as a main character and Lepke with Tony Curtis. I just can't live without those Jewish gangster films!!! :)

I thought certain parts of Once Upon a Time in America were good, especially when they were kids. But I thought the movie was a bit too long, plus I really didn't like the rape scenes.

Personally, I think the rape scenes and running time are irrelevant, only because Jewish gangsters are often neglected in movies.

Rape scenes are anything but irrelevant to me. I had a girlfriend who was raped, so this is something that hits close to home for me. Plus, I don't think I'd like them anyway.

"The Boys from Brazil"
Excellent choice
-
Black Friday..........
Robert Shaw is a mossad agent who whacks the arab terrorists.
Raid on Entebbe was also good.
Exodus is the best. Followed by Cast a Giant Shadow then Fiddler on the Roof.
-
Robert Shaw
I love Robert Shaw ! Amazing actor. His role as Quint in Jaws was legendary.

He wrote the Man in the Glass Booth, BTW.
His best role was the blond assassin Grant in 007's From Russia With Love.

Sorry guys, but the title is Black Sunday, just in case you ever wanna order it on netflix... ;)

Thanks girl!

Anyone ever see the movie 'Hester Street' ?
Small budget film shot in black and white about a Jewish couple going through a divorce on the Lower East Side of Manhattan around the turn of the century.
Nice mixture of comedy and drama with interesting cultural and historical observations.
In the comedy/romance genre, I enjoyed 'Crossing Delancy'.
The Jewish grandmother was a hoot.
-
The Jewish parents in Portnoi's Complaint were hysterical.
-
My favorite Jewish related movie is Ushpizin.
Check it out at this link

It's really great.

Merkava,
Please do not post Immoral content again.

I know you are kidding?

Merkava, that is pretty vile.

The Ten Commandments, Exodus, Cast a Giant Shadow, Samson and Delilah.

Yes i liked that movie
-

Common now...where is your sense of humour ?? :::D
-
A Walk on the Moon, and Dirty Dancing. Both Catskills movies worth a look. I'm always reminded of going to Kutscher's when watching these!

the frisco kid
-
You know, I'd like to see a movie about Eli Cohen or even a histography of Rabbi Meir Kahane... That would be a real treat... A movie about the 6 Day War would be good... O0
-
I'd like to see a movie about Eli Cohen
There is a really good one. I think its called the Man of Damascus.
-
Really, I've read the book "Our Man in Damascus"... I was unaware it was made into a movie. I think with today's technological resources a movie of that sort would be just fabulous...
-
Yes....thats it: Our Man in Damascus.... Its a good movie !
-
Yes, Bugsy is a great gangster film as well. You're right, I forgot Pesci wasn't Jewish in Once Upon A Time In America, but DeNiro, the main character, was Jewish. Brighten Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues were pretty good comedies, although Neil Simon's nebishy humor could be borderline self-hating to some. Woody Allen films clearly fall into this category.
-
How about Uprising.I thought it was pretty good.
-
I wish they would do more films about the Irgun, The Stern Gang, Betar or heros like Jabotinsky, Begin, Shlomo Ben Joseph, Dov Shilanksy, Jonathan Pollard or Rehavam Ze'evi.
Our tragadies are well documented, it's time some of our defenders were as well!
-
Maybe you could start a thread to tell of Jewish men and women of renown.Gru O0
-
Oh yeah, I also forgot Rocky 3 when we found out Mickey was Jewish. Too bad it was at his funeral service. Priceless seeing Stallone try to speak Hebrew.
-
Good one Ari.What does Ari mean as a name? ???
-
Darn, Merkava took mine...THE TEN COMMANDEMTNS! Though there were some innacuracies (and a love triangle- what was up with that) it still is a great movie. I love to watch it, every year around Passover, it's shown on TV!!! I love it!
Could the inaccuracies be discussed?
-
The Ten Commandments, Exodus, Cast a Giant Shadow, Samson and Delilah.
I forgot about David and Bathsheba. Yeah, I like old movies.
-
What about Samson and Delilah?
You gotta love anybody who kills a thousand Philistinians...I mean Philistines (Freudian slip hehe).
-

Stallone can hardly speak English!

Yes, I agree. With today's cininatography I think that any reality based movie, without the "politically correcting" agenda pushing...would be just amazing. Sadly with people like Speilberg, Larry David and others in the industry those people and groups stated would probably be portrayed as homosexuals, female super women beating the hell out of Jujitsu masters having mass sex or Jabotinsky, Yosef, Stern, Goldstein, or Pollard would be played by shvartzas listening to rap music as they attend a crack party for a Muslim "freedom fighter" who just go released from prison for killing the evil Zionist "occupiers" of Bolistine... :'(

Yo, whaddaya mean by dat?

Hey maybe he has one more fight left in him!Rocky Balboa 2 O0
-
There was a British television movie called The Wall of Silence or something..
-
"Hitlers SS - A Portrait of Evil" is a very sad movie but bodes well for the Jewish characters.I believe it is British. :)
-
Ari means Lion I believe.
-
Ben-Hur.
-
Yes,another Great movie!And Ari ,I didn't know that!A noble name!My name means wagon driver.But ,My last name means bearer of the treasure and You can Guess as a Christian ,what that means to me! :)
wayne jude!
-
Incidentally,My mother named all seven of us with Jude in our name.I thought she liked St Jude.No, her Grandmother came here prior to 1938.It means Jew in German. ;)
-
She is very old and only recently told us of our roots.She meant to protect and I know some ,disrespect that.But im alive and we all are!Unlike those who had a worse fate.Its funny,As much as my educated Brother tried to convince his corporate Elite he was Italian,They laughed.I on the other hand got more of the Italian Genes.LOL I look typical Italian! ;)
-
Ben-Hur.
Ben Hur was spoiled by him converting in the last scene.
-
what do you mean?I have not seen since a child!
-
Fiddler on the roof is my all time favorite.
Ushpizin
Late marriage
-
Why did you bring up a necro thread Deer Man? Reminds me of night of the living dead, which isn't a Jewish-themed movie but seeing some of the user names in this ancient thread makes me think of it.
-
Flag Is Born
-
Ushpizzin was good. I saw a movie on tv when I was 5 about chassdim and one of them had to kill somebody. I don't know what it was called...19 years ago. I enjoy most Holocaust movies...not enjoy in a bad sense, but you know what I meann. Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights was good.
-
Raid on Entebbe was great! Also, a really good HBO movie was the Infiltrator.
-
Kadosh
-
Why did this get resurrected?
-
Definitely, The Ten Commandments, and Ben Hur. Charlton Heston plays the Biblical Characters like no other...Especially as Judah Ben Hur in the Chariot Race when he wears the Star of David for his People and fights the Evil Roman...Messala.

I resurrected this thread to add some newly released films
There is a new German made film just released called "Hannah Arendt" about the woman who covered the Eichman trials. I just received the DVD and I will view it and see if it is any good. I don't know much about this woman.
Sunshine (1999) with Ralph Fiennes.
This isn't new, but I just discovered it. If you are Observant do not watch this because it contains a lot of explicit scenes. The main plot is about a Jewish family in Hungary trying get through the various periods of history. The ending is surprisingly pro Jewish, un PC, with a forthright condemnation of the Communists.
I really enjoyed it but it was spoilt by the unnecessary nudity and adultery.
Defiance,
My favourite Jewish related film of all time: Salla Shabati.
For those who haven't seen it, it is about the emigration of Sephardi Jews to Israel. It is a clever comedy film made in the 1960's. It satirises the beaurocracy in Israel and the differences between Ashkenzis and Sephardis. Chaim Topol got his big break on this film and the theme tune is beautiful.
-
Hannah Arendt yimach schma was as self hating as it gets. She had a lifelong crush on her nazi teacher Martin Heidegger. She wanted Israel to become "bi-national", she even blamed the Jews for winning in 1948 as it "ruined their chances for peace".
-
The Frisco Kid
Entebbe
and if they create a movie based on the novel by Leon Uris, The Haj...i'm sure it'll be awesome.
:laugh: me too, Dan

Thanks for telling me that. I am particularly shocked by her blaming the Jews for winning in 1948...I never knew that, I thought there were no left wing looneys then. That bit was not in the film or on wiki.
I watched the film and everything you said was right. It's a terrible film and I should not have mentioned it here.
The film makers tried hard to portray her positively or "neutral" as they would say...but I still felt repulsed in watching the film. I mean she is in a cushy job in America with awesome connections, so she uses it writes an article blaming all the Jewish leaders and saying that Eichman isn't really that bad. Her "philosophy" sounded like nonsense too.
-
There were fewer crazy Jews back then, remember the Holocaust had just happened. But even then there were some.
